You seem to really like strategy titles and city-builders. Those tend to need more CPU performance than GPU power. In almost all other cases, it's the other way around. So I would invest into an 8-core CPU if I were you. What is your budget for the build? While we're at the budget, do you need some extras like an optical drive or a card reader? |
I don’t see myself using optical drives. I may need to have a card reader because Nintendo Switch uses sd cards for storage, I need to have a card reader if I want to transfer save files between sd cards. I will not spend more than 1210.43$/987.19€/893.85£ for a PC (excluding display, keyboard, Mouse etc). |
Here's a little suggestion for you:
The GPU is a placeholder, since almost nothing was available (not even old gen), and what was came with a massive markup (cheapest 3070 cost 840€, for instance). So the choices were either this or a 1650, neither representative of the final build. In a month or two, you might get a 2060 Super if the prices come down again, otherwise the RX 5600 might be your best bet. There was one available on the site, but would have gone over budget by 4€, and I didn't want to cheap out on the other components...
Also, no OS yet included in this price since I wasn't sure if you had license lying around, and the fact they only have system builder version (full price with disc and all) while you can get cheaper versions for a fraction of their price.
I went with 32GB of RAM because RAM is the only thing that's actually really cheap right now, so better grab the chance while you can.
