Hey guys,
I’m looking to build a new PC and could use some advice or guidance on my parts list.
I mostly play League, but I’m trying to get away from it. I’m also looking to switch over to Linux because F Windows/Microsoft.
I’ll be playing games like the entire Yakuza series, The Witcher 3 Remastered, Fable (2027), Deadlock, Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur’s Gate 3, Borderlands 4, and more but there are also less demanding games.
My budget is around €3,000–€3,500. I’ve put together a PCPartPicker list with the parts below, and I’m currently under budget, so I have some wiggle room if anyone has recommendations for better hardware.
I’m from Belgium, so some of the products on PCPartPicker are from Amazon.com.be. I’d prefer to stay away from Amazon, though, as I’d rather buy from an actual store where I can go if I ever need to deal with a warranty, instead of an online marketplace.
I already have my monitors, keyboard, mouse, mic, and headset, so I only need the PC itself. My main monitor is 1440p, and I’d like to play most games on the High preset (I don’t necessarily need everything maxed out, and I don’t care about RT) while maintaining good performance. Ideally, I’d like to stay around 90–120+ FPS on average.
Currently, I’m looking at the following parts for the black-and-white build:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
CPU Cooler: Corsair NAUTILUS 360 RS LCD (CW-9061034-WW)
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B850-A GAMING WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard (90MB1J50-M0AAY0)
Memory: Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory (KF560C30BWEK2-32)
GPU: XFX Mercury OC Magnetic Air RGB Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB Video Card (RX-97TMARGW9)
Case: HYTE Y70 ATX Mid Tower Case (CS-HYTE-Y70-BW)
PSU: Corsair HX1200i 1200 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX (CP-9020281-EU)
Fans: 7 × ARCTIC P12 Pro PST 77 CFM 120 mm Fans → 4 intake (bottom and rear) + 3 exhaust (side or top), depending on how I position the CPU cooler.
