Need advice on my first PC build.

[AlejandroMorant802]

Help me, I am trying to build a pc to get 150fps smoothly on Warzone. It's my first time doing this I am moving from a PS4 to a PC, I have done some research and I believe this is a good build I am trying to stick at €1300. However, I wanted the opinion on someone who understands on pc's. Considering I have a 144hz monitor I want to try maximise it with trying to get a good amount of fps but staying under the 1300 budget. Thank you guys I appreciate the help. Help me on anything you see I could improve, change anything please. Also I feel confident with the 8GB AMD RADEON™ RX 5700 XT - HDMI, DP - DX® 12, as I have seen by my research it has impressive performance in Warzone.

The maximum fps you can get with a 144Hz monitor is 144. what resolution is that monitor

You'd also do a lot better going with an AMD build

AMD Vs Intel

So some of you aren't aware of the reasons why so many people are heading away from Intel to AMD, so thought it would be important to lay that out for people to refer back to. A lot of you will go to cpubenchmark or userbenchmark to find performance metrics for CPU's. These sites are complete...

Completely agree a amd build would be alot better !

Also do you have a 1080p 144hz monitor or a 1440p 144hz monitor

Okay so this is something i am unsure off, while doing my research, the i5 10600 was giving better performance than the ryzen 5 3600, so which CPU would be an appropriate one? I do agree that ryzen have been giving a lot better performance overall. The monitor i hav is the AOC 24G2U/BK 1080p. 1ms. AMD freesync
Thank you!

 

[jamiephillips909]

Depends on what monitor your using to accurately recommend somthing 1080p and 1440p and 4k are diffrent ball parks so a 1080p system would require alot less then a 1440p etc so its important for us to know what monitor your using or plan to use to make recommendations to you

Its a 1080p AOC 144hz 1ms, AMD freesync, which i dont know what it means.
I will upgrade next month to a 1440p 165hz.

Would this be a better build?

yeah that's looking better, scrap the bullguard, it is just a problem waiting to happen & windows defender is way better

 

[MrWilson]

If we're moving up to 1440p you'll need a 3060ti to push 144+fps. R5 5600x will probably be a better fit too if this is purely for gaming.

 

[AlejandroMorant802]

Hi, I know its in Spanish sorry however the components are the standard name i hope you understand. Well Let me know what you think of this, Only trying to game at 1080p and get 120-140fps. And i know my CPU cooler is too much but i thought it looked really cool so why not.

Also could you guys let me know on a small review on PCS M.2. Just curious if its good enough or should i pay the extat for the Samsung 970 EVO. Thanks

The PCS M.2 is more than fine However if you've got the funds go for the Samsungs m.2 they are much faster

You will want a separate drive for the OS rather than having everything on one drive. Makes life much easier if you ever need to reinstall windows

 

[Scott]

You want to go for the 5600X, as suggested previously. It's more money but it's a lot more performance.

500GB is perfect for a primary drive. If you want an added little luxury also add a 1TB M2 drive for your games.

 

[AlejandroMorant802]

Whilst I agree that the H115i does look cool...it is also using up over £100 (130 Euros maybe?) of your budget...if you dropped that back to the stock fan, then you could afford to get a better CPU, the 5600x, and still have some left over. It is better to get the best base spec you can than spend money on luxuries that aren't needed at the expense of the important parts of the system.

Thank you for the advice i hve made the change i didnt want to wait for the 5600x but i have realised through youtube that performanxe is way higher. So i decided to actually go for it!
