Hey guys!

I want to build a new rig for gaming. I Mostly play mobas and WoW but want to be ready for the future and new games that might come to interest. Maybe the old computer has mad me not want to try new things? :P

Will play 1080p 144hz when I buy a new monitor. Im currently on a 120hz one.

Thankful for any input you can give me :)

Here's what I've come up with so far: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/cKPD9J

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/p6fc8Y - Slightly over budget but worth the money IMO
If you really need to stay under 1200 go with a 2060 instead.

Dont get what's in the link. P400 is nice, but once you get to decent level hardware it will not have as good of cooling as similarly priced competitors. IMO phanteks is more for aesthetic than performance.

Yeah I read some reviews about it now that you said that. Seems the air intake i front is bad.

Started looking at some other cases. Any inputs there?

Fractal Design (unless you're willing to spend over $100 on the case).
Meshify C is a nice one. It's got nice build quality, easy to cable manage, good airflow, and looks good to me.

If you like the p400 maybe take a look at the p350x. They fixed the airflow issues and looks are similar with some rgb bling.

Else nzxt h500 or as mentioned above the meshify c are good options as well. Fractal is a swedish company btw. I got the case myself and I really can recommend it.

Wouldnt recommend the b450 aorus m. Awful vrm temps and overall no good components.

550 watt psu will be plenty and save you some money.

You probably wont even.notice the difference between the 970 evo and something like a crucial mx500 but you pay double the price for it.

Moreover I would pick a different cooler. Something like arctic freezer 33 esports one is cheaper and will perform better.

Or get something like the intel 660p for the same price as an mx500 and have an nvme drive...
