Hi guys. So my local PC builder guy just made me 2 different builds at two price points. 1 for $1870 and the second is for $1362. What am I gonna use it for?100% gaming. What games do I play? Currently I play dota 2, StarCraft 2, CS go, apex and rust. I will also get baldurs gate and monster hunter once I got the new build. Though just to add I have a limited playing time since I work/supervise my business 7 days a week and can I I only game for may be 2 to 4 hours a day.

Here's the builds:

Build A

Mobo: MSI B650M Project Zero

Monitor: 27” MG-27KI 165hz 2560x1440 QHD VIEWPLUS IPS
Case: DarkFlash DLM21 tempered

Mystique 240 aio liquid cooling


Build B

Mobo: Gigabyte B550M Aorus Elite AX
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700x
GPU: MSI RTX 4060 Ti Gaming X Slim 8gb
RAM: 16GB ddr4 tforce delta 3600mhz 2 x 8GB white
SSD: Teamgroup 500GB M.2 NVMe gen4

Thank you in advance for your comments/suggestions.
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

In Build A;
You sure that case is compatible with the Project Zero motherboard you have listed in the specs? I worked with that case and it's not meant for rear facing connectors found of BTF/Project Zero motherboards. Yu should look at a dual channel DDR5-6000MHz ram kit to get the most out of your AM5 platform. You don't need a 1000W unit although that unit from the Corsair series is reliably built, you can dial down the PSU to an 850W a 750W unit.

Build B:
Looks okay but that Gigabyte PSU has me concerned, got a link to the unit you're looking at?

What sort of resolution and refresh rate will the system's be taxed with? For 1080p, Build A is overkill. If you tweak build A just a little, you'd be set for a few years without the need to upgrade, IMHO.

Where are you located, what is your preferred site for purchase if you're not located in the USA?

I'm from the philippines. If I get a corsair 850w would that be good for build b? And yes it's just gonna be just 1080p gaming.

What would you suggest otherwise for both builds? I won't be the one buying the parts. It's gonna be my local builder since he's going get it straight from suppliers

...but you've mentioned 1440p monitors in your listing.

I'm not located in the Philippines and this site is based in the USA, you should pass on links to store you have access to in order for us to probably patch up some parts in order to shape into a build.

We basically use the same

Sorry I got confused on the monitor part. Essentially I want a PC that will still be significant after 2 3, or 4 years. That will let me play some of my current games in either ultra or at least high setting. 1440p or 1080p any of these two is actually ok with me since I can only use them 3 to 4 hrs a day. I usually use pcpart picker for the website since we can order those parts/brands again thanks for your patience.

Which ever one you pick you might want to add a 1TB or bigger ssd for game storage.

It does not take many games to chew through some serious space.
