[SOLVED] First PC Build 1440p

[Vitpilen]

Hey guys,

I am looking to buy a new pc and this is what I managed to build for 1,000$.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bJfbYH

Is this build ok? Should I go with it?

Update:
I managed to make a more budget friendly PC build with all the parts available to purchase in my country for less than 1,100$

I went with Nvidias RTX because I got a G-SYNC Monitor & I completely forgot. What do you think of it?

If you don't mind paying a bit more than you would usually, sure. It's not a bad build but some of the prices are higher than usual atm. That mobo, for instance, is usually about $90 and you'd be much better off with the Tomahawk.

Save money and get 3600 instead. Same performance. Also, get a better mobo. The savings allow you to upgrade your m.2 to the 1tb version and a 5700xt. Dropped in a higher quality 550W model. More than enough power for your needs.

you can also save up some money on the RAM, to get the Corsair LPX, or the g.skill ripjaws V,
i think 500gb M.2 is ok for the pricing and get a HDD 2TB ( more bang for the buck )

That’s a horrible choice compared to the first build. You basically downgraded every part for more money.

You should be looking at this, good recommendation.
Cooler master PSU are garbage. Corsair CV series is garbage. Don’t use those with a 2060super or 5700/XT.
Intel 660p is fine, however Adata 8200 pro is a better choice.

Thanks, unfortunately I can't find a SeaSonic FOCUS anywhere in my country, I did find a SeaSonic M12III 80+ Bronze 550W for 95$, should I get it?

CX 550m 88 bucks. Their no reason to pay more for one that not semi modular.

I found a ANTEC PSU 650W High Current Gamer Gold 80+ for 110$ is it better?
