Hey there fellow internaut!
I recently convinced myself that it's time to build a gaming desktop, I'm tired of being able to cook eggs on my craptop.
FYI I'm a citizen in Europe, Belgium so I can not order from amazon/newegg. I threw some parts together recommended by friends, I'm not so sure if they're all compatible and if I missed something. Some advice and corrections would be great!
Approximate Purchase Date: mid/end June
Budget Range: Willing to stretch my budget up to €1.500,00 ($1,700.00)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: VR, Programming, Gaming: Apex Legends, Metro Exodus, The Division 2, Sekiro: Shadow Die Twice, ...
Are you buying a monitor: No, not with this budget, I have a 4 year old Benq monitor (1080p), will probably upgrade that in the summer to 144Hz.
Parts to Upgrade: Everything, Don't have any parts at the moment.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Alternate.be & Azerty.nl (Dutch websites, you can use google translate if you want to take a look).
Location: Europe, Belgium: Leuven
Parts Preferences: AMD CPU (cheaper) and Nvidia graphics card
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe?
Your Monitor Resolution: currently 60Hz 1080p, this summer: probably a 1440p, 144Hz monitor?
Additional Comments: Case needs a window, it needs to be future prove and hopefully last me around 5 years before needing an upgrade
GPU: There are so many different GPU versions of the same one, I picked EVGA on recommendation of a friend. No clue what's best.
Edit: Added VR to the list of usages
