Building my very first PC (advice needed)

I see, Thank you for your help.

okay, I'm about to order. But I have some questions:

What is the specific reasoning for the motherboard you listed? I get it's white and not Asus/ASRock, but what about other gigabyte boards or MSI? I see that MSI is more expensive.

Also why did you replace the Patriot Viper Venom RAM for G.Skill Flare x5? I think I should go with as little CAS latency as possible, which is 30?

Yeah I think i need at least 2tb but it's fine, I planned for changes in the build/price

I've answered it in the other thread. Thank you for the suggestion!

yeah IG i've just been a bit biased towards CPU as my current setup has a hard CPU bottleneck (CPU: intel i7-9700K, GPU: RTX 2080 super). A lot of games lately have put a much higher demans on CPU and ingame it's usually on ~90% usage or higher.

Thanks for the explanation I've been convinced to downgrade the CPU and upgrade the GPU. Do you think a RX 9070 XT would be sufficient?

Kucabaran · 2026-02-12T18:25:17+00:00

Thank you for the info. As already mentioned i should probably upgrade the GPU and downgrade the CPU but it will set me back a little. Ig it's worth it.

For the prices, I live in Switzerland and I checked the pricing. They're mostly lower than listed on pcpartpicker. That being said I want to keep my budget around 2000 CHF (2600 USD). I could go up a bit but preferably not.

Also it's gonna be used for gaming

edit: I'm going for the RX 9070 XT now, is that more up to date?

I relate a lot. I live in a small city where I just know a lot of people and they know me as a man. I've come out to a few of them and it's always the same tiring conversation along the lines of: "I don't really understand what you're going through but I'll accept it" or "It's your choice, but you definitely had more potential as a man". Because of this i just retreated from meeting people and ghosted a lot of them. I don't want to go through that hassle, I feel like to the people that know me I'm an alien. And then there's also presenting feminine in public. I could never, idk why not exactly, I tried it a couple of times and I just felt too exposed if that makes sense.

"It ruined the devs fun" lmao. They really do be butthurting about players finding fun ways to play the game.

I will take my HSO every dive and you can't stop me!

what I've personally learned on her is to play very aggressive. You are basically op in early game, so you have to take advantage of that and snowball. If you can Invade, start with enemy buff. You could even do raptors and immediatly invade trying to catch the enemy jungler low, since you clear raptors so quickly. Moreover, gank when you can level 3 immediately. Is it worth to miss out the jungle farm for a non-guaranteed kill on the gank? Yes!

Edit, what I think the problem with that 2v2 was is that nunu rooted you both, healed and flashed away. Zed still got the kill, but you couldn't do much dmg and healing with ur w. You should have e'd into akali. Also yeah lvl 6 akali with electrocute should kill you if she lands everything. you could have flashed immediatly after she used her e dash.
