Need Help Choosing Parts

christianbally

I put this parts list together and am looking for some advice. I don't really know too much about building a gaming PC but I definitely want water cooling and I still have a few hundred left in the budget to make the PC better any changes that you think I should make please share!! even though I said I have a few hundred left in the budget I would also like to save as much as possible. Thank You!!

Thanks for sharing your build. A couple of questions for you before I can make some recommendations. What are you planning to use this build to do? Also, what's your budget?

I plan to stream and play games such as cod/warzone on it, I play for hours in a day so I do plan to use it quite a lot, my budget would be up to 2,600 I don't mind spending more if needed.

Greetings @christianbally

Upgrade the CPU, it's anemic for your build overall. 3600X or 3700X would be what I would target.. Excellent choice on the RAM, with the 3600 CL16, it'll pair well with either of the CPU's I mentioned. I would double up on the NVME drives, instead of having an NVME and a SATA drive, for storage. You chose an AIO cooler for your CPU, but the GPU you have is meant for a custom loop. Are you planning to build a custom loop and if so, for your GPU only? You'll add $300-400 to you bill pretty easily doing a custom loop.
