[letrasxz]

Hello, so I’m new to this topic but I wanted to build my own pc most likely for gaming and I've done a lot of research to learn more and to see what can I do with a budget of 900/1000€.
I currently live in Portugal and so, here is what I’ve done:

Budget: 900€ - 1000€

Approximate Purchase Date: Probaly the start of nexth month (May)

Use Case: Mainly Gaming

Are you buying a monitor: In the future but not a priority right now.

Your Monitor Resolution and desired frame rate: 1920x1080 , 144Hz (i think)

Overclocking: Still don't know much about it? Can someone explain it very basically?

Any help / advice would be very much appreciated! Any recomendation or anything could be lowered for more money saving?
Thank you.

Since you're new to building, avoid overclocking. It takes a fair bit of research and learning, then a fair bit of fiddly work, and often for minimal benefit—with the downside of introducing extra instability and a variable which must be considered during future troubleshooting… many helpers will tell you to turn off the OC and see if that cures whatever problem you're having.

If you get bitten by the building bug and become an enthusiast, then look at OC later as a kind of hobby thing.

There's not much to gain by overclocking anymore. I used to do it, but todays CPUs and GPUs run pretty much overclocked out of the box.

One thing to consider is maybe undervolting. Makes your CPU and GPU run a bit cooler, so less fan noise.

Just remember to set your XMP, and you'll be fine.

Thank you so much for your reply!
So besides OC, seems everything okay with the rest of the build?

Do you have any recomendation or guide to set my XMP?

I'm not a hardware guy, someone more knowledgeable should be along soon. I scan hardware articles and videos, that's about it.

I considered overclocking back in the 00s, so I researched it back then, and have kept a mild interest since

It's easy. Just go into the BIOS and turn it on. Could also be called EXPO or DOCP, depending on the brand of the motherboard.
