Hello everyone I hope you're doing well.
I'd like to build a desktop PC, but I have no clue what components to buy since I've been out of tune regarding price/ performance ratio for a few years.
I'm thinking about getting one of the new RTX 3000's series (RTX 3080 to be precise), but they are sold out where I live, would it be worth the wait?
My current budget sits around 1500€
Any opinions/ advice will be highly appreciated.
Here's a useful list for guidance:
Approximate Purchase Date: This week, but can wait
Budget Range: 1500€
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Programming, etc.
Overclocking: Not thinking about it
SLI or Crossfire: Not thinking about it
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Monitor: No idea (144Hz or 240Hz)
CPU: Intel Core i-5 10600K 4.1GHz
CPU Cooler: No idea
GPU: RTX 3080 (preferably from ASUS)
Motherboard: No idea, although I've heard about the ASRock Z490 Taichi being a good choice
RAM: 16GB (No idea what brand)
Storage: Maybe an NVMe for OS and SSD for games and files in general
Case: No idea
PSU: No idea
Thanks for your attention!
