Hello everyone. I was going to buy a prebuilt PC from Cyberpower PC, but was persuaded by almost every video I watched to build my own. I've never built one myself before. My goal is to get 1080p 144hz. I want to overclock and push it safely as far as it can go. So far this is what I have in mind. Prices are just based off of amazon.
Games I want to / play: League, Dauntless, AAA games at minimum 60hz without dipping under.
Case: Still looking, I want a Full ATX for airflow I know that much.
MOBO: B450 - $119
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 / 2700X - $209/$279 ( Comes with a cooler, but not sure how good it is.)
GPU: RX 590 8GB - $229
PSU: 650 /750 ? - $70 / $100
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance - $75
SSD: 1TB Crucial - $119
OS: Windows 10 ( I saw a linus vid that said you can get it for free? granted its with a watermark but doesn't impact anything. Buying it isn't a problem though.)
2700 vs 2700x from what I researched its about 10% better for about 80$ more. Not sure if its worth for just 10%. I like to multitask while gaming and do a tiny (and I do mean tiny) bit of video editing so its why I chose R7. I want to play Dauntless with a friend, though reccomended is specs is an i7. RX590 competes with the GTX 1660ti which is slightly better, but for the price point is about $50 cheaper. PSU for watts needed with overclocking I checked the forums they said 650 was bare minimum so I'm guessing 700/750? Im trying to budget where I can, but spending a bit more for better performance is doable. As for brands of mobos / gpu I have no idea. I like ASUS rog strix but theyre so expensive. Gigabyte / MSI looks more budget friendly.
Help / feedback appreciated thanks guys.
