Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents. 

 

PSA: Posting a PCPartPicker list with no explanation isn't helpful for first-time builders :)

$100 price increase would mean dropping the SSD, not sure how good a tradeoff that is, also, I forgot to mention that I'm only going for 720P60

why dont you upgrade monitor also? i think you can build 1080p gaming rig with monitor in that budget but yes the cpu selection depends on how badly you need streaming & content creation.

I would upgrade the 1060 to 6gb, much more future proofed that way. My buddy's 680s were doing him great, but the 2gb of VRAM was a serious bottleneck.  Also, personally I'd save up until your next paycheck to grab a 2TB drive instead of 1TB. Better price/gb and you'll have storage for days

How's this look? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZJBNtJ

please quote so that we get notification of your reply :)  ok that is not a good motherboard for ryzen. for ram, ryzen benefits from fastest ram so you should get fastest ram possible. if you prefer the case, thats fine but the one i selected has psu shroud & decent cable management & last you don't need that much higher watt psu. your system will hardly need over 300-350w in total ..so a decent 450-500w psu is more than enough!

Actually, I Probably will get the one you suggested, but I'm a bit skeptical of the seagate HDD, Why can't I use the WD one?

its fine both seagate or WD blue, toshiba p300, whatever you choose. that was just 1 dollar less haha. feel free to go with WD if that is what you prefer.

check the case suggested by @herman mcpootis that looks nice.
