Need Feedback on My New PC Build Parts List

Asked By GamerDude42 On

I'm planning to upgrade from my current setup, which includes an i7-9700k and a 3070, so I decided to go for a whole new build. The main focus will be gaming. I've selected some parts, and I have a couple of questions: 1. Are there any issues with the components I've chosen? 2. Can I improve the cost-to-performance ratio with any suggestions? I'm open to ideas! Thanks! You can check out my build here: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/c6vdKq

Consider grabbing a gaming motherboard from MSI or Gigabyte instead; you could save around $50 while still getting great quality. If you’re planning to reuse any storage, you might want to rethink the SATA SSD since it's overpriced. The 1TB for $110 doesn't seem worth it when you can get a 2TB SN7100 for about $140. Also, your power supply choice is a bit underwhelming for a high-end build; the Montech Century II 850W is a much better fit at around $90. As for the 5080 GPU, the MSRP is about $1000, but spending more than that won’t get you much performance boost. Reusing your Windows license is also a good idea!

Looks like you're making a solid choice! But if you don't already own that 4TB SATA drive, I'd recommend skipping it. Instead, go for a good NVMe drive like the Western Digital SN7100; it’s pretty much the same price and way faster. Also, the power supply you picked isn't the best quality—swapping it for the Montech Century II 850W would be a better choice. And if you're getting a Windows license, definitely opt for the Retail version to keep it linked to your account—that way it’s not tied to just one machine.
