Hey all, I'm building a new gaming pc and I could use some advice. I've been doing lots of Googling, but it would help to have someone with more knowledge look at it.
First, the standard questions!
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: between €1500 and €2000 (preferably ca. €1750)
System Usage from Most to Least Important:Gaming, both fast-paced FPS and RPG
Are you buying a monitor: Yes. This isn't included in the budget. Currently thinking about Acer Predator XB271HU.
Do you need to buy OS: No, I'm fairly sure I can reuse the old one.
Location: The Netherlands.
Parts Preferences: Slight preference for intel, but not a requirement.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1440p (144 Hz)
Additional Comments: I'm upgrading from an older PC, but I don't think i can reuse much. On paper the PSU and the cooling unit would be fine for the new build, but the parts are 5 years old, so I'll replace those. I am planning on reusing the chassis, though.
What I have now:
Total price atm: €1729
I'd appreciate any tips! Thanks in advance.
