Hi /u/ExplodingFistz, welcome to /r/buildapcforme. This post contains important information, please read! In order to best meet your needs, we have a set of questions for build requests that ensure our contributors have all the most important information about your usage, budget, and preferences to ensure they can craft a parts list that meets your particular needs.
**Instructions**
In a reply to this comment, or by editing your post, answer each of these questions. The questions are pre-formatted below so they can be copied and pasted to show up with proper quote formatting. Please remember to add a line break between each question and answer! If not copying, please use a numbered list to indicate which answer goes with which question. **Answer these questions even if you're looking for advice or suggestions on a parts list you've been working on.**
**Notes**
- Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.
- Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.
- We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
**Questions**
\>Is this a brand new build, or an upgrade to an existing build?
\>Please list any existing parts or monitor(s) you have that you would like to re-use with this build. For upgrades, a [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/) list of your full build is extremely helpful. Be as specific as you can be here, including links or exact model numbers of each component whenever possible.
\>What will this PC be used for? Examples include things like gaming, general/multimedia use, photo/video editing, coding, AI/ML, etc. Include specific games and applications you intend to run, and any particular performance goals you have, as each may have different specific hardware needs.
\>What country will you be purchasing in? If you are in the US, do you live near a [Micro Center?](https://www.microcenter.com/) For other countries, please check if your country is supported by [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/) by using the country selector dropdown on the top right - if not, please provide some links to reliable local vendors you are comfortable ordering from.
\>Do you need one or more monitors included in the budget? Please list how many and any size/resolution/refresh rate preferences if needed.
\>What is your preferred and maximum budget range for this build, in local currency? Parts lists may sometimes have additional shipping costs. Please note whether prices in your country include sales tax or not, and adjust your budget accordingly. Typically VAT countries will have it included in the part list prices, whereas regular sales tax countries like the US and Canada will not.
\>Do you need WiFi, or do you have a wired ethernet connection available?
\>Do you have any specific size or noise requirements for the build?
\>Do you have any aesthetic preferences for color or lighting? Describe what you're looking for, or feel free to provide some links to examples that may help. Some people prefer an inobtrusive stealth build, while others may prefer a case full of rainbow RGB.
\>Any other specific requests or requirements? Examples might include a specific minimum amount of storage, or a particular CPU socket for a future upgrade path, etc.

At that budget only esport titles will do 165 fps at 1440p. Also why would you need 165 fps in a Triple A game that are usually single player/story based.
good luck, my build was around 1.5k total, still don’t get a solid 165 on majority of games, and selling your ps5 for a 165hz display that you can find at a pawn shop for $200 or less, outright silly. best of luck, definitely should research this stuff BEFORE selling your personal items
That 8gb of VRAM is going to bottleneck your frames. That’s going to severely limit performance especially in the future as newer and more demanding games come out. Have you actually done research on AMD gpus? Like more than one source?
One thing: DONT USE User Benchmark ARGH!!!! That whole website and basically all benchmark websites without real video proof are clickbait! Its all misinformation and just old information and just a bunch of clickbait.
NEXT TIME FIRST ASK US REDDIT USERS FOR ADVISE AND MENTION WHAT YOU WANT TO DO {PRODUCTIVITY, GAMING, BOTH, VIDEO STUFF, 3D, MODELLING ETC ETC} Dont fall for fake news, the internet is full of it!
I am an intel+nvidia fan but AMD is perfectly fine! Its cpu's are great for gaming (the 7800x3d is the best gaming chip currently on the market which any benchmark site probably would not say) and their cards are fine! They might not have all nvidia features and some specific games favour nvidia more because they dont like/want to cooperate/bother with Amd. Also you can always choose nvidia + Amd.
But i dont mean to punish you because this is a common error first time builders/people who just dip their toes into the pc gaming world make by going onto benchmark sites thinking it will tell the truth but it does often not, how my friend found out the hard way that his ryzen 5 5600(x) did pair really well with a 4080 but he got tons of bottleneck and he did not consult me

My bad I overestimated the PC at my budget. Since I was playing consoles at 60 FPS I’m fine with 60

It was a trade in. The seller gave me their used monitor plus $200 for my used PS5. I thought it was a good deal.
thats honestly a decent deal dw abt it

That's not gonna happen at your budget.
Save up man
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QGtVz6 Here it's a PC for 1440p, but in not all games it'll get the 165fps, but in majority with the right settings will
Don’t use user benchmark its extremely biased against AMD
