First Ever PC. Is this a good parts list?

Posted by DeezAmogusNuts@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 7 comments

Hello. I am currently saving up for my first ever PC. After using a laptop for around 10 years, I can finally say I almost have enough money to buy my first ever PC.

I live in a different country (UAE) so prices, and part-availability is gonna be very different from places like the U.S.

My budget is around 4,500 DHS - 5,500 DHS (1,225$ - 1497$).

My plan is to get a strong CPU for video editing along with a fast GPU (2.5 - 2.8 GHz) for gaming at 1440p 144hz (If it's possible). I know this request is very unrealistic given the budget I listed.

I mainly play Minecraft (The only game where I can go beyond 60 fps with mods), BeamNG Drive, GTA 4, Eurotruck Simulator, CS2, Fortnite, and Valorant. I do plan to play other games so hopefully the build I'm gonna list is enough. I'm also planning to edit on DaVinci Resolve (as a hobby right now) so the CPU power is gonna be important here.

The build:
