Need Help Choosing Parts
Zoko
✭
Hey everyone,
I'm putting together a build and need advice on making it more budget-friendly without sacrificing too much performance. I want to run League of Legends, Baldur’s Gate, Red Dead, Valo, Fortnite,i.e., at good settings while keeping costs as low as possible.
Here’s what I currently have in mind:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (part of a Micro Center bundle)
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 (included in the bundle)
- RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 32GB DDR5-6000 (included in the bundle)
- GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7600 Gaming Overclocked Triple Fan 8GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 Graphics Card
- Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 1TB NVMe SSD
- Case: Inland - X1 Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case - White
- PSU: PowerSpec - 750 Watt 80 Plus Gold ATX Fully Modular Power Supply
- CPU Cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Slim
I'm open to swapping out parts if there are better value options. My biggest priorities are:
- Keeping good 1080p/1440p gaming performance
- Ensuring everything fits properly and has decent airflow
- Avoiding overspending on things that don’t make a noticeable difference
I would love any recommendations on where I could save money without hurting performance too much. Thanks in advance for any help!
