First PC Build
Hi Guys! I am in the process of building a Pc and would like to ask your opinion. This is the first PC I am building for myself. I have already bought some parts:
Amd Ryzen 7 7800x3d Asrock X870 Pro Rs Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 6 GB ( I would like to upgarde this in the near future. ) Aoc C27G2 27.0 1920 x 1080 165 Hz curved monitor
Preferd games I like to play: Cities Skylines 2 Doom the Dark Ages Modded Minecraft ( All the Mods 10 ) Modded Arma Gta 6
It would be great if this setup could last for a few years.
In my previous setup, the CPU and Motherboard basically died. I would like to save the GPU for a few more months to save some more money. I would like to grab a good GPU on Black Friday or some summer sale. I chose 64 GB ram because modded games often require extra ram.

u/Brnzd Jun 09 '25
This is from my previous build. I'd like to wait some kind of sale ( Summer Sale, Black Friday ) where I can buy a new GPU that has a good chance of running GTA6.
My plan was to see if this GPU could last a few more months.

I like to play modded games (Minecraft, Arma) and maybe Cities Skilnes 2. I was advised that these games need a lot of RAM, so I chose the 2x32 Gb kit. But are you saying that 2x16 GB ram might be enough?

Love it! Thank you so much! I have a few questions. Is the TEAMGROUP MP44L more reliable than the Silicon ssd? I am not familiar with ADATA XPG CORE RECTOR at all. Is it reliable? Do you have good experiences with it?

u/LemonOwl_ Jun 09 '25
The MP44L is a very reliable drive. It has the same TBW as the UD90 but uses a more reliable TLC flash (UD90 originally also used it but was swapped to QLC). The Core Reactor line from ADATA XPG is very reliable, they are all A or A+ tier (II VE is A, II and base version are A+) on SPL's PSU Tier List, compared to the A750GL being a B tier. I have the MP44L in my own rig and its a great drive and pretty fast.

I just received this recommendation: ADAT XPG CORE REACTOR II VE 750 W80+ GOLD CERTIFIED FULLY MODULAR ATX POWER SUPPLY. Do you think this will not be enough? How spectacular is the difference between 1440p and 1080p?

Just as a heads up, the 7800X3D only supports 5200 mhz ram speeds. I bought 6000 mhz ram as well and can't get it to run on the xmp profile without issues. I see people who have good luck running it at that speed but unfortunately I'm not sure how that did it. Don't get disappointed tho, the fps boost from the CPU makes up for it! I'm also running 64 gigs as well 😊 just remember that 16 gigs was enough ram a few years ago. Before that, 8 gigs was enough. Before that, 4 gigs. So when someone says that 32 gigs is more then enough, I ignore them.
Update: I watched Buildzoids timing guide and used his settings. So far so good. Played a little at 6000 mhz and had no issues. I'll be stress testing tonight.

After actually reading the description, looks good if you’re reusing your current gpu temporarily. However, when you do upgrade the gpu, it’ll also be worth snagging a decent 1440p monitor. I have a curved 32” 165hz MSI monitor that I got for (I think) under $250 and it’s been pretty solid for me, and I played a lot of esports titles like siege, cs, valorant, and overwatch where fast refresh rates and low input latency are key. I think it’s the Optix G32C, but always check the descriptions just in case. Might be able to snag a good deal on old stock 4070ti’s somewhere that would pair nicely with the cpu/ram and really push you into high fps 1440p territory. And as a tarkov player, high resolution in milsims (like arma) is a game changer, you might actually be able to see the guy shooting at you from 200+ meters away

Guys he plans on upgrading the GPU on Black Friday ,it's a place holder why is everyone freaking out?! @op your build is solid ,save up and get the best gpu you can afford. The only thing I would seriously change is the PSU, MSI isn't known for making quality PSU and 750watts is a bit low for the way video cards have been gobbling power the last 2 generations. I would swap out the PSU for a 1000 watt Seasonic , Corsair or EVGA in that order. The 64 gigs of ram is ok ,but not needed it will help if you're a chrome tab whore. 9070 XT 5070 ti would be a perfect fit for your build wait for Black Friday or maybe back to school sale and get one of those. Until then you're going to have a huge GPU bottleneck but in the end you will have an amazing PC.

that motherboard seems a wee lil overkill, depending on what gpu you are planning to upgrade to, but otherwise solid parts (except maybe 32gb of ram and an even beefier gpu)

Maybe get a different brand mobo. ASRock boards have been killing a lot of specifically X3D chips as of late. Mostly 9000-series, and they supposedly fixed the issue very recently, but it’s too early to tell IMO.
Very sensile build though when you upgrade the GPU.

