Refening Parts list

Curption · June 18

Budget (including currency): 2000-2500 Australian Dollars

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Sim racing at 1440p high fps, maybe 4k, and VR potentially

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

Hello I am looking to build a new system and haven't built a parts list in years and have no idea what components are the best value for the dollar nowadays. I do some basic video editing and am looking to keep the nvidia gpu, and all I have had is issues with AMD GPU in the past, but other than that, anything can be changed but I also do care about aesthetics a little bit. I like Aio and used them in the past, I have heard air cooling is more reliable though.

Thank you, any help is appreciated .

You want low profile DDR5-6000 CL30. Low profile so that the heatsinks don't impede a dual tower cpu cooler and CL30 seeing how games benefit from low latency RAM. Single 2TB SSD will suffice just fine.
