€1000 PC (Gaming and potential work) before VAT

24-10-2022 07:36PM #1

Hi all,

Looking for some help with parts selection. I'll be buying strictly from caseking.de because I trust them and I can see a total before VAT. Essentially my step-father's sister can get the stuff without the VAT, so I'm going that route.

To give you an idea of what I'm looking at right now: https://www.caseking.de/save-cart/f952cc465c1208e3c2b1

Would appreciate any suggestions or changes

Thanks

I'd change PSU to Corsair RM650x: https://www.caseking.de/corsair-rmx-series-2021-rm650x-netzteil-650-watt-schwarz-necs-148.html

Case, I'd recommend the Raijintek Silenos MS: https://www.caseking.de/raijintek-silenos-ms-midi-tower-weiss-gert-098.html and populate it with Scythe Kaze Flex 120 fans

GPU wise, there's an Sapphire Pulse RX 6800 for 619 which should beat the 3070 in most titles: https://www.techspot.com/review/2174-geforce-rtx-3070-vs-radeon-rx-6800/

Thanks a mil

A 650w PSU will be alright for a 6800?

That is a very outdated and weak SSD. If you are on a tight budget, I would suggest going to at least a Samsung 980 (vastly superior) for just a few more euro.

But would really go for a modern PCIe 4 if you can.

If that's too much, there is also the Crucial P5 for less than £100 on Amazon (not available on caseking). While not the top tier PCI 4 gen, it is still an excellent option and kind of sits more than half-way between a top-tier PCIe gen 3 and top-tier PCIe gen 4.
