So first off I'm trying to stick to a build around $1,500 for all the new parts that I don't currently own.
I currently own a gaming laptop (Asus g752VL) which I plan on selling and I own an external 500 GB Samsung SSD, mouse, mouse pad, keyboard, and 144hz Asus monitor. Now I also own a eGPU (Razer Core X) with a RTX 2060 super inside. Basically I want to upgrade to something better that will last me a couple years.
This is the current build I have on PC part picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ymqQHB .
1 x Intel Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor
1 x be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler
1 x Gigabyte Z390 DESIGNARE ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
1 x G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory
1 x Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
1 x NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case
1 x Windows Home
My first question would be do I really need to get a separate PSU? The PSU inside of the eGPU is 650 watts and model name is PS - 8651 - 2. I'm open to getting a new one if I physically have to but I'd like to save money to put towards other things.
I'm extremely open to changing the case, motherboard, and cpu cooler.
I'm acceptable to CPU and memory changes. When it comes to CPU though I want something that I will be able to do stuff such as stream, code, and video edit. Memory I would also like 32 GBs and fast obviously.
I plan on getting another external monitor with a better refresh rate but that'll probably be a birthday present from my girlfriend soon so no need for any monitor upgrades.
Any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated! Basically I just want best bang for my buck that I know will work when I put everything together.
