Alright so income tax is rolling around and i'm ready to build a new pc to hold me over for a year or two years.
My current pc is a fx 8320 with a r9 280x (My current pc) so its not that well with the games i play.
I want to be able to play games at max with 60 fps or low with 144 hz monitors. I also would like the rtx for the games releasing with that technology like atomic hearts. I dont care for fps WITH RTX enabled because im using to running games a 24-50 fps on High-max with my current pc. I am ok with not having rtx if your argument is compelling enough to downgrade (or upgrade)
I want this pc to hold me off for 1-2 years before i buy my forever pc later in life when I get my lump sum. After I get my 3000 dollar pc i will send this pc to my girlfriend so it's not going to waste.
Here is the pc im upgrading to at income tax
I've looked through all the parts and will give my explanation to why I choose these parts.
Cpu: I choose the 9600k because its 5% faster than the 8600k with the same cost. The 9th generation cpu comes with the chip soldered together so the thermals should improve over the 8600k. I wanted a pc capable enough to run single core only old games and games like ark and rust. (open world games)
Ram: Its just ram. 3200 is the speed where anything more doesn't make a huge enough difference in fps. I choose 3000 because the speeds between both in games are negligible.
cpu cooler: I wanted to try out an aio for the first time so the h55 seemed like (with he decent reviews and price) a decent choice. Though i'm not too experienced in this so maybe I could get better without breaking the bank?
storage: I already have a ssd with some hard drive space but I could use more hdd but anyways I wanted a m.2 because i've heard its much faster than the current ssd i have (you can see in the parts list above).
Motherboard: I didn't put too much research in this because I still dont understand the intel naming scheme enough to fully pick one but this motherboard was recommended by a few people. They said z390 doesnt need a previous generation cpu to setup (I dont have one) so I thought this motherboard being one of the cheaper options would be sufficient for me. If anyone has a better option (cheaper please) without sacrificing allot of the sata connections or the m.2 I would be very happy. Also the motherboard has to be able to just slap the cpu in and work without needing another cpu. Unless someone wants to send me one. XD
Case: I already own this so i'm just swapping it in.
Psu: I already own this so i'm just swapping it in.
Graphics card: I choose the rtx 2060 (despite hearing micron chips are degrading at an alarming rate) because I wanted a much faster card for the eye candy graphics in single player titles, and enough fps to run my games with low response time for my mouse. I want to play games like Ark, Rust, Crossfire, Anthem, The Division 2, Paladins, Overwatch, etc. Any game you could name I probably want to play it. I have a preference for open world games but I want graphics on those open worlds games too. I'm tired of 25 fps in rust and dieing to people because their pc doesnt lag.
What do you guys think? Is this list put together well or did I make some mistakes? I'm really happy with how much time i've spent refining my craft in building pcs and am done just buying the cheapest all the time. For anyone curious of the pc im going to spend 3000 dollars on its here. Its overkill because I want To not buy a pc again for 10 years (hopefully). If you have extra time is there anything I could make better on this overkill pc? Please separate the pc i want now and this one please.
Thanks to anyone who helps out. I don't want to mess anything up and I will be sure to take all your advise and treat you with the upmost respect when you tell me i suck and all these parts are terrible.
