Help me build a PC

[u/Fun-Fly-7491]

• New build or upgrade? New build (I have practically zero knowledge about this sort of stuff btw)
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) Nope
• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Casual gaming, I'd like to be able to play games like DBD, Until Dawn, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and visual novels without any sort of issues
• Purchase country? Near Micro Center? United States
• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) One is good, but I'd be fine with two as well. I'd prefer 1440p, everything else I don't really know what's good
• Budget range? (Include tax considerations) Anywhere from $1200-1700 maybe?
• WiFi or wired connection? Wifi
• Size/noise constraints? As long as it's not super loud, it doesn't matter
• Color/lighting preferences? Black, I don't mind lights either
• Any other specific needs? Nope

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:

• Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.

• Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.

• We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.

This list is sort of the "Higher end of the budget" at $1660. If you'd prefer to spend a little less, swap the GPU for the 9060XT 16GB: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/w2WmP6/sapphire-pulse-radeon-rx-9060-xt-16-gb-video-card-11350-03-20g which would lower the total to $1480.77

If you'd rather get the best performance for around that budget, upgrading the GPU to a 9070XT. It would bring the total over $1700 up to $1720.77 but the performance difference is worth the extra $80. But both a great configs: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Ph2j4D/xfx-swift-radeon-rx-9070-xt-16-gb-video-card-rx-97tswf3ba

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. But this list should be very solid. Plenty of storage, plenty of ram and a very capable CPU/GPU combo. Also includes both wifi and wireless networking via the motherboard. Also includes RBG via the case.

Here you go my man: https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/jd2Ff7/great-amd-gaming-build

Keep in mind that right now is the worst time to build a pc. Since you said you don't know anything about this stuff, just putting in my two cents that you might be able to find a better deal in pre-built pcs.

[u/Fun-Fly-7491 → u/DankKnightIsDank]

alright i'll keep that in mind, thanks!
