Building a new computer costs about 1000 dollars?
Hey, I want to build a new pc but I have a hard time deciding on which parts to choose. The new pc will have some donor parts from my current pc. All information is listed below. I gratefully appreciate every reply. Approximate Purchase Date: My pc current pc was bulid in 2018. Current pc: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3JQh2V Budget Range/Location: My budget is around 1000$. Won't matter if it's a bit more or less. My location is Denmark. (won't mind buying from european stores) System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies, homework Are you buying a monitor: No Parts to Upgrade: From my current pc there is a few parts which I think I will reuse to save some money for the budget. The parts I will reuse are the following: HDD: Seagate barracuda st1000dm010 NVMe SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus MZ-V7S500BW 500 GB CPU cooler: Corsair H100i PRO RGB Not sure about reusing the cooler. It runs fine but it's still 7 years and counting, so might be wiser to change it. Below I have listed the new parts which i'm currently thinking the new pc would consist of but I would really appreciate some opions on the bulid or suggetions on what to change: Motherboard : Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2 Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard Was recommened by Techspot as the best entry option. GPU : RX 9060 XT 16 GB (PowerColor Radeon RX 9060 XT Reaper - 16GB GDDR6 RAM) or RX 7800 XT (PowerColor RX 7800 XT - 16 GB GDDR6 RAM) I can't really decied on which one to choose. The 9060 is about 100$ cheaper in my country. I know it's not as powerfull as the 7800 XT but who knows how big of an impact FSR4 will have on the performance for future games. CPU : AMD Ryzen 7600x RAM : G. SKill Flare X5 DDR5 - 6000 - 32 GB: 2 x 16 GB - CL36 I'm not so sure on the ram. Don't know if I even need 32 GB or what to go for while still staying the budget. PSU : Thermalright TG (Modular) 750W - 80 plus gold. The PSU is probably the part which i'm most unsure about. I don't really know that to go for. Seems like PSU's are quiet expensive in Denmark. Case : Phanteks XT Pro. I know it comes with out case fans but I will reuse from my current case (NZXT S340) PCPartPicker list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2PJ3XR I don't really have any part preferences. Do you need to buy OS: No (Free acces to Windows) Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Don't have any preferred websites but proshop.dk seems to have the best prices. Overclocking: No / Maybe Multiple GPUs: No Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080. I might want to upgrade to 1440p in the future if the pc can handle it. Additional Comments: Type of games im playing. Different racing games, FPS, Single player, multiplayer games. And of course GTA 6 when it's released at some point. I want the pc to able to handle GTA 6 with decent grapichs settings. Why Im Upgrading: My current pc is getting old. I still rely on a 1060 6GB and it's starting to struggle in newer games. Grapichs have to be set to low or maybe medium at most games. I'm begging to struggle with minor issues a lot more often. I think after 7 years it has done is job well and now it's time for an upgrade.
That psu will suffice just fine. You want DDR5-6000 CL30 for these AM5 cpu's if you intend on gaming seeing how games benefit from low latency RAM.
