Hi everyone, I am looking to buy PC Parts this weekend for a gaming PC and would like to know if this is a good list. I already bought a 600 Watt Power Supply, 8 GB DDR3 [1600 MHz] and a Case. I was wondering if the other parts I picked out will work good for games ranging from Minecraft all the way to the new Triple A Games like Call of Duty and Fallout. The budget for all these parts around $1000CAD including OS [Again without the Case, Ram and Power Supply as I have bought them already] also I would like to keep 4 GB of VRAM. I just want to know if this is a good choice or if I need to change a few parts, thank you.

IMO I would get an Intel Core i5 processor instead of the FX-8320.

 

If not overclocking, get the i5 4460.

 

If you are overclocking, get the i5 4690k.

PC: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 @ 3.8GHz | EVGA RTX 2060 SUPER | MSI B350 Gaming Pro Carbon | G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB @ 3200MHz C14 | EVGA G3 650W

 

Laptop: 2023 Macbook Pro 16" - M2 Max | 64GB RAM | 1TB SSD

What PSU? Please don't say CX600...

 

Anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong but the $1000 CAD is for the remaining parts, correct?

 

Here's my take:
