first pc build (again)

At0mhandl3r · February 11, 2025

My budget for the pc is around $2000 aud.

My country is Australia

On this computer i will want to be able to play games such as silent hill 2 remake, total war warhammer 3 aswell as being able to run applications such as pro tools and other things that are similar

Heyo, saying again because i posted on here a little while back about a $3000 aud build. Since then i've thought it over and lowered my budget to something a little more reasonable, was just wondering if there is anything wrong with my list or if there are some things that i could have done better. thank you for taking the time to read this

Great build. I like it! You are not overspending on anything while keeping parts of decent quality.

The 7700 non X does come with a stock cooler but during Australian summers it might be a bit loud.

I won't critique you for going with a Phantom Spirit RGB It also looks pretty cool.

The Montech AIR 903 MAX is a solid budget case with great airflow.

You can always change some components around to save a buck or two but overall I do like this build.

850w is a bit overkill for this system and a solid 750w or even a solid 650w would be enough but the AGL is a great PSU and having some headroom for future upgrades is good.
