Hey guys,
I'm looking for a PC Build recommendation with a budget under $2000. I already own a graphics card (a 1080ti) so that won't be needed in the budget. However, I will most likely be upgrading the graphics card by the end of this year to something newer and high end so I would prefer the other components to be relatively complementary in performance to something like an RTX 3080.

This PC will be primarily used for gaming. The most intensive games I would like to be able to run would be Cyberpunk 2077 and Doom Eternal.

  • For storage I would like a 1tb nvme SSD.
  • For a case, I would prefer it to be in the mid size form factor.
  • I would like 16gb of RAM as the minimum.
  • For the CPU, at least a 6 core CPU from either AMD or Intel preferably.
  • I don't really have any preferences for motherboard, PSU or type of CPU cooling.

      SSD do be kinda whack
      And there's not much point in spending that much on a CPU cooler
      X570 isn't much better imo than b550 for OP's use case

    What GPU do you have first off.

    • BlazeTA on 01/06/2021 - 19:21

      A 1080ti.

    I'd like to know what games you'll be running.

    • BlazeTA on 01/06/2021 - 19:23

      The most graphically intensive thing I would be running would probably be Cyberpunk 2077.

    MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI AMD AM4 WiFi 6 ATX Motherboard
    AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 4.7GHz 8 Cores 16 Threads AM4 CPU
    Ekwb EK-AIO 240 D-RGB 240mm ARGB LED Liquid CPU Cooler
    G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz DDR4 Desktop Memory Kit
    Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB V-NAND 3500MB/s NVMe M.2 SSD

    You will have $ spare for other things, but it's a good base value for money build.

      I didn't even notice "Uskompuf" post above till now and noticed we both selected the same Motherboard and CPU

    I saw something about prebuilts being sold for cheap minus graphics card. Probably bought by miners or people looking to profit off the resale of the gpu.

    $1888

    take out the GPU 6700XT resell on ebay for $1k - $1.3k

    then your pc would have cost $800 to $588
