Use PCPartPicker.com to check compatability and look for better deals, I expect you can do alot better than this for $1100.

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Trust but Verify! Expand for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components and other tech. I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need.

 

Common build advice: 1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

He/Him

 

I'm a PhD student working in the fields of reinforcement learning and traffic control. PCs are one of my hobbies and I've built many PCs and performed upgrades on a few laptops (for myself, friends and family). My personal computers include 3 windows (10/11) machines and a TrueNAS server (and I'm looking to move to dual booting Linux Mint on my main machine in future). While I believe I have an decent amount of experience in spec’ing, building and troubleshooting computers, keep in mind I'm not an expert or a professional and I make mistakes.

 

Favourite Games of all time: World of Tanks, Runescape, Subnautica, Metroid (Fusion and Dread), Spyro: Year of the Dragon (Original and Reignited Trilogy), Crash Bash, Mario Kart Wii

Yeah, you can do a lot better than this for around $1100. Your build puts too much money into things like the case, power supply, and SSD and not enough money into the CPU and GPU, which are the things that really matter for a gaming build.

 

This would be much better for $1100:

If you really want Nvidia, you could get the 4070 for just a little more money (though, be aware - there are two versions of the 4070, the GDDR6**X** version and the GDDR6 (no X) version. The no-X version is usually a little cheaper but also a little slower.)

 

That said, you described your use case as "documents and light gaming/streaming," so, depending on what games you're planning to run, I'd honestly say that this might be overkill and you could do something a lot cheaper and still be fine. If you want to save some money, this would still be good and much cheaper:

Beyond that, if you're really not that concerned about high-end gaming performance, you could even drop the GPU down to something like an RX 6600 or used RTX 2060 Super and cut another $100-$150 off the price.
