Budget (including currency): around 1500, but just neeed good bang for buck 

 

Country: UK

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mainly wanting to stream and play games like marvel rivals cod maybe rocket league. I’m at 1440p 144hz currently

 

Other details I was looking to buy in the next 2 months. I would ideally want a pre build as it’s less hassle but idk trying it out. I chose these parts as a rough idea:

Keep in mind that there's going to be some overhead cost on prebuilts, and you'll be paying more of a premium to get the newest generations too. But, you can still get a very capable build in that range. Just find one with some good reviews on-site, but ideally from some trusted tech reviewers. Nothing against your parts list really, but if you're looking at a prebuilt, might need to lower the ideals or increase the budget.

In two months time the prices of gpu's should start to normalize meaning there's a decent chance you can fit a RTX 5070 Ti 16GB into this build.

I get what you are saying. I definitely would rather try building it my self ,but what else do I need? Extra fans? Thermal paste?

Thank you! This is much better than id expected. Would it be reasonable to replace the air cooler to an aio?

This forums namesake has countless videos on it. But eh extra or just different fans to be consistent can be nice; no, most coolers come pre pasted, padded, or with an Oz or so, but for the cost extra paste is good incase you need to reinstall. Some tools, hdmi cable, peripherals, etc is all really

If you plan on streaming or using DLSS then Nvidia for sure. Otherwise look at price to performance. These prices will change over the next two months (lower) but as of now ...
