[SOLVED] Need help with computer parts (gaming pc)

[Buettner]

Hello, I am trying to get a gaming PC to run fortnite, rocket league, no mans sky, and some other games (would like pretty good fps on those), and as I do not know much about what parts are the best or good for price, I decided to ask here. Budget is around 700-750$. Also, I have a GTX 960, could that be used in any way or should I just sell it? Its kinda old.

Thank you for your help

With your budget I don't see much reason in keeping the GTX 960. Perhaps sell it for a nice gaming keyboard and mouse.

Case: Get whatever case you want. The one listed is decent enough there may be better ones for the price. It is there primarily as a price placeholder. A case should be chosen to your aesthetics. Just edit the part list. PCPartpicker should then show you compatible cases with the build. You can always post back for a double check for compatibility or quality.

RAM: I didn't look at the QVL for the motherboard. It gets enough customer reviews of Ryzen compatibility to make it a pretty safe bet to achieve full speed.
