Hi, I was looking to build a 1440p gaming rig for $1100 but I’m kinda stuck on what parts to pick after having drafted out a CPU, GPU, and case, so I was hoping I'd be able to get some help on this subreddit.
Here are the parts I’ve picked out so far. Please note that these are all subject to change (really just ideas I'm floating out here so feel free to make better suggestions)
CPU AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 3.9 GHz 6-Core Processor
GPU ONIX LUMI OC Arc B580 12 GB Video Card
Case Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 Flow ATX Mid Tower Case
Ok, and here's the template questions I think you'd call them
New build or upgrade?
New build
Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
None
PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Discord, web browsing, and AAA gaming (God of War Ragnarök, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077, etc.) Some emulation also, Dolphin emulator for example.
Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)
United States, Micro Center is nearby.
Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
One 120Hz 27 inch 1440p monitor, ideally although not necessarily with FreeSync/G-Sync features.
Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
1000 USD without taxes, 1100 USD with.
WiFi or wired connection?
Wired.
Size/noise constraints?
Noise should be kept on the quieter side. As for size, Micro-ATX would be cool for aesthetic purposes but if any of these other requirements conflict with that then bigger components will always work too.
Color/lighting preferences?
Same with color, white with RGB would be nice but not if it makes the build noticeably worse or over budget.
Any other specific needs?
It'd be good if the build was a few years future-proof.
That'll be all, thanks.
