These two websites are your friends: Logical Increments
PCPartPicker Logical Increments’s $1157 Superb Tier build config is pretty good and should do the trick but if you have a couple hundred more to spend, I’ll give you a slightly better alternative below for $1317. Processor (CPU):
Intel Core i5-13600KF (Socket LGA 1700) $200.00 USD Motherboard:Â
ASRock Z790 PRO RS DDR5 $129.00 USD Memory (RAM): Get the 32gb kit listed as an alternative in the build guide. 32gb will future proof and allow you to expand into bigger games. TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan 32GB (2 x 16GB) 5600MHz $93.00 USD Graphics Card:
Guide says get the RX 7700 XT. I like this card but the 7800 XT is better overall.
RX 7800 XT $550-$675Â Cooler (HSF): Good suggested cooler, or you could get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 $80.00 USD Storage: The guide gives bad suggestions for storage tbh. Hard Drives suck and are obsolete these days; you can get a 1TB NVMe SSD for the same price as an old 1TB HDD. Here’s a fast 1TB NVMe with DRAM cache that is cheaper than the ancient Intel ones the guide suggests. Acer Predator GM7000 M.2 1TB $72.99 USD Power Supply (PSU): Don’t cheap out on a power supply. The most critical part. The guide suggested ones are good but they are not modular which is a pain to deal with. Modular ones have gone down in price and will save you time and money. be quiet! Pure Power 12 M 650W ATX 3.0 Power Supply $97-104 USD Case: The creators of the guides really like Phanteks products but you don’t need an Enthoo Pro. Just get a solid Corsair case instead. Corsair FRAME 4000D RS ARGB Black Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower $94-109 USD Superb Build Guide Total: ~$1157 USD
Wakeuplmd Build Guide Total: ~$1317 USD
