This build looks solid for your budget! For games like Doom Eternal, the RTX 3050 should definitely get you good performance, but if you want to future-proof, consider upgrading the GPU to an RX 6600 if you can stretch your budget a bit. Also, I'd suggest going for 2 x 16GB RAM instead of 1 x 32GB for better performance. Just my two cents!
Sounds good! Just make sure you have a cooler that can handle higher workloads too.
Honestly, if you’re aiming for a consistent 120fps at 1080p in high-end games, that 120GB SSD might not be enough. Upgrading to a 1TB for around $40 more could be worth it. As for the CPU, the 5700 might save you a bit while giving you better performance. Look into that too!
Definitely consider a larger SSD—storage fills up fast with modern games!
Yeah, SSDs are lifesavers! Makes everything run smoother.
Totally agree! The RX 6600 is a great choice, plus a 1TB M.2 SSD would really enhance your storage situation.
