I've always wanted a PC but never had the money to buy one. I finally saved up enough money, and I'm able to buy one! I'll give u guys my reasoning as to why chose some parts

For the CPU, I went with one of the best out there, and I know I’ll be able to use it for a long time. this is honestly the only part I wouldn’t change. For the GPU At first, I was thinking about getting the 9070 XT, but since the 5070 Ti isn’t much cheaper where I’m at, I figured I might as well go for it.

The CPU cooler was mostly a recommendation from a friend, and I haven’t seen anyone saying it’s bad; it’s also reasonably priced. Picking the motherboard was honestly the hardest part, everyone has so many opinions. I just went with one I saw a lot of people using and didn’t find much criticism about it.

For storage, the SSD I picked was ranked the best new SSD by TechPowerUP. I looked at some cheaper options, but I kept seeing people say to avoid them.

I wanted an rgb RAM and the option i picked was by far the cheapest and had no criticism on posts talking about it, so i just went for it.

The case choice was mostly about aesthetics. The airflow isn’t bad for a glass case, so I’m happy with it. The PSU was ranked A+ on this spreadsheet, and it wasn’t even expensive.

As much as I’d love the Lian Li Infinity fans, there’s no way I’m spending $300–$400 on fans, so I went with the Asiahorse ones. If anyone knows better fans in that price range, lmk

Last but not least, the monitor. I was thinking about going OLED, but I’ll probably grab that later (maybe Black Friday). Finding a good IPS monitor in this price range was super hard, almost as tricky as picking the motherboard. If you have any recommendations, drop them below.

Those are my reasons for the picks.

I had a ps5 and played games like rdr2, cyberpunk, gow, marvel rivals (which was especially fun these days), elden ring, hollow knight (can't wait for silksong). I want to try out games like rust, valorant, battlefield, ultrakill (has the most amazing gameplay i've seen), and many others with a keyboard and mouse, I couldn't aim on a controller, which is a big reason why i chose PC gaming.
