[SOLVED] Thoughts on New build

[romulusbear]

Hi All,
I am in the process of building a new PC to play games with my brother that lives in a different state and need some advice on my build. I don't the best of the best but a mid to high mid tier range would be great. I would like this to last for a few years. We mostly like to play game like Satisfactory, Assassins Creed, Cyberpunk, No Man Sky, Witcher 3, etc.. I want the games to look good, but do not have to play on the highest setting for everything.

I appreciate any feedback on the build, advice, potential issue, and if there is any way to reduce the price a bit (I still need monitor and peripherals).

Thank you!

Assasin's Creed,Witcher 3,Cyberpunk are all AAA titles which need a beefier Graphics card,rather than a beefier cpu.
Also you dont need to pay 100$ for windows,there are much cheaper ways to getting a windows license.

The GPU prices are pretty nuts right now,but RX 580 8gb should definitelly do better than RX 570 4GB

I'd change the hard drive set up to a 1TB SSD and do away with the mechanical drive for now.

I'd honestly go for the SATA one,wont feel that much of a difference anyway.

Thank you! I was also looking at the 5 5600 but they are pretty hard to find.

Have you had luck with the AOC? I haven't heard much about them.

I have an older Asus atm but the reviews on that monitor were decent enough.
