5600x 3060 ti build

[Zaparc]

Hi,

This will be used for gaming at 1440p. I was initially going to get the 4000D airflow case but PC part picker said the mobo didn't have sufficient type-c headers for the front ports or something. How does the build look?

Thanks

Could possibly tweak it a little, depending on budget

It's pretty solid already. Depending on what you want to spend there's a couple of improvements we can make but nothing drastic.

An almost free upgrade, would be to split your m.2 to a 500gb 970 and a 1TB pcs for your games.

That's along the lines i was thinking

I’d also query the amount of RAM needed. What kind of games are you going to be playing, @Zaparc?

Could you perhaps explain the reasoning for this, based on what he/she already has, to me ?

I'm not disagreeing or anything, I'm a noob to PC building.

Basically you put your OS on a really fast drive to speed up loading, then your games on another fast drive so they also load fast, but if you ever have to clean install the OS, you don't have tto download all your games again

Hi guys,

Thanks for the responses. The budget is 1500 so I'm already slightly over but that's fine (can't go any higher tho). I tend to play MMOs and 4X strategy games.

Cheers
