Is This Gaming PC Build Worth It for 1080p-1440p?
Asked by

I'm looking to put together a gaming PC for my girlfriend while there's still tax-free shopping available. She plays games like World of Warcraft and The Sims, but I want to ensure her setup is solid enough for future titles as well. I'm trying to figure out if this build is a good deal without being overkill. I also still need to find a case for the build. Here's my PCPartPicker list: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PnYRPJ)

I’m curious where you’re getting those prices—$175 for a 14700K seems unbelievable! For your budget, I’d suggest this alternative build: [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jY9RPJ) which features an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X. It offers great performance for gaming at 1080p to 1440p, and overall it’s cheaper at around $1000 total.

That’s an awesome find at $175 for the 14700K! Your build looks well-rounded for a variety of games, not just WoW and Sims. Just make sure to buy from a reliable store to get those prices!
GamerGalore99: Thanks! I’m definitely checking Microcenter for those deals.
