$2000 Gaming PC 1440p 144Hz

[skysurfer]

Hi Everyone,

Can I please get a recommendation for a PC that can support FPS games and Red Dead Redemption in High settings on 27" 1440p 144hz? Budget of $2000. Do not require rams, peripherals or windows 10.

Mobo+CPU – Would like to try AMD. Require a 4 ram slot mobo.
GPU – Would like a 3070.
Memory – I have a HyperX 3200Mhz 8GBx4 Kit
SSD/NVME M.2 – ?
HDD Storage – ?
Case: ?
PSU: ?

Thanks in advance!

Cpu+mobo: 5600x + b550m aorus elite
Ssd: 500gb ssd crucial mx500
Gpu: rtx 3080 zotac/palit/gigabyte or 6800 xt
Psu: 650w seasonic psu
Casing: your pick

Pcthemes or tradepac.

3070 can't really go 1440p 144fps. 3080 is what you should aim. My rtx 3070 can only hit 72fps for rdr2 mixed settings.

5600x is capable of hitting 144fps?

Thanks for the quick reply. Should I increase my budget for a 3700X CPU and a 750W PSU? If so, what do you reckon I should go for? and I will need a B550 non-M for the appropriate ram slots correct? Sorry im kinda new to PC building. Thanks for the help.

so far 5600x benchmark results for gaming is better than 3700x...

It is way better than 3700x for 1080p, but the boost in frames for 1440p gaming is not as significant... And you get a better cooler for 3700x

If you don't need any productivity and it's purely gaming, I think 3600 is still better for money if you are getting 3070... not much bottleneck on the cpu for 1440p gaming, or perhaps with the money saved can push the 3070 to 3080 or RX6800XT

3700x should cost the same as 5600x but a 5600x is a lot better for gaming. I just suggested the 3700x in case you can't get a 5600x. 5600x should take priority. I wouldn't suggest to get a 3600 too unless 2nd hand. The moment you buy it you're already a gen behind when the next gen is heaps better. I'm already running into slowdowns during multitasking using a 3600 too.

650w should be fine. 750w only if it doesn't exceed your budget.

Aorus elite M comes with 4 rams slots. Lesser sata ports though

just wondering, the b550m only lose out to b550 by the sata port that's all? can i connect 2 3.5" hdd to a b550m, with nvme gen 4 as primary OS?

There got 2 m.2 and 4 sata should be enough

Mobo+CPU : Ryzen 5600x + B550m Aorus Elite $636
GPU : Palit GeForce RTX™ 3080 Gaming Pro $1200
SSD : Crucial MX500 $89
PSU : Seasonic Focus 750W Gold $175
Memory : I have a HyperX 3200Mhz 8GBx4 Kit
Case : ?

Current Total : $2100 without case (not decided)

For comments on the above parts pls. Would the B550m Aorus Elite be a good choice for overclocking? (as i intend to). Any recommendation for a nice case ~$150? I will be able to stretch my budget to $2300.

 

[skrekro]

what kinds of design you like? tempered glass? or closed build. If you want to OC, get the Asrock steel legend instead for 30+ more.

the b550m aorus elite is one of the worst b550 boards in terms of vrm thermals, so i wouldnt recommend it for overclocking. the full atx b550 non m aorus elite is fine though. i agree with skrekro, the steel legend is, while not excellent, miles ahead in vrm performance. or u can pony up even more and get msi's b550m mortar, which is best matx board in this regard.

(skip to 15:09 for the results)

then again the 5600x is just a hexa core, so it wont stress the vrm too much.

case wise i would suggest the cooler master nr400. heard good things about it and gpu clearance seems adequate too.

No consideration on cpu cooler if want to OC?

May I know if you are using G-sync monitor?

Tempered glass would be nice. Ok I will change it to the steel legend.

NightRaven49, thanks for the recommendation of the CM NR400. However its too minimalist for my taste. Any other tempered glass case with a little more shape and flair?

Oh yes. and any Fan cooler to recommend?

 

[sacredrays]

5600x better for gaming over 3700x.

for 1440p 144hz gaming, need see graphics card also leh..

i think getting at least a tower cpu cooler to replace the stock cooler would be good to have too.

Lian Li PC-O11? Our fellow HWC builder.

Thermaltake Riing Quad? The brightest and most colourful RGB LED fan.
Turnoff? It's pricing is very high.
