Spec for a Gaming PC

Hi

just put this together for a gaming PC, would,like any comments please

went for a good verified PSU as the PC is on a LOT of hours, so efficiency I believe is important

hope to transfer my W10 from my previous PC, but if that fails will buy another key

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

Case: NZXT H510i ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair TXM Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
Monitor: Asus VG248QE 24.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor

thanks in advance

As far as the OS goes....buy the retail version it's twice the price but it's transferable. For the PC.....nice solid build.

Looks good, should game great

Are you referring to the Ryzen 8 core ? About a £100+ more, but from various reviews it seems the gain for gaming is not great....maybe as a future proof idea maybe, looked at I5 9600 also, one review site said the I5 was far better than the R5 but other sites scored the R5 higher.....what idea did you have ???

not decided on the monitor yet, want a 1440 144Htz.....an ideas ?

although like the look of ( but they out of stock was £259, prices now gone up everywhere else, ) not the best time to build a PC, once the lockdown is over, maybe prices will actually come down

Continuing on, the PC build, is there any disadvantage whatsoever in getting a 1440 144hz monitor re game FPS than getting a 1080 monitor ? IMO the 1440 has to be the best choice, but don’t want to limit the game FPS comments please

Hmm...

Don't forget about Wireless-AX for that build.
Dies the motherboard support onboard wireless?

I am certain it doesn’t....but will be used 100% Ethernet, so not an issue

thanks

Asus is great - but a 27 inch is only a bit more. Go for it.
What about a 4K monitor?
