[SOLVED] Looking for opinions on Gaming PCs

[nyy90]

This will be my first gaming PC. I've looked into already built PCs but they don't fill me with confidence. I am leaning toward building my own, which will also be a first for me.

I will mainly use it for gaming and maybe try to stream, but I'm not sure. The games I mainly play are Football Manager, Fortnite and Age of Empires, when the new release comes out in November.

I am looking for any suggestions and recommendations.
Thank you

If you want to stream, you'll want to choose NVIDIA Turin architecture instead. Much better for streaming as the encoder and tensor cores are much better suited and it was developed with OBS in mind.

I'd sooner go the 3200 RAM with Intel 660p too.

You’d recommend a Nvidia GPU? Will that go well with a Ryzen CPU?

If so, any big difference between the R5 1600 and 2600?

Makes absolutely no difference. The brand of the CPU and GPU in a system bears no relevance to its performance.

It will work perfectly fine.

Not a huge difference, but usually the price difference isn't always much either, so usually the 2600 is better. That and it's newer architecture.
