This will be my first time building a pc, I asked on reddit and a guy gave me a hand and i have about a $1100-$1400 price range, although i would like to stay in the $1100-$1200, he gave me this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wzttjH, they said this would be good for 1440p gaming on ultra, but before i could ask them any questions their account got sus, so ive resorted to coming here and need help.

Is this a good starter PC? is is upgradable or would i need to make a new build entirely?

Is it good for streaming and gaming at the same time comfortably? playing games such as R6, CSGO2, Valorant and Fortnite sometimes, Apex, etc.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cN7Yn6 I made a pc part picker list too and they clowned on it, which i dont mind in the end because I've never build a pc and i have very little youtube knowledge of PCs so i had no idea what i was doing at all. (feel free to clown on it, as again i have very little knowledge/experience about computers and have resorted on yall for help.

Ex. On my list I had a Ryzen 7 7700 and a 7800XT, and on their list as you can see has a Ryzen 5 and RX 7900 GRE. My friend suggested i go with the Ryzen 7 7700 and a 7800XT since i want to try and be able to play the games listed at high 100-mid/low 200 fps and stream, would i still be able to do the same with the Ryzen 5 and RX 7900 GRE or would the switch be reasonable? From mine to theirs or vise versa. My final question is what are the differences between the XT's and the RX's? dont they both come from the AMD family? Just needing clarification so i can have a better understanding at what are the differences.

Also I need basically a full setup, so chairs, and desks would be appreciated as ill probably start to purchase them as time goes on, and is there an equivalent to the G203? I love the mouse but i hate dealing with the buttons getting stuck and any gaming headphone recs? I currently have the Arctis 7(around 2-3 years old now) and want to look into something better.

also, if you have an office desk and chair, that's perfect to start out with, you dont need crazy stuff, g203 issues are probably just cleaning issues, and the arctis 7s are still amazing

storm rover
#

from both of the lists which one would you recommend?

tepid kettle
#

id recommend mine, as it has the higher power cpu (however more expensive), you can still tweak it to your liking. i have a personal issue with radeons, so i picked a nvidia card, but everything should run similar enough from what ive heard

And i also just moved into a new house so i dont have either, which is why im asking for suggestions if you have any, g203 is my daily and i dont doubt it, i barely clean it and have had it for around 3 years, the arctis 7s are amazing but my audio just doesnt feel the same anymore, it feels like all the audio is coming from one general direction, i dont know how to explain it like in games like its on mono instead of stereo if that makes sense?

#

that might be an age issue then

#

earcups have probably worn out

#

had that issue with my 5s

#

also, to answer one of your original questions, RX is just the prefix, it's like nvidia's GT/GTX/RTX, its the letters after that matter (SUPER, Ti, XT, XTX are all examples)

like with his suggestion that you revised, do you think id be able to stream and run games smoothly at the same time like average decent or good fps or would i be better off with mine that you heavily revised?

his will get you decent everything, mine will last you a bit longer between upgrades

#

its really up to you

#

tbf you could also go used and get a higher-tier card for cheaper

#

like a 3080 instead of a 3070

storm rover
#

and a monitor, do you have any suggestions?

tepid kettle
#

oh youre starting from SCRATCH

storm rover
#

yes

#

BIG

#

SCRATCH

#

i did say in my post

#

i am a noob

#

this pc i have was a prebuilt from before covid

#

so im really lookign to upgrade

tepid kettle
#

idk, i have a 60hz acer whatever. im not the best at monitors, i'll probably be asking about them soon myself lmao

#

as for the headphones, try buying new earcups first

storm rover
#

because when i want to play valorant with my friends im literally running like 60-80fps sometimes 30 or less with a lot of screen clutter, vfx, and animations of abilities

#

OW

#

csgo
