Hey guys!

I just bought a 240hz screen and I ain't going back to my 144hz I see a too big of a difference. But my computer is getting some big dips with this high fps, so I need a new cpu at least. I game overwatch at 1080p low settings, 75% render (the setting will stay that way even if the build could go higher) and I also want my cpu build to be future proof for at least 240fps in the upcoming overwatch 2.
The ryzen 5600x looks really good and I like the low power consumption. But it is not in stock before April. The only ryzen in stock is the 5800x and it seems like a bad value? There is a Intel 10600k at 200£ in my country that seems like a good choice but is it future proof enough? I want this build to last at least the lifespan of overwatch 2 due in 2022, so my guess is im building for 5-10yrs or more. Since 2001 I have only really played rtcw(01-06), wow(06-18) and now overwatch, so I don't change game often and the only reason I need to upgrade is cause I got to experience that 240hz screen. But if the build does 360fps I might upgrade the screen at a later point in time :)
My current computer is i7 3770[email protected], gtx 1060 3gb, 16gb ram 1600. My dips goes down to 140fps with 80-90% load cpu and 60% load gpu and my avg is 190fps. If I go to training ground (small map, no real players) I get 360fps and 95% gpu load, cpu remains same 80-90%.
PS. I also do 4k video rendering in Vegas so bonus time cut there would be nice as as my rendering speed now is 10min video 1hr time.

My current buy list is this:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Prosessor
MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI
G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4 3600Mhz 32GB
Noctua NH-U12S CPU cooler
Noctua NT-H1 pasta
Corsair 4000D Airflow Midi Tower
Corsair ML120 PRO, 120mm Fan
WD Black SN850 500GB M.2 Ssd
Corsair Force Series MP600 1TB M.2 SSD
MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti GAMING X TRIO
Corsair TX650M, 650W PSU Gold

Damn that 550£ 24" TN 1080p monitor kinda seem like an even more expensive choice now that I see that upgrade list sight... Would it be insane to build this for my use? I am thinking about removing the 3060ti and just use the 1060 for now.
 
Hi.

As you are video editing then the 5800x mite be a better option with the extra cores. Mite as well get the corsair m2 and drop the western digital m2 to match both drive speed.

Corssir rm psu comes with a 10 year warranty the tx is 7 years and mite be worth getting 750w which will cover furter upgrades to a 3080.
 
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,360.06 (includes shipping: £12.30)​
​

A couple of changes but cant add the 3060 as OC dont stock it.
 
Thank you guys so much for the replys. Never thought of that with the psu but will definitely get the 10year warrenty. Seeing that the gpu is probably the only thing that might get upgraded over the years in that computer, 750w is probably more future proof yes.

I hear story's that the 5800x runs extremely hot. Will that cooler added in your list or the one in my list Noctua NH-U12S be enough?

The brochen 3 above is excellent for the money but if you want an all black cooler noctua nhd15 chromax or the be quiet aark rock pro 4 but depends on what case you get as there all 165mm tall.
 
I think the corsair 4000D Airflow looks like a good deal and I have my 3770k build in a older corsair that looks kinda the same and happy with that one so was thinking why not go corsair again :) But I was thinking my kid could get the old computer as he likes to play minecraft so no reuse. I have an noctuna nhd 15 on the 3770k and it just about fitted in that one, they are tall indeed! Really good cooler was just thinking maybe I did not need the size of it lol but I'll look on that brochen 3 also :)

The 2x 140mm fans in dfour build with that cabinet where should I preferably put them?
 
You may get higher fps with less dips going with an AMD card like the 6800 as those tend to perform better than nvidia cards at 1080p.
 
Ok thanks! I guess it must have been top he was thinking then since he added 2x 120mm also and if it comes with 2x 120 than maybe 3x 120mm front, 2x 120mm back and the 2x 140mm top :)

Thanks joxeon I'll look into that amd 6800 gpu
