This second version, around $1500, looks great.
This second version, around $1500, looks great.
Approximate Purchase Date:
In the next week or two
Budget Range:
~1500 (after tax)
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Mostly gaming, watching movies and tv shows, no video editing, rendering, streaming or anything like that. I value stability and reliability a lot, my current pc has giving me a handful of headaches over the last 5½ years, and I'd like to avoid that as much as possible. I like a quiet build, especially at idle.
Are you buying a monitor:
No
Do you need to buy OS:
No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:
Proshop.dk (Danish site)
Location:
Denmark
Parts Preferences:
Only ever had Intel and Nvidia, I'm open to AMD as long as there are no issues of stability.
Overclocking:
No
SLI or Crossfire:
No
Your Monitor Resolution:
1080p, but
might
get a 1440p in the future.
Additional Comments:
I'm hoping to keep this PC for 5+ years without any new parts, I currently have a 1080p monitor, but I
might
get a 1440p in the future. I'd like to be able to get 120+ FPS in less intense games (WoW, Path of Exile), 60+ in games like Baldur's Gate 3. I'd like to be able to run at minimum medium settings 5+ years from now.
What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?
~$1500 (after tax) The pcpartpicker list below comes out to around $1430 after tax (converted from DKK)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading:
Mine is 5½ years old now, and has been giving me trouble these past few months, so I figured I might as well upgrade, been thinking about doing it soon anyway.

CPU & Motherboard:
B760 because I will not be overclocking, K CPU because I can't find a non-K.
CPU Cooler:
I don't know if it's too much, I just want it to be kind of quiet.
RAM:
32GB just so I don't need to replace it or buy additional down the line. I've heard conflicting things about DDR5 when it comes to stability and reliability, would DDR4 be "safer"? (only planning on having 2 sticks)
Storage:
SSD is a month old, HDD's work fine, no need for new ones.
GPU:
Again no overclocking, but would like it to be somewhat quiet. Went with the Sapphire for now, there is also an
ASRock
with 3 fans, but it's $70 more, probably not worth it (though I can afford it).
Case:
I looked at a few other cases, but I like the look of this one and the temp & noise performance I saw in reviews.
PSU:
As far as I can tell this model of be quiet! PSU is a good one, 750W might be more than I need, but it's only $10 more than the 650W.
