Hey everyone! I'm planning to order a custom PC from a company, and I need some advice on the parts and overall setup. I'm looking to buy the PC, a monitor, and a keyboard around July or August. My budget for everything is about $1500 to $1750 USD, but prices might differ since I live outside the U.S.
I'm currently upgrading from a pretty outdated laptop (Asus X515EA with an Intel Core i3 and 8 GB RAM), so this will be a massive upgrade for me! I already have some peripherals like the Razer Viper V3 Hyperspeed mouse and Razer Kraken V4X headset.
I plan to game at 1080p ultra settings with high fps on a high refresh rate IPS monitor. I'll be playing a variety of games including heavily modded Minecraft, Roblox, CS2, and many others like GTA 5 and Battlefield. Storage is also a priority, as I want to keep a lot of games on my PC.
Here's the build I have in mind:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 9600x
- CPU Cooler: Be quiet! Pure Rock 2 Black
- Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Eagle WiFi 6E ATX
- Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16) DDR5-6000 CL36
- Storage: Kingston NV3 2TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD
- GPU: Gigabyte Gaming OC Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB
- PSU: Corsair PSU 850w RM850e Fully Modular Low-Noise (ATX 3.0)
- Case: Corsair 4000D RGB Airflow
- Monitor: Samsung 27" Odyssey G4 IPS FHD 240Hz 1ms
I'm also planning to order a magnetic keyboard from AliExpress. Any advice you all have on changing anything in my build or setup would be really appreciated! Thanks!

Hey! Your build looks solid, but if you're going for high FPS at 1080p, you might want to consider swapping the GPU for something like an NVIDIA 5070 Ti. It could give you an edge in performance. Also, if you're near a Micro Center, they frequently have awesome deals on parts, which could help you stay within budget!
I noticed you posted an old PCPartPicker link; you might want to update that. You can create an anonymous permalink which can help others suggest modifications better. Just click 'Edit this Part List' on PCPartPicker to generate a new link!
Thanks for the suggestion! I checked the prices in my country, and unfortunately, it’s a lot more expensive than I expected.
