Hi there, new to the pc gaming community and looking through each guide I have an idea of what I should get. Then again, since I know nothing about this I'm wondering if what I've selected is okay? Or should I switch out some things for something else.

cpu - AMD - Ryzen 9 3900X Matisse 3.8GHz 12-Core AM4 Boxed Processor with Wraith Prism Cooler

motherboard - ASUS - X570 TUF Gaming Plus (WIFI) AMD AM4 ATX Motherboard

ram - G.Skill - Ripjaws V 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-3600 PC4-28800 CL16 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit F4-3600C16D-32GVKC - Black

case - Fractal Design - Meshify S2 Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case - Black

Aaaaaaaand that's as far as I got before I got in over my head. I don't need a monitor, mouse, or keyboard. So if someone could help me fill out everything else I'm obviously missing, it would be much appreciated.

Not sure if it's required but the core games I play are dead by daylight, tomb raider, halo, and call of duty.

I'd like to keep the price under 2000$

Thank you !

Hello @R_P and thanks for posting on the Microcenter Community Forum Discussion. What you started out with is good.

Now you just need to look at storage, like a NVme m.2 SSD. Maybe go with a 1 tb or 2 tb SSD depending on how many games of data you plan to store. You can always look at getting a 2ndary drive as well to be your main storage drive and you NVME would be just your windows C: drive.

You'll need a power supply. Look at 700 watt PSU or higher depending on which Graphic card you choose to go with. A 750 watt psu may suffice as well.

For graphic cards, go with the RX 6800 or RTX 3060, 3070, or 3080 GPUs. And last you'll need the Operating System, windows.

Below is a Gaming pc build link that gives you ideas on other parts that can go with what you've already started off with.

Good luck.