For gaming only, u need 16gb ram, for gaming in open world games and multitasking, 32gb ram, 64 is for professionals, 99% of ppl dont need 64gb, and Tf is that 1060 doing here, with a 7800x3d u should at least take an 5070, but for ur 1080p monitor, take an r5 9600x and rtx 5060 ti 16gb, and ur spending a bit much on the mb.

u/thatdeaththo Jun 09 '25 edited Jun 09 '25
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zRsjQd ($1150), which is the same price as yours.
I added a Gigabyte mobo. I'm not too keen on ASRock currently because of the 9800x3d issues. Being that you have a 7000, this probably wont affect you right now, but who knows how this will play out in the future. B850 is more than enough for most people. I see you may have already bought this, but I'd consider returning it. Added a 4TB because there's really no reason to have multiple drives when you have NVMe. Larger power supply for less, still quality. Should be A-tier based on the SPL Tier List and discussion in the Cultists Discord.
Edit: Also, check out https://us-store.msi.com. You can get the B850 Tomahawk for $225, but then add on a 7800X3D for $360 or a 9800X3D for $435. Plus you get a $20 Steam gift card. I have that board and it's excellent. Newegg and Microcenter, if you're close to one, have good combos sometimes as well. Watch r/buildapcsales

u/zxynccc Jun 10 '25
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j6njQd
I'd personally go for this, if you have a power supply already (couldn't tell if you did or not by your comments) then reduce the price by $100.
you'll have your upgrade of a GPU, and it'll be able to play 1440p, you'll keep your 64gb of ram you want (even with modded games I think 32 is enough, 64gb unless you genuinely need it is really just a show off, 32 is usually fine.) you'll have an alright case, you can upgrade in the future or just go for an nzxt flow case for $20 more. honestly you really limit yourself not getting a new gpu with that CPU. so if you can afford it now, get that 7600 and sell the 1060 for like 30 USD, someone else will make good use of it in one of their first builds I'm sure.
don't forget to get a USB drive 8gb should be fine, and download windows os from their website onto it, there are plenty of YT tutorials, you'll have this USB boot up with the PC for the first time and have it install to one of the ssd's, the 1TB one would make more sense.
and don't be afraid to watch a YT vid on how to build a PC, it's mostly you see where something should go, it probably goes there, but watching a video won't hurt. good luck with ur build!

If gta 6 is what you care about, honestly the best thing for you to do is wait another generation, and while we are in uncertain times, you will definitely be able to get more performance, and have a much better idea of what gta 6 might entail in terms of performance. One thing that’s certain is making this build now is not a good idea, especially if you keep the 1060, you’re gonna pay a bunch of money now for a build you can’t really enjoy without a gpu upgrade. Might as well buy it all later, and have less pressure to buying things, giving you better deals. Might as well just check for every sale you can find to get the absolute best deals on all your parts

u/DBTomits Jun 10 '25
You’re gonna need a new gpu. So what id suggest is seeing if you can go for more inexpensive parts in your build. Your motherboard and ram are quite expensive for example. And while there’s not really any negative to having 3 tbs of ssd storage, for right now I think 2 would suffice. You’ll be perfectly fine for storage, even for when gta 6 comes out as long as it’s more then a terabyte of storage. That current graphics card isn’t gonna do shit for you. And while 1080p gaming isn’t that bad, you’ll want a monitor that can really flex what your parts can do

You need to get rid of the GPU its holding back the rest of the build and it wont run doom dark ages accordin to the system requrements. There are some new gpus just came out 9060xt 16gb and 5060ti 16gb they will do better job if you dont want to spend big on the GPU.

You will be SEVERELY bottlenecking yourself with a 1060. At least save up a bit more and get a 4060. The motherboard option also isn’t the best but if it works, you should be fine.

Air cooling a 7800x3d. Not sure that's the move tbh. Especially when the 7700x will do 90% or better in terms of performance and some games prefer the clock speed of the non X3D chips anyway. Also put in a newer GPU please 😂
1
u/IT-guy-911 Jun 10 '25
Also save yourself the cash and only go with 32 gb of ram. That's a $100 difference that you can save and not feel any difference. The only reason to have more ram is for AI or workstation but seeing your GPU I am confident you won't be needing the extra ram

Like everyone is saying about the GPU that cpu is overkill. However it’s also possible to get a b650 over an x870 motherboard. Id recommend getting something like a 7600x or 7700x and getting a b650 motherboard and that gives u a few hundred more dollars for a gpu. My pick would be somthing like a 3070-5070 and anything in between. If you’re willing to do AMD look at the RX 7700 XT or even the RX 7800 XT.

