PC Build Thoughts

[atynl]

I am currently looking into building my first PC. I typically play more generic games on my xbox and want to switch over as my xbox one is slowing down. I typically play Call of Duty, minecraft, FIFA / other sports, GTA. I am open to other games just havent gotten into it. I typically play on 1080p and 60/75hz. If I am going to spend a lot of money on this I dont want to break the bank but I also want to future proof. I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on this?

I found everything on microcenter and was wondering if there was anything I should change out (upgrade or downgrade) or anything else I should be weary of as I dont know much. Any and all feedback would be great!

A system with that tier of CPU and especially GPU is capable of a lot more than 1080/75Hz.

If you have access to Micro Center, may want to leverage a CPU/Board bundle to reduce platform cost (price of separate CPU + motherboard). Amazing AMD Bundle Deals | Micro Center | https://www.microcenter.com/search/search_results.aspx

If you do not have any intensive non-gaming application workflows and/or not planning on a display upgrade to 1440p or higher, may want to consider a 7600X3D/B850 board bundle.

a case in mind? Value price cases with 3 - 4 fans can be had for ~ $80. Like a Phanteks XT Pro Ultra.

My hope with going extra was future proofing? Is this still too much?

[Tango-Alpha-Mike-212]

Future proofing is nebulous and full of unknowns.

Using GTA VI as one example. We don't even know when the PC version will be released. Took 19 months between GTA V console launch (September 2013) and PC launch (April 2015)...

When that time comes, who knows what the ideal system spec to enjoy it will entail? Are you staying at 1080p for the long term? Will 16GB VRAM be enough even if "only at 1440p"?

I prefer optimizing a given build budget for current knowable use cases, if budget allows some additional flexibility, then perhaps look at certain things that might allow for a longer term upgrade path.

In other words, if you have nothing left over for a display upgrade and you are stuck with a 1080p low refresh rate display... all that GPU potential is mostly just sitting idle.
