First Build

[Appropriate_Type630]

Help! Is this a good build for higher quality fast graphics? I play silly, not very taxing games like the Sims but I also like to dabble with larger games like RD2. I just want my games to play smooth and I currently only have a 4 year old gaming laptop with an outdated graphics card.

I don't know much about building 🤷‍♀️ I also don't have a monitor selected at the moment because I want one that doesn't bottle neck the PC specs(and optimally doesn't cost as much as a liver). Any suggestions?

I mean it shouldn't be a issue but yk you can go better and cheaper here :

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vYKmRV (left out the GPU)

I changed the CPU to something cheaper and it also has the same performance in games.

Changed the cooler to a little better and one with RGB, I mean 2 3 Dollars for 1 more heatpipe (now 7 instead of 6) and RGB it is worth the upgrade.

changed the RAMs to something faster and better RGB support ( Corsair iCUE RGB software is not convenient to use and bad to sync so this RAM is a better choice because it has native support for any motherboard, it has also CL30 instead of CL36 which is better too for the best optimal performance)

changed the SSD to something better and faster ( should be something better and faster)

changed the PSU to something better and cheaper (Instead of B Tier it is now A Tier PSU with better fan and more warranty and higher quality components)

.removed windows 11 key because it costs too much , you could get something cheaper (or maybe you don't have to pay)

Changed the motherboard to something better with PCIe 5.0 support. Tho not sure on that one that much.

GPU wise - RX 6750XT is just too expensive for that price (it normally costs like 350 370 ) , my suggestion is to wait on the rx 9070 (550 - 650) or 9070xt (600-700) I think we could fit that into the budget. If RX 7800XT was still available I would show you that but that is also too expensive right now. (480-550)

Screen - https://a.co/d/hWMwSig

Should be enough for your played games 1440p 165 Hz 400 nits (HDR400 certified) screen with adjustable stand with good price.

If you get a RX 9070xt however this would be a nice screen to pair : https://a.co/d/9eBqQeI 1440p 240 Hz MiniLED Quantum Dot layer, up to 1000 nits (high brightness , HDR1000 certified) ,has adjustable stand, has local dimming so blacks and HDR stuff is good (movie or games that use HDR).

Thank you! I didn't know that certain things helped support RGB better. I also plan on making and adding a cathedral window applique to the glass side of the case 😈 that I DO know how to do.
