@blissful garnet is there a colour preference?

Ewww no
Get the argb for $2 more
Or a different case

@blissful garnetalso what "work" related stuff is it?

Emails 😭

definitely means going over a 6700xt would be pointless for this build

6700xt does 1440p also, it's not 1080p only
native lagoon
6700xt does 1440p also, it's not 1080p only
I agree but if you’re doing 1440p I’d upgrade to a 7800xt

not worth it for when it's just sims and minecraft tbh, neither will take advantage of the gpu
this is where you can go lower gpu and a much better cpu with the 3d cache

You could just do a 7600 or a 5700xt lol

actually no, it's decent and they could get it in green
No it’s garbage

Honestly the work is gonna be emails and lots of text documents/spreadsheets. It's primarily low end gaming I'd just like the chance to upgrade down the future if she really takes to gaming more. (Also to have a backup in case mine goes down for some reason) as for graphics 1080p is good enough for what we are trying to accomplish

you dont need to spend more than 1000$ for what you are looking for
you could pick up a used rx 6800
for 300ish

the case is a "mint" green, the custom cables are replacements for the cables that come with the rm650 to match in with wanting green as the build theme
the fans being argb you can use the mobo software or signalrgb to set their colour to a pale green
the 6650xt you could replace with an rx7600 new or a second hand rx6700xt
peak kernel
you could pick up a used rx 6800
not really worth it when it's sims tbh, as that's going to be more cpu/ram dependent
and yes sims is definitely a game that'll love a 7800x3d
upbeat carbon
If you trying to use the full budget I'd do this
Pick up the RX 6800 used
This build could comfortably do 1440p
and that CPU is the best* for gaming
so 1080p CPU bound situations would be easy
peak kernel
despite not needing it they want to go liquid cooling, and also they want green for the case
also more chances of getting an rx 6700 xt for 300 or less secondhand
6800/6800xt won't be less than 400
cheapest 6700xt on ebay currenly
cheapest rx6800 without having it come from china/japan/south korea/ australia
same but for an rx6800xt

Weird

Ye that's a clean case

and like i said, it's more of a mint green for colour
peak kernel
It looks ugly imo lol
this is what you call ugly
languid cloud
Nah this is worse imo

Looks kinda okay. The color is fine js bad accents. Color on the vetroo is fucked
languid cloud
Nah the vetroo is good
Js me huh.
languid cloud
Colour on that is what makes it look good
How???!?!?!

How???!?!?!
it's not lime/neon green and lighting the room itself up with it's colour

Yep

mint green is a more subtle colour for a green

It also doesn't look like a bush from Fortnite

dude for the sims and minecraft literally anything newer than pascal and over 500 dollars TOTAL is super overkill

Tbh as long as it's on am5 platform for future proofing, can run some minecraft shaders I'm sure she will be thrilled
Most complex thing she'll be running are mods/shaders for mc
