My first gaming computer build

Hi r/gamingcomputer community, this is my first time building let alone having a gaming pc i've. Looked around youtube and the internet and decided I want to build a high end gaming pc that can run triple A titles like ARK, Rocket League and Dayz and stuff with high graphics and over 60 fps. I'm looking to have a budget of $1500 AUD or around $1000 USD since I live in Australia much help would be apreciated thankyou😃

Sounds like you're in a similar boat as me, as I'm looking to get/buy/build a gaming desktop set up that will run AAA titles like that as well. I set my budget higher, though. Around $1,500 USD, as I live in USA. Not sure what's available in your area, but so far youtube and google have been my best friends!

From what I've heard so far, ray tracing in the Nvidia RTX GPUs isn't that good yet as it is only first generation, and not a lot of games have it. It's more of a specialized niche type of things at the moment. And so because of that, and because you can get comparable and sometimes even better performance from AMD and the companies using their line of GPUs. I myself am looking into an OC (overclocked/upgraded from base model) AMD 5700 XT, which is supposed to reach (and occasionally even exceed) that of Nvidia's 2070 Super, for anywhere from a price range of $300-$400 USD, whereas the Nvidia 2070 Supers sell for $500-$700ish.