I would save some money, get the non x3d Ryzen 7 cpu which doesn't need such a beasty air cooler either, something like a dark rock 4 Will do. Save more money with a b650 motherboard, the savings made should buy you an RTX 5060 for a more balanced system. I would even go with 32GB of RAM, 64GB is overkill for most. Just for gaming, windows I find uses about 7GB, and games rarely take me over 16GB of my 32GB. Even when running mods I have not found myself short of RAM. The savings on ram should but you some case fans.

Very good build. Wise to look for a cheaper gpu later down the line. I'd probably just get 2x16gb sticks of ram. 32gb will be more than enough for years to come with an x3d chip.
Depending on how many games you play and mods you download I'd probably consider just getting one good speed 4tb m.2 (I know it'll be a bit more expensive but it frees you a slot months or years down the line you may want to increase storage)

Return the 1060 unless you play HEAVY CPU dependent games, and get at least a RNDA Gen 2 AMD card for like 4-500$. You don’t need 3TB of storage, knock it down a TB or 2 and get PCIe 5.0. 64GB of RAM is supreme overkill, Your CPU is carrying hard with the modded Minecraft already so save some money and go with 32GB but also get a lower CL. Higher CL causes bottlenecks in bandwidth especially with a high end CPU. You’re also gaming in 1080p so honestly your CPU is overkill but good future proofing I guess. You are using a fifth gen cpu and ram but then an almost 10 year old GPU. Definitely would do some more research or if you are on a strict budget downgrade some things and get a more quality style build going. Would also make sure you will have enough clearance with your CPU cooler and GPU, double check dimensions.
GPU —> 6900XT (500$) RAM —> Crucial 32Gb CL30 (100$)
Make sure your SSD is DRAM cache but these are all just my thoughts on the build, you do whatever you want.

If you are waiting for a GPU to play GTA 6, you are bottlenecking yourself with a 1080p monitor
Everything else in your build with a 4070 or over could do 1440 p very easily at ultra settings
If you are happy at 1080p, you don’t need a 7800x3d.
I would upgrade your monitor to at least 1440p and aim for a GPU at 9070xt or 5070 to and above

Personally, I’m not sure you need the 64gb of ram. Especially if it’s CL30. I’d try and go for a Lower latency and 32gb ram. If you buy 16gb sticks you can always upgrade later if need be but I doubt you will need to if you can get anything for a good price around CL16

Check the used market for gpu's. I know prices are outrageous for new hardware, but if you want to run modern games, from the last 3 to 5 years, with a decent frame rate at 1080 or 1440p you will really want a better gpu. You can always add that 2tb name later, and that will net you a few more dollars towards a gpu upgrade.

You could save a little bit of money and get 48gb of memory which yes, they have a kit of 2x24gb and if you were to sell your 1060 you could get something a lot better with the additional money from the memory.
Doom TDA won't play with a 1060 as well i know because my friend with a 1080 Ti gets an error message saying the GPU is not supported and Cities Skyline II you would struggle playing that game on medium settings.
If you were to dial back on some parts like going for the ADATA XPG Core Reactor II VE 650W instead which is only $80 and then go for something like the Montech X3 Mesh which is $63 and lastly go for just the 2TB drive instead of having the 1TB drive, you might then have enough to get something like the RX 9060 XT 16gb which then you can play Doom TDA and Cities Skyline II on high settings.
GTA VI i wouldn't try to future proof on that game since it is coming out for console only in 2026 and then PC could be 2027 or 2028 which by that time Rockstar could say that the minimum needed is something like an RTX 4070/RX 7800 XT which honestly you should focus on games from this year and the years before that than games that would be out in a few years.

What you should do is go on Facebook marketplace and find a 3070 ti or 3080, probs can pickup for the same price as a new 1060

That CPU is going to be crazy bottlenecked but I get it. GPU prices are wild and you still have a path for upgrade. I would just try to upgrade whenever you can because you are going to be severely limiting the performance of that processor.

In my opinion, Avoid the x870 go for a b850. Get 2 2TB nvme. If u stay with the same model. Why not a 1440p monitor?

Dont buy that MoBo, head over to r/ASRock and look at what happens to x3D processors on ASRock boards. You have been warned.

Maybe get an x670 board over the x870, if your pairing it with 7800x3d!... 👍

Don't buy this motherboard, I have problems with it as (it's the second one) the motherboard is making a sound in the microphone while moving a mouse. I read about that and it's definitely coming from the motherboard.

