Hello ! First of all, I'm from Portugal, the reason why you'll see my ************ as germany, is because most of the things I need are cheaper there.
Useful Information :
The pc will be bought at the end of November to take advantage of any black friday deals I can.
What I need here is advice because I'm extremely paranoid that I won't be able to get the right parts or the best price for performance.
Budget // Build theme // Future proofing :
The budget of the build should be maximum 1000€ (Can go over if it's a huge upgrade, like "Oh get the new 5600x it's going to be amazing, etc) but the cheaper the better. The objective is for it to be "future proof" or "upgradable" as I go and set money away for it, the 980 is a used card I will buy from a trusted seller and it's to serve as a placeholder until mid/ends of 2021 for the pc to receive a 3060/70/80. The budget does NOT include the 3000 series card which I will buy later on
I like RGB but mainly to set it to white and see the case at night, so , I leave it to your expertise and discretion on RGB parts.
Why the 980 ?
With the 980 the goal is 1080p 60fps Max/High graphics on most games, willing to take the medium graphics on later games to be released yet, when I get the 3000 series card ( or the new navi ) the goal will be 1440p + higher refresh rate down the line.
What will I do with this pc ?
- Gaming : World of Warcraft, older games, AAA newer, story driven games like Cyberpunk , witcher 3 , new cods , etc
- Audio Editing : I'm an audio editor and mixer, I haven't had any issues using Pro Tools, Reaper, RX plugins, Nuendo, etc on my current laptop (GE702PE Apache Pro) so I figure I won't need anything better than the 3600 for that
- Video Editing : When needed, it's very very light and not even worth mentioning
What do I need from you ?
I need your opinion on my partlist, your recommendations, your questions, etc I need to be ready and happy with my build, I currently am, but , I figured I would ask here. If you have any questions, I will gladly answer them. Thank you for taking the time to read this and help me out.I believe information and knowledge are NEVER enough and I will stop at nothing to minmax this build.
