What do you think of my first PC build parts list?
Asked by

Hey everyone! I'm diving into my first PC build and I've put together a list of parts that I think will work well for playing city builders like Planet Zoo and Cities Skylines. I'm pretty set on the case since it fits my limited space, but I'm open to any suggestions for other components. I appreciate any advice you can give! Thanks in advance!

Solid setup! Since you're into simulation games, the 7700x processor is a great pick with its 8 cores. Just a note: avoid paying too much for a Windows key—there are cheaper options online. And definitely go for two sticks of 16GB RAM, around 6000 MHz will do you well. When choosing a GPU, look at cards like the 6800xt or 6900xt for amazing performance, especially for simulations! Also, steer clear of the Red Dragon keyboard; there are better choices for the same price.

Hey, good start! Just a heads up, the RAM you've chosen is a single stick, which isn't ideal for performance since it won't run in dual channel. Maybe look for a kit with two 16GB sticks? That would definitely help with gaming performance!

I suggest switching to an AIO cooler instead of the Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID ML120L you picked. It'll give you better cooling. Also, consider upgrading to a 5060 Ti for better performance!
CraftyPineapple92: Thanks for the tip! I’ll look into AIO coolers and the 5060 Ti.

CraftyPineapple92: I didn't know about the dual channel thing! I'll definitely change it to two 16GB sticks. Any recommendations on which ones to pick?
