Need advice for build.

rosebonbon

Hello everyone, I am looking to build my first gaming computer but I don't really know about computer parts, etc. I have a budget of $1500 that can go over a bit. I don't need any peripherals. I would like to know what build y'all recommends for 2020 that will last and fits under my budget. I mostly play League of Legend, Fortnite, CSGO, and some survival games.

Thank you!

Hello @rosebonbon! Welcome to the Community. 

First, I'd like to throw in a little shameless self-promotion by mentioning that I actually made a guide on choosing your parts. You can read part 1 here: https://community.microcenter.com/discussion/2580/how-to-choose-your-parts-part-1-the-processor#latest

I think it'd be worthwhile for you to read through what we've got so far as there's some good information that can help you understand which parts qualify into which categories and where their strengths are. There are six parts in total in the Help Choosing Parts category, with part 7 on the way. 

With that said, $1500 is a really flexible budget and the games you mentioned are also pretty light on requirement, so you'll definitely get some really good performance with that budget. I came up with this:

Windows is not included in the cost, but I think this is overall a strong build for the price you pay. This will run any game pretty much flawlessly, and in fact would really be overkill just for League of Legends, CSGO and Fortnite.

Your article is awesome, learn a lot of stuff reading it, I am looking forward to part 7. Thank you for your build proposition!

On your build recommendation, is it ok if I choose a Ryzen 7 or 9 and a lower graphics card such as the RTX 2070 ?

Of course! The 2070 will run pretty much any modern game extremely well and the titles you listed are pretty low on graphics requirements.

TSTony, on the build is it ok if I choose a Ryzen 9 and a lower graphics cards such as RTX 2070 super ?

Yes, that would be fine. The 2070 Super is still a great card and will run any game you throw at it.

The games you listed are lighter on graphics requirements so a 2070 Super is more than enough.
