 Topic: New to builds please checkPosted: 15 Feb 2021 at 12:08am |

As I stated in the subject. I am new to PC gaming, I want to build a pc that I can use for cyberpunk, Video editing and VR gaming. I’m curious if this build is enough or is it overkill? Am I forgetting anything? It is a little pricey but that’s okay as I will use it for years to come. Any advice or tips will help!

You might want 32GB of RAM for video editing.
The storage is a mess. The SSD is SATA. Get a 500GB Firecuda and your primary drive will be 5-10 times the performance. You would do better to have a Samsung 860 EVO for Storage Set 2 for your games library. You can start with 1GB and add more as you go. if you need some extra $$, the MSI Gaming Pro Carbon is a very fine motherboard.

You're very welcome!
I didn't say, but the 3900XT will be a solid choice for your use. With either motherboard, you could upgrade to a 5000 series proc if you ever felt the need, but I think you'll stay happy for a long while.
