PC Build Help for First Timer

[poster79]

Hey Everyone! Wouldn’t mind some help on a PC build. This will be my first gaming pc, I have strictly played on consoles but am excited to upgrade to PC gaming! I am shooting for 1440 high settings, with maybe some 4k. I play mostly AAA titles-Cyberpunk, Red Dead, God of War to name a few. Enjoy RPG’s, adventure titles and some sports games. I’d like to keep my budget around $2200 give or take. I live in the US, would shop anywhere the price is right and am planning a trip to MicroCenter in the next week or so. I also will need to purchase a monitor which is included in my budget. Any help would be appreciated!! Thank you in advance!!

850W psu for that gpu so that you have a bit of headroom. Low profile RAM for a dual tower cpu cooler so that you don't impede said cooler.

I would agree with the build above. I don't like best buys prices (a bit steep). Also they said they had a 4070 in stock, went down there and was sold 5 days ago and they only had 6700s by xfx left. Ended up getting a 3080 EVGA ftw3 and super happy with that choice. Paid only $799 for it (new).

I've read that they or a co.called Inland have a page where you choose the components with guide program and they build the pc for $75.Of course, they are probably making more with retail prices of th major components. Be sure to say no to an hdd! SSDs instead
