New to PC building, need help on getting the right parts for a decent priced PC.

please give me feedback on which parts I overspend/underspend and suggest which parts I can use to replace them

looking to spend no higher than £1400

[quasi oxide]

It would help if you could say what you'll be using it for 🙂

[mighty hollow]

oh apologies

For gaming and school works

Mainly gaming but yeah

@quasi oxide

Im new to building PC so im sorry if the build is rlly bad

[quasi oxide]

You dont need to tag people to help (especially if they are already in the thread)
I'm sure a few will be able to help, I'm not that good at speccing machines to shall leave to people more in the know

[mighty hollow]

Ok thanks

[turbid cargo]

You’re going very high on aesthetics which will be affecting performance, is that something you’re happy with? I reckon we can still get you a pretty build with better performance!

[mighty hollow]

No not really, can the costs still go down but keeping the same performance?

Which parts can i replace etc?

[turbid cargo]

Has an amazing spec then saw that there was a monitor in there, dangit 😂

@mighty hollow If you're happy to make a £30 or so stretch then this'd be a fantastic system : https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/bS2EBkjFvN/

Higher airflow case
8 core CPU instead of 6
Better motherboard for better future upgradability (5800X3D in a few years)
6700XT which is faster than a 3060TI (which is about 25% faster than a plain 60) in terms of raw performance and has a boat load of VRAM
dedicated 250GB boot SSD then 1TB for all your games
Ample cooling from the much cheaper tower cooler
Far higher quality PSU, again good for future upgrades
Bin the anti virus
grab the silver warranty

Pick up this monitor (I have it and am very happy, it's a decent budget 1440p unit) and you're off to the races!

would an intel cpu and nvidia gpu would be a better choice in terms of performance and price or nah?

also is the wireless network card necessary?

[quasi oxide]

If you want to connect wirelessly yes, if you'll be using an ethernet connection then no

[mighty hollow]

I think 3060 is a far cheaper option but r they really that far apart from each other in terms of performance?

like £60 less

also its bc i dont like radeon lol, i'd prefer nvidia software

[wary lion]

There is around a 20 frame difference between the regular 3060 and the 6700xt, i'd agree with Junior in getting the 6700xt. I also preferred Nvidia software but I am moving over to AMD software due to the frame difference shown here.

[mighty hollow]

oh ok that graph rlly helped

[mighty hollow]

would a higher frequency ram benefit for the cpu?

like the 3600mhz

[wary lion]

Glad it helped

[turbid cargo]

Can go for 3600 if it’s a sensible step up in price. If it’s £10 or so, sure. If it’s £50 (which I noticed it was the other day) then no, I wouldn’t go for it

[mighty hollow]

What's the highest GPU i can go for without bottlenecking it with a Ryzen 7 5700X?

[wary lion]

What is your max budget?

[mighty hollow]

No i mean like for future investments

the limitation of my cpu

[mighty hollow]

Its about £12 for the normal vengenace 3600 and £26 for the rgb

so i might aswell

[wary lion]

I believe the 4070ti is a good match for the Ryzen 7 5700x

[mighty hollow]

that wont bottleneck?

[wary lion]

It won't

[mighty hollow]

ok fe

ty

[turbid cargo]

12 is probably worth it

[mighty hollow]

yep

[turbid cargo]

Wouldn't call it a bottleneck, certainly wouldn't go higher than that tho

[mighty hollow]

Yeah true

[mighty hollow]

Whats the difference between the 750W RMe and RMx?

about 10 pound difference

[turbid cargo]

RME is an updated version of the RM, so the RMx should be better

[mighty hollow]

worth it or nah?
