My 2nd build ever and first time building on my own. I was happier than a pig in mud when it power on and posted on the first attempt.
My build (nothing fancy, just for some 1080p gaming):
- AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
- 32 GB G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5
- ASRock AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT
- Gigabyte B650 X AV V2 Motherboard
- CoolMaster Master Liquid 240L Core ARGB
- Cosair RM850e Power Supply (850W, Gold)
- Cosair 3500X Mid Tower Case
- 2TB PNY XLR8 NVMe Gen4 M.2 Drive*
*Edited: Forgot to add the storage.
How much did this run you OP? I have pretty much the same setup but 3 gens ago
5600xt
Ryzen 5 3600
32g ram
B450 mboard
Cost me ~1000 USD at the time
This build cost me just shy of $1300 at Micro Center. You could find parts for cheaper elsewhere and change the storage, cooling, and case for more savings
Is Micro Center not as competitive as it used to be? I have one near me and I’ve always liked it but with the build I’m considering it seems like almost every part is cheaper on Amazon
Micro centre has the advantage of not having to live with the shame of supporting amazon
Unfortunately i dont know. I only recently moved to an area with a Micro Center.
I had a very similar setup but just upgraded to a 5070 while keeping the rest the same (and overclocking the 3600) and still “bottlenecked” by the GPU the vast majority of the time. But also getting like 60fps native in cyperpunk at max settings 1440p (and well above 144fps with frame gen)
