Hi!! I want to build a PC for gaming and regular browsing. There are so many options and it is very overwhelming. I don't have a budget. I would be purchasing from the US. I would like to have RGB lighting and 2 monitors.

At what resolution?
What games?
What settings and FPS are you targeting?
Aesthetics (do you want to pay extra for white build, RGB, or screen on auto?)
prettypinktutu@reddit (OP)
I would like high resolution for streaming but doesn't have to be 4K but I would be open to 4K. Mostly league of legends. 150-250 FPS. I would pay extra for white build and RGB. Don't need AIO.

With no budget this is what i would do.
It's not the world's fastest but it is overkill for what you're asking.
Rather than going 4k I would actually recommend you go 1440p OLED. (Yes, you can also go 4k OLED but it's really not needed until you go above 38" screens)

This is an odd collection of parts. Why would you bother to spend more on a gen 5 nvme and then buy such a bad PSU?
ADo_9000@reddit
Not really sure what you mean by bad PSU.
It's a lesser known brand yes.
But it is actually really good quality
Ranked A or B+ depending if you get the 23 or 24 model

From the parts list you made, that doesn't really surprise me.

$619 for a 27" monitor? Sheeeesh.

If you do not have a budget I'd recommend Costco they're not cheap but already pre built and you can find really good setups if building isn't really what you are looking for
Seymoure25@reddit
If money is no option and you don't want to do the research Why not just buy a high end pre built?

if you're just playing league you don't need anywhere near what these lot are saying, a solid 4070 super or 5080 will get you 250fps easy and leave room for other stuff without going mental on the wallet
PrairieNihilist@reddit
Honestly, a 5070 or 9070 XT will do the trick too, and leave even more money for other stuff than a 5080.
JoyfullyGross@reddit
fair shout, 5070 would def be the sweet spot then if they wanna save a bit more cash for the monitors and rgb stuff
ClickKlockTickTock@reddit
I got that lvl of fps on a 3070 lol, I don't quite understand wanting that high of fps for league of all games, but more power to him I guess.
JoyfullyGross@reddit
fair point, 3070 still slaps for league tbh, was just saying don't need to go full overkill like some folks recommend for a first timer

You’re gonna need dual RTX 5090s to run most modern titles. Trust me
ADo_9000@reddit
If you send me 10 Maxwell 6000 pros, 80 sticks of 32 gb 6000 cl26 and buy a gt710 I'll set you up so you can use GeForce now
Ok-Strawberry277@reddit
Oh boy I love GeForce now, just tie me to the cuck chair while you’re at it!

😂😂😂 I don't know why I laughed as hard at this as I did, but well played and thanks for that.

Are you building it for running spreadsheets or something else?
