heres what i put together, not sure if good or not: https://newegg.io/abfcdcb

Plan on playing Apex Legends in 200+ FPS while streaming on twitch. i have a 244hz BenQ 1080p monitor so trying to get close as possible to that refresh rate.

O.O

That setup will get you about 180 to 240 frames on 1080p high settings for apex. Im not sure how much lower it will go when streaming.

to high. this setting 700~800$.

anyone have a better suggestion build?

and is a RX6800 worth $489?

I'd recommend 6700xt instead for 350. 6800 is slight overkill for 1080, 6700xt performs in between 3060ti and 3070 and should get you the performance you desire at a much better price. Make sure to enable memory share on bios settings. Also, tower coolers aren't bad, aio would let you overclock your cpu much better and safer and runs quiter too. Cheers

gratz!
