Need Help Choosing Parts

2tool

It has been a while since I last built a PC, last time was back in 2016. It's finally time for an upgrade !

I want a PC for 1440p (possibly 4k and VR in the future) gaming and to be able to play upcoming titles such as Dying Light 2, Back 4 Blood, New World, and Atomic Heart to name a few.

I was thinking of going with these parts: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=6c788e07-e258-4557-922c-0d0d60e404dc

What do you think?

I was also considering a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU, should I stick with the 3900X or is the 5900X a better choice?

Greetings, what was your intended budget for the build?

2tool

my budget is $3k (peripherals not included) but am willing to go over up to $3.5k

Ian

Did you plan on using this PC for any sort of editing/streaming or just mainly for gaming?

2tool

mainly for gaming

Ian

I don't see any issues, you would do just fine with either processor. If it's mainly just for gaming the 3900X is absolutely fine, if you had interests in any sort of rendering/streaming from 1 PC, then I would recommend the 5900X.

awesome ! guess i'll go with the 3900X then. thanks for taking a look at my parts ! 😀
