Help Building a Set up

Can Anybody Help me find pieces for a pc that can run 120HZ and two supporting monitors to go with it?

What's your budget? Where are you based?

[obsidian raft]

East coastAmerica, and about 800 dollars

[robust cloak]

So, what are you wanting to do with it? $800 for a whole PC and two monitors is kinda tight but you can make it work depending on what you wanna use it for.

[obsidian raft]

Oh sorry that wasn’t including the monitors. Mainly for work school, gaming and using my drawing tablet

So 800 dollars solely on the pc

[robust cloak]

Ohhhh, I got you. Any specific store you wanna shop at?

[obsidian raft]

I was was thinking of ordering it online

[robust cloak]

I'd go with something like

4060TI ($379)
Ryzen 5 5600 ($100)
B550 Mobo ($100)
16GB RAM ($49)
EVGA 650W PSU ($60)
ATX Case ($40-50)
1TB SSD ($62)

Total Cost; $789

=======

That's all from Walmart and should get you around 144FPS at respectable settings. If you go to places like Amazon, etc you can get parts for even cheaper probably.

That's if you skimp out on aesthetics, but I've always been a performance person first when it comes to a PC.

It gives you a clear upgrade path for CPU too. It won't be the newest AM5 platform, but it'll hold up for sure.

This isn't an absolute checklist, like I said you can absolutely find stuff for cheaper. Maybe even some more budget towards a 4070 or a 5700x which will give you two more cores.

===========

I've omitted the SSD and Mobo names because any Mobo would do you well, and SSD too if you shop for name brands like Crucial, WD, etc.

a 4060ti ?? in 2024

the 4060ti was the worst release of 2023 I mean you cant recommend the card it's bad for the price

[robust cloak]

Yeah, still a respectable card for the price point imo. 4070 costs 500.

Unless you go with a 3070 or AMD brand if you can find it for cheaper.

[robust cloak]

I mean they're always on sale which is why I recommended it for the price point.

[marble cosmos]

it's not respectable for the price point

Only 8GB of VRAM is bad

It can't handle any 1440p title at high settings without bottleneck from the VRAM

[robust cloak]

What would you put in there? Cause you don't wanna spend $500 on a 4070 and then spend $300 on the rest of it

I mean you can go older, maybe a 3060 or 3070 if you can find them cheap.

[robust cloak]

I'm not familiar with AMDs game but at $800 are you really getting 1440P gaming performance? (Genuinely asking, I don't see how)

[marble cosmos]

yes you are

[robust cloak]

What card? I mean, only way I see it happening is if you find a 3070 on offer for like $400

[marble cosmos]

nvidia is not the whole word

and secondly the 3070 isn't good for 1440p anymore

[marble cosmos]

the 3070 GPU itself is much more powerful than the 4060ti but the same issue is raised, 8GB of vram

i'm compiling a parts list

[robust cloak]

Idk, buddy got $800. AMD doesn't really...they have the 7700XT but it's also $50-70 more.

You can get a crappier CPU but then it'll just become a CPU bottleneck instead.

[marble cosmos]

he said his budget is 800 dollars ?

[marble cosmos]

he did

[marble cosmos]

notable improvements:
5600X was cheaper than the 5600
32GB DDR4
RX 7700XT
semi modular psu

[robust cloak]

Yeah I mean, if you can spend the extra $50 I'd go for the 7700XT. I was going under the assumption the budget was a hard cap.
