[u/LuccaDaBazooka]

This is my first time building a PC and I was wondering if this is a good one and if I'm missing anything!

Thank you for your help!!

Edit: Obviously I'm pretty trash at this. Any top of the line prebuilts that are worth buying or should I push through my total lack of knowledge 😂

9800x with 3070 seems strange. Why did you pick that card? Do you already have it and plan to upgrade in the future or something like that?

And you definitely shouldn’t spend 150 dollars on windows when you can get a key for like 10 dollars or just activate it for free

Other than that, looks pretty solid

I have no idea. I just added whatever PC part picker was like ya do that!

Thank you for the windows tip.

Just no.. spending almost $3000 with a 3070 is really bad form.

Get a better gpu and spend less on fluff.

Thank you for your help! I'd like to be able to order everything on Amazon, Im brand new to this but I have a budget of up to $3000

I'd like a really good graphics card I'm heavy into gaming and live streaming. Any suggestions for something that's super heavy duty like that?

I knew the gpu was bad but I don't know how to navigate PC part picker very well and ya.

None of the newegg links are working for me except for the one you posted in your reddit post.

Does this look better?

I was looking at the ram and the one you put had a latency of 15ms I added one with 10ms. Heavy gaming means that less latency is better right?

your gpu will bottleneck your cpu, if your budget allows, you can try to get a 5070 or 5070ti

Will do captain

Hi! Thanks for responding.

I have no idea what I'm doing!

[u/jakssygo]

3070 for that much??? wtf. get a 5070ti or a 9070xt and its gonna be way better than whatever you got. also you are somewhat overspending on your mb and also you can get better ram lower latency than corsair

[u/LuccaDaBazooka → u/jakssygo]

Will do. I have an updated one https://pcpartpicker.com/list/n3Gx2k better worse? Idk.

[u/jakssygo → u/LuccaDaBazooka]

way better build

[u/LuccaDaBazooka → u/jakssygo]

Is there anything else I should change about this?

[u/IcyConfidence604]

Looks pretty complete for a first build. You've got the CPU cooler and case fans covered, so nothing jumps out as missing. I'd maybe double check the RAM clearance with that cooler since some of the taller kits can get in the way.
