This is my first PC build, and I wanted some critique on my build list.
I intend to use it to play games in 4k, and also streaming over discord (and zoom) most of the games I play are not very graphically intense. (Civ 6, Valheim, Minecraft, Jackbox)
Also, I would like to run a Spigot server for my friends and their kids. We often have 6 people on at one time, and our record for concurrent players is 14. I would keep this running all day but turn it off at night.
I also intend to use it for light video editing and recording. Nothing serious, though.
Here is my build list:
Ryzen 7900
MSI-B650 Motar WiFi (shout out to Wendell for selling me on this)
2x32GB - 6000 CL 30 Ram
Lian Li mid tower case
850 EVGA power supply
Power color 6750XT
2 X 2 TB Samsung 980 pro (I know this is over kill, but for some reason they are only $180 at my microcenter)
So here is my main concern, will my computer be able to handle what I am hoping to do? I have a good internet connection, so I am not concerned about that being a bottle neck.
I think 1440p and 4k (especially 4k) are more GPU limited than CPU limited.
6750XT is a bit limited (depends on your target FPS and game settings though) even for 1440p.
I got 6800xt and can’t reach 144FPS with max settings. 4k would be difficult for me I think even at medium settings (1% low would be lower than 60FPS I guess)
I got a Minecraft server as well and I can say there is no use having too many cores (I got top 20 players). Spigot or Paper they don’t really scale with cores based on my observation. Good on RAM though.
So right now my suggestion would be get a lower core count CPU and get better GPU if you want to play 4k or really smooth 1440p.
Yeah, the 6750 XT could have some trouble reaching 4k at 144 Hz, but 4k 60 Hz or even 75 Hz should be fine. Though some games might require going from Ultra to High or even Medium.
The 7900 is decent for what you get for the money, though I would only get it if you plan to do more with your PC than game. The 7700 could save you a few bucks here and is more than enough to cover gaming for the next few years.
Here is the PC Part Picker list based on your descriptions, could’ve gotten some of them wrong:
