My First PC Build

[Jared.K]

I am saving up to build my first pc, my pc budget is 5000 CAD (just under 400 USD) and was wondering if you have any suggestions for specs, I will be playing at 1080p, esports settings. I have picked out all my peripherals and I just need the pc specs, right now I am going for a; 4080 super, 9800x3d.

As an owner of a 9800X3D and overclocked RTX 4080... I gotta say I am absolutely loving my system.

I can play whatever I want and I play at 1440p.

It is such a joy to use and I game hours every day. Why wouldn't it be though.. Its pretty top of the line.

I dont play any E-Sports titles though...

9800X3D and a 4080 Super for 1080p Esports setting seems a bit crazy but with MSI showing us 600Hz monitors during CES.. I guess its valid.

 

Since 5090's and 5080's are impossible to find right now and 4090's are impossible to find or extremely expensive..

I gotta saya a 4080 Super is probably the way to go within your budget.. That or a 7900 XTX.

yeah I was deciding between the 4080 and 7900 xtx, but if I am not mistaken the 4080 super performs better at 1080p then the 7900 xtx...

Maybe in E-Sports titles but overall they are very equal at 1080p with the 7900 XTX winning by a few fps in an overall benchmark.

12 game average at 1080p.    But we are talking an unnoticeable difference in FPS.

But again,  Maybe in E-Sports games the 4080 Super is better.

No Problem!  This will be a beastly machine that you can play E-Sports titles with top tier framerate for many many years.

 

Here is a 14 game average at 1080p with an RTX 4090 and you can see how well the 9800X3D does at this resolution.

Enjoy this machine! It will be fantastic   I know, I have one!
