I am looking to build a new PC from scratch with all new parts. The goal is to be able to enjoy maxed out settings that'll hit 144fps+ consistently on most titles at the 1440p resolution.
Approximate Purchase Date: Purchase date depends on if I can actually get my hands on A 3080. If I can get it before BF2042, the purchase date for the build would happen around October of this year. If I can't land a 3080, I'll be purchasing around January 2022 but even then, I suppose it might be too early to request a build for January.
Budget Range: I plan on allotting $3000 Cad to all of the parts for the tower (willing to add more if needed) and $1000 for peripherals (1440p monitor, new keyboard, mouse, speakers, headset, microphone, etc)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: This build will strictly be for gaming and VR. I won't be using it for editing or running any VMs
Are you buying a monitor: Yes I am also looking for a 1440p 144hz monitor.
Parts to Upgrade: I won't be transferring any parts over from my 1070 build from 5 years ago. I have a 1080p 144hz BenQ that would be used as a second monitor.
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preferences. There's a memory Express, best buy and Canada computers in my city (London Ontario) that if I can save a few bucks on shipping, I can just be on the look out for parts from these outlets.
Location: London, Ontario, Canada.
Parts Preferences: The only part preferences I would have would be the CPU to be a R9 5900x and the 3080 to be from a brand with favorable reviews and workload temps. For CPU cooling, I'd like it to be watercooled (The Celsius S24, for example). SSD for storage ( M.2, PCIe first before sata), a PSU to allow lots of breathing room (Maybe platinum grade) and the case to be dark.
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: I plan on playing single player/MMO games on the 1440p resolution and any competitive games(mostly FPS) on my second 1080p monitor.
Additional Comments: I am basically referencing this build around the Enthusiast tier from Logical Increments. I am also interested in suggestions for a set of speakers in the $100 to $200 range.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current 1070 build is doing just fine for 1080p at most titles. I've always built PCs around the mid tier and I want to do one last build to be a "cream of the crop" before I decide to shelve gaming as a hobby way down the road. I am open to any suggestions that you guys might have! Thank you!
