Asked by TechieNinja87
Hey everyone! I'm planning to buy parts for my PC this weekend at my local macro center. I've created my build by consulting macro center employees, using ChatGPT, and doing my own research. My budget is around $1500. I want a PC that can handle indie games like Hollow Knight and Terraria at good settings, older big titles like Red Dead Redemption at decent settings, and newer games, such as GTA 6 and Cyberpunk 2077, at usable settings (looking for around 30fps with medium to low graphics to avoid FPS spikes). I also need to stick with an RTX graphics card and want a lot of RAM since I use Blender regularly. Any suggestions for altering my parts list or tips on pricing would be greatly appreciated! Here's what I'm looking at: 1. GPU โ€“ Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Windforce Overclocked Dual Fan 8GB GDDR6X PCIe 5.0 Graphics Card Price: $489.99 2. Case โ€“ Montech AIR 903 MAX Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case (Black) Price: $89.99 3. CPU + Motherboard + RAM Bundle โ€“ AMD Ryzen 7 9700X + Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 + G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 Price: $429.99 4. Storage (SSD) โ€“ SK Hynix Platinum P41 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4 x4 NVMe TLC NAND Flash Internal SSD Price: $144.99 5. Operating System โ€“ Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-Bit USB (English) Price: $139.99 6. Power Supply โ€“ MSI MAG A750GL PCIe5 750W 80+ Gold Fully Modular ATX 3.1 PSU Price: $99.99 7. CPU Cooler โ€“ Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Air Cooler Price: $49.99 Thanks in advance, and I'm here to answer any questions you have!

Hey! Just to clarify, are these prices in USD? Also, your build looks solid for the budget you're working with. Make sure that case has enough airflow for that GPU you selected. Just a heads up, try double-checking the compatibility of the CPU cooler with that case, too. Happy building!

Your parts list seems well thought out for what you want to achieve. I'd suggest keeping an eye on the PSU wattage, though; 750W should be enough, but if you plan to upgrade in the future, a little more headroom could be helpful. Also, consider looking for sales on the OS โ€“ sometimes you can find it cheaper!

I think you're on the right track! Your GPU choice is great for gaming, and 32GB RAM should definitely help with Blender. Just a detail: remember to factor in the price of cables and other accessories if you donโ€™t have them yet. Enjoy putting it all together!
