I am building a gaming/home office comupter for my sister.

She loves to play diablo 4, she will also be using this for 3d design and 3d printing.
She will also be using adobe creative suite, autoCad, light video editing software and ofc be ready for current gen AAA gaming at 1440p or 4k. also may get into streaming.
I am recommending a current gen 7000 or 9000 series AMD Ryzen cpu. it would be nice to fit the 7950x3d in the budget.

budget: 2,500.00$US (would love to get the overall cost to around 2,300.00$).
purchasing within the next week.
she prefers to have an Nvidia Rtx video card.
she wants to have this tower displayed on her desk and wants it to be colorful.
she would like an all white build.
mouse and keyboard or monitor not necessary, but looking for a 3440x1440 144hz+ monitor to go with it.
95050 zip code


I put this together quick to get an idea but not set in stone.

will be donating Fg to those who take the time to put their take on it.

Looks good, but I’d recommend 64GB of ram since it sounds like she may have a lot of programs open at once. Not sure if you’d want to lower the GPU to a 4070 super, or downgrade the CPU to a Ryzen 7 to reach your price point

If they can wait a couple months they might be able to snag a good discount during the holidays or from a potential release of the RTX 5000 series dropping old cards lower

With another ssd u could also safe few dollars. Since Samsung is not the fastest/best anymore. I mean I would recommend it or a Seagate or wd. Using all 3 on pc or Ps5. The wd should be a bit less and nowadays u have few more options with less known names for way less money. Lexar for example making good parts for good money. 2 tb for arround 100.
But the safed money I'd use on another Mainboard maybe. Even if it's not bad but I'd not trust it more than one or two years. Graphic like the post before said. Personally I'm using a 4050 mobile and it's able to play all game on wqhd+ on medium to high settings and not even getting it to its max. For the 3d work should be better to go 4060 or 4070. CPU I'd take too on a gaming beast but if it's only d4 and working everything else should be fine too. Using a 12 th Gen i5 atm I'd upgrade it to 12th or 13th i7 for working or similar ryzen. None of the called cpu should reach any limit and yes to 64 GB rams depending on how fast u go. Better cpu and board allows more and better rams with better timings.

Screen ID aim a bit higher maybe 170 180 hz for future and being more Comfortable with the gfx power. Aoc and asus are selling very nice stuff in this area and have still low prices also they support Nvidia nicely

Sorry for double post pushed wrong button on my phone 😬

yeah I should have gone with a x670 or x870,the 8000 chipsets just released a day after I made the purchase. could have done better there for sure but this board that I got was a lil cheaper and should do the job.