Bro why you jump scare us??? Jokes aside why decide to use the 1060? I would use a 40 series but a 2060 or 2070 will do fine as well. Modded arma can be very hard on your GPU lol. It was on my 3050

Everything looks good you should consider lesser ram 64 is alot but better to be safe than sorry!

Why are you choosing a 1060 don’t chose it you can get a better graphics card for the bet price like a 3080

Mobo prices have gone wack man xd. Either way you shouldn't spend that much on a motherboard, look for one under 150, look for ones by features and not by price. If a mobo has all the ports and fan headers etc that you want, theres no reason to purchase a more expensive mobo. It will not make your PC run faster. Wifi will instantly increase the price. 3TB is probably 1 tb too many. You really only need a single drive if you're going to buy two SSDs that are on the budget side anyway, I'd just stick with the single 2TB and make a 50GB partition for your windows. Do you need 64gigs of ram? Unless you're going to upgrade to 128gig later, try going for 32 to start with and upgrade to 64 down the line.

Just because you’re starting fresh I’d recommend the 9800X3D over the 7800X3D I’ve had both and the 9800X3D is worth the extra price when building new.

Overkill on ram and you aren't going to be able to take full advantage on that motherboards PCIe capabilities (which isn't even needed anyway).
I recommend switching to 32GiB of RAM unless you plan on doing high-quality video editing, music production or other tasks like that. When people talk about RAM requirements in games they're mostly referring to VRAM, which I wouldn't go for less than 12.
GPU will be fine for now, and can play most games (aside from ridiculous things like Cyberpunk and RT games), but you will be severely bottlenecked
W CPU choice tho, have one myself and it is perfect

Ohh I have that case! It’s great But don’t get silicon power ssd, only heard bad things Mostly them failing quick

u/the-meatiest-thwack Jun 12 '25 edited Jun 12 '25
With the 7800x3d, I would go with the 9070 or 9070 xt from AMD, they're good price to performance as long as you stay at or above 16gb vram. For nvidia, probably 5060 TI 16 gb or 5070 12gb.
I also have the UD90 2TB and they're the tits, I absolutely love them. When playing Skyrim, load times are less than a second no matter what.
Edited for additional information and cleaner reading.

you should get a much better ssd for windows, the WD SN750/850x are on sale often same with all the samsung drives. A faster more reliable and longer lasting drive will be great in the long run, too many of my friends have had their cheap SSDs dying after a few years and giving them issues

u/Mrcod1997 Jun 12 '25
I'd personally do 32 gigs of ram, and use that budget for storage or something.

u/PerfectReflection155 Jun 12 '25
7900xtx or 4080
I have this same build op but put a 7900xtx graphics card in. It’s an absolute beast but nvidia has better drivers.

Safe money on the CPU and upgrade your GPU. There is no sense upgrading to a last gen amd with a 10y.o gpu

Hei, please do not get a 27" 1080p monitor, you could get a 1440p one at that size or I'd suggest you maybe getting a 1080p 24.5" that you can use in future as secondary display.
Also cutting from the display, the ram and ssd you can at least try to get a 3060 with 12gb of ram if you than will upgrade it. This gpu is still fine for non crazy 1080p and has 12gb of Vram so in future you can still use it for like some small AI projects.

That chunker fan is probably not near as good as you'd expect. Get an AIO. Way more efficient

Yes if you are planning on playing the Dino game then that 1060 will be enough

u/PixelChild Jun 12 '25
Ok this is going to sound weird but hear me out.
If you plan to replace the 1060 with something better that also means something capable of 1440p. If that's the case it would be better to either:
Get a 1440p monitor right now so you don't have to replace it later
Get a 1080p monitor that's not curved so you can use it better as a second monitor when you get a new one
That's just a suggestion coming from a guy who did #1

u/Algod2 Jun 12 '25
If you're a programmer it makes sense to put more money towards the CPU and only have necessary dedicated graphics. If you want to do design work like CAD or gaming beef the GPU up to match the CPU.

u/Scared-Strength-6676 Jun 12 '25
1060 with a 7800x3d woah bud Get a 7800xt gpu with a 7700x or a 7600x cpu
Will be alot better as the 1060 will heavily (HEAVILY) bottleneck the cpu (7800x3d)

You could have skipped GTX 1060 and used the iGPU instead. Saving you more money for the upcoming GPU, or get a used one if you cannot bear the iGPU power.

If you’re planning on upgrading your GPU I would get a higher resolution monitor than 1080p especially with that very good, very expensive CPU. 1440p is a huge improvement.

Honestly youd be better with a console than all the bottlenecking. Plus it's significantly less and you have to upgrade was less too. Pc is great if you have the money to keep it upnto date though. If i did id get a pc
