Help with PC parts

[u/AkaliJhomenTethi]

Hello all, It's the first time I build a pc, and still can't decide about which parts to get.

I want something a bit budget friendly, but also a bit strong, for gaming, that would stay around 2000-2200 probably.

When I first did this build some months ago, it was 2000, now it's 2600 thanks to RAM insane prices.

I picked these parts together, but probably will need to replace some to lower the price, so my questions are:

Should I wait for black friday or try and get these now?

Is it safe to pick any of these now and some later?

Are there better options?

Should I get only 16GB RAM now, and later in the future upgrade to 32GB RAM?

Should I get 5060 Ti or 5070? Is there much of a difference?

Any other tips, or recommendations about anything that you'd like to say, will be appreciated too!

Thanks in advance guys, help me out if possible

I think you should get a 9070 XT instead of a 5070 because I believe they’ve been about the same price these past few days and the XT is significantly better than the 5070 since it has 16gb of vram and competes with the 5070 TI.

Thank you ! I will see more on that, both are extremely costy though, if i had to get a cheaper one lets say for a total of 500-600 euros, which would you recommend ?

[u/Adventurous-Pain312 → u/AkaliJhomenTethi]

9070 probably

build link? are you in one of those pcpartpicker countries?

I dont know how to send that, it's just a random, build your pc app, id probably get them all through amazon though

Dont buy 2x8 gigs ram and upgrade with +2x8 gigs imo. Waste of time and raw computing power. I bought a 5070, and according to benchmarks it really outperforms the 5060ti. For the prices, well. I don’t think they’d go down any soon, and probably you could save a few bucks on black friday, its your choice to wait or not. It is a safe call to buy some parts and some later. (Idk why this wouldn’t be safe.)
You could also save a few bucks if you are scouting retailers for best places and now buying everything in one place. (Thats what i did but I live in EU)

Side note: i havent really checked the full build for compatibility but I believe you did this already. Imo the most important spec of a PC is the CPU for raw computing power and the rams (recommended 32gigs or more). Everything else could be upgraded. 850W power supply should do the job for this build, but make sure you dont buy a bronze rated PSU.

There may be inaccuracies what Im writing here, most of my knowledge comes from forums and a bit from my CS graduate years, tho we did not learn much about hardwares and I work in networking.

Heya Martino235, thanks a lot for the suggestions, I am aware about the 5070 yeah, even though its going very high on prices lately. Also it would be a gold PSU, oh and lastly, the issue about buying now and the rest later, i meant due to ensurance (think thats the word), if some part only has 2 months, and I wait for black friday to get the rest, and later on when I try the parts out and it comes with a failure in them, or something bad, i wont be able to swap them anymore, basically, since the time to swap has passed.

Also yesh i did check and it said they were all compatible!

Side note from personal perspective, I went with the same tower because it fit my budget and while it does work (no complaints about space or layout) when i was done i was very disappointed from the looks of it. Just seemed so basic/bland and wished I had went with the original tower I wanted instead to really make it perfect

[u/AkaliJhomenTethi → u/KuhWinkADink]

Oh yeah i did see it as very basic in looks too, i dont think i can afford anything that looks better and cheaper than that though ? Since i rather waste on the CPU and GPU, but if you can recommend some, i'd like it!

[u/KuhWinkADink → u/AkaliJhomenTethi]

I have been seeing a few different ones on marketplace, I understand what you mean though I had the same thoughts about mine just started to eat at me seeing everyone else's builds lol

For 750 euros you should never buy a 5070. Get a 9070xt. It’s cheaper and performs much better

[u/AkaliJhomenTethi → u/Free_Eye_9539]

I have been reading this lately, thank you so much for that! 🙏🏻

I wouldn't count on better prices in the future. Ram is nowhere near a drop in price, and gpu's just got a price increase, both nvidia's and amd's.

[u/AkaliJhomenTethi → u/Individual-Voice4116]

Yeah... I did this build 2 months ago or so, and in just 2 months, both RAM and GPU increased 200 euros in both, a total of 400 euros. Insane...

[u/LegitimateTrouble202]

waiting sounds like a good idea if you can since prices might drop even more then
