Building my first PC
Posted by stanchuu916739402@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 7 comments
Hi guys I'm building my first pc and I wanted some suggestions on whether or not this build is awesome to play league of legends, valorant, apex, cs2, and maybe a little streaming on twitch to my friends. My budget is around $2000 USD and I am sourcing my SSD from my old pc (for now), which is why it's not on the list. The CPU, motherboard, and ram come in a bundle from microcenter which means the total from PCPartPicker is a little more than the actual total. I'm a little unsure about the video card that I want, since I do prefer a white one but it doesn't matter that much to me. Also if you have anymore white pc case reccs lmk pls \^\^ (preferably under like $150).

These will work, but the CPU might be overkill. Consider the 9700X bundle with the white motherboard.
The 3500 X is a good case. There are others, but you have to decide yourself whether you like its looks.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't go with my original CPU? There's only a $100 difference between the two bundles so I was thinking I might as well get the X3D instead of the X.

As I said, it will work. It's your choice to pay more for a black motherboard.

Hey OP! What’s your current budget for the build? Micro Center frequently runs some killer bundles if you pick up your CPU and motherboard together.

I want to be around $2000 for my budget and I am getting my CPU, motherboard, and RAM in a bundle from Microcenter. With the bundle + rest of the build, the PC comes to around $1700 as of right now :3

Since you're playing PvP games, you don't need the latest and the greatest. Apex will probably run your pc the hardest. Your cpu and gpu combo with 32gb of ram will be more than enough to do all that you want to do at high graphics and fps. You should be pretty happy with your build. Since you're asking on the internet, you'll probably find a ton of people saying minor improvements here and there, but overall your build looks good! Keep us posted when you do get your pc!

Thanks \^\^ I wanted a pretty good CPU cause my pc right now is a 6 year old prebuilt, so I wanted to try something new. I also don't really plan on upgrading anything in the next few years, so I'm trying to make this PC last :D
