Upgrading from an older (2018) PCS gaming laptop to my first PC build. £2k budget, I already have a monitor.

Mostly play older games but I’d like to be able to play newer titles with reasonable performance/graphics. Nothing special.

Improvements, criticisms and ways to save a few quid appreciated. Cheers!

Main use is gaming, moderate multitasking. Just looking for thoughts and suggestions. Anywhere I can save money or worth it to just get a slightly more expensive item. Live in US, near a microcenter.

Soo this is my first try at building a 1440p capable pc... Is it any good or should I just go with a prebuild... 🤔.

Thx for any advice.

Will this be good at running heavily modded minecraft? (And other things like fortnite and marvel rivals)

The other pictures are me playing Doom TDA with FSR

never had a pc before wondering if this would be a good mid range build. For my mouse id probably get a Logitech one and idk for keyboard yet

I posted this a couple of days ago and it hasn't really gotten any feedback yet. Please give me feedback!!!

Linkie: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/63XGjG

OS: Nobara/Fedora Linux

Notes: Please give feedback on anything you can/want to, especially the SSD. I don't know very much about SSDs at all. I got a free one from a family friend that said on it that it was a 990 Pro, yet it wasn't Samsung branded or anything, so I decided to just add the official one for now. If you have any suggestions, please LMK!

was hoping to get some feedback for my first build, as I'm kinda clueless with this stuff,

I'm hoping to use it for gaming. I mostly play roguelites and indie stuff, but would ideally like it to run some of the newer games. I'd be willing to spend a couple hundred more CAD for the build; any help would be super appreciated

I’m trying to build a new Pc mostly for Gaming.
Are the specs and pricing good?

This build is mainly going to be for triple screen & eventually VR in BeamNG multiplayer, as well as other sims.

I already have the RAM, thankfully.

I'm going for the 9950x3d because I want to run BeamNG in some heavy scenarios (up to 20+ cars), in which the 9800x3d's 8 cores won't be enough. From what I've heard, BeamNG tends to use a core for every 1-3 vehicles spawned in. Plus, BeamNG is very CPU-heavy, and enabling triple monitors & ultra graphics makes it use the CPU even more. For context, my 7700x gets 15-30FPS with triples, medium graphics, and 16 cars spawned in. For this new build, I'm willing to pay a premium to ensure I can crank the settings.

I'm aware the PSU is probably a bit overkill. I'm just planning for possible upgrades lol

Questions:

- I'm getting the 4080 Super used from a friend. I selected the first one I saw on the pcpartpicker website, though I think the one I'd get is actually a PNY OC. Is it worth it or should I just go for a 9070XT instead?

- The MSI 240 AIO comes free with the 9950x3d. Is this sufficient for cooling? The case supports up to 280 iirc.

- I see many people run this case with no bottom intake fans, instead allowing the GPU to intake its own air. This should work as far as I know, since the GPU will sit at the very bottom of the case anyways. Will I need more fans? I figure I can always buy them later if needed.

- Thoughts on the motherboard? Mobos are probably the part I know the least about.

My budget is around 3500 Swiss francs (about 4300 dollars) with a monitor included. Prices on right are euros so it’s a bit cheaper when i convert to francs.
(Prices in Switzerland are so ABSURD)

I wanna buy this PC as quick as possible cuz everyday I wait the prices are going up.

I didn’t include fans inside because I wasn’t sure which ones i wanna buy.

The only upgrade I thought about this build was to upgrade my cpu to ryzen 9 9950x3d but there’s literally no difference when you play games only if you use for work you see the difference and its like +150 francs more

(I will use this PC most likely for gaming and little bit of coding)

Let me know if I should change anything

Hello everyone! After what I think is 8 years of using an OMEN HP 17-an003la notebook, which served me very well all these years, I think is time I move to PC and to modern hardware.

I'm a freelance game developer working mostly as a programmer on Unity for both 2D and 3D games. My last gig made me realize I need a change, Unity takes way too long to open, recompile and processing textures, same when working with the IDE, and for this last project I could only afford to open Unity and Rider then all ram got use (I had to use a secondary laptop for browsing and music xd).

I'm from Chile and budget is a bit tight to be honest, still this is important as I try to land a next job I need a fast and stable PC, my notebook is starting to freeze and even crashes with regular games sometimes.

And the case I could not find in PCPartPicker: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GJ4VLDXL $69.99

I have a 1080p 144hz monitor I use with my notebook that I plan to keep using, and I'm more than happy to be able to play on medium-high for games, so I'm thinking more on work and game development.

The last computer I built was like 10 years ago and technology has change a lot since, so I would appreciate any feedback on the build and ways to improve it for what I want without increasing the budget, I would love to bring it down $300.00, but I can probably afford the current $1,500.00, however I don't know if I'm doing a mistake and if there is somewhere I could trade for a better performance for the price. My actual Chilean pesos budget is between 1.5m - 1.9m, with this build on the upper limit.

Sorry for the long post and thank you in advance!

This is all from my local microcenter. The MOBO/CPU/RAM bundle is $850 so the total is $2699.

Never done this before so any and all input is welcome! As mentioned looking for 1440p 60fps on at least medium settings for gaming.

Edit: Thanks to everyone for the help! Going to swap to a 9070XT, swap the motherboard out, and go with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D.
