Is this a good pc build for gaming?
Posted by Skullface77@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 15 comments
My budget is under $2000 (the lower the better). This would be my first time building a gaming pc and I want to make sure it can perform very well, especially with high intensity games such as Beamng Drive and Fallout.
Also, if this is not the right subreddit to ask this, I apologize. I don't know another subreddit to post this.

If spending \~$1,600, you really need to come away with a 5070 minimum. Do you live near a MIcrocenter?
Skullface77@reddit (OP)
The nearest one is an hour from me. Why?

Bought mine a month ago.and I love it!
Dwarf-Eater@reddit
Dam that's a nice set up for a solid price!!

The $300+ saved on a CPU/RAM/Mobo combo is probably worth two hours, but it's in-person only. Check on their website under 'Top Deals/AMD Intel Bundles'.
quickray2@reddit
They have a 9700x, Gigabyte mobo, 32GB DDR5 combo for $500. They also have a 5070 for $560.
csbassplayer2003@reddit
Their prebuilts and cpu/mobo/ram bundles are hard to beat. Pricing on a lot of other stuff is also really good and they have deals all the time. Bought a least a few things for each of my last 3 builds from them.

Hey, thanks for the build. Are you saying this is a better build than the one I had?
SnooDoubts807@reddit
Yes, better CPU Cooler, RAM, GPU and PSU.
Skullface77@reddit (OP)
