Budget: $400-500 US
More specific use (what games, what programs): Diablo 3 mainly
Planned time until purchase:. Soon
Do you need an Operating System?: No
Do you have any specific preferred components?: I don't know much about computers but would the Ryzen 5 2600 worth getting?
Do you need a sound or wireless card?:. No
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: No
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: No
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs):. Philly

I just mainly would like to play d3 at Max settings without any fps drops. I also don't know if it's possible to watch YouTube/twitch and play d3 without fps dropping.


Thanks for all your help!

Bout the best you gonna get for 500 us an extra 100 on gfx card would go a long ways for future proofing.

Would agree, though I'd personally sacrifice/skim in a couple other areas and shoot for an r5 3600, D3 isn't very demanding.

Not enough performance jump to justify over 50% price increase IMO.

Could say the same about the dedicated GPU and 16gb ram, even the 500gb NVME, since all we're talking about is D3 and streaming some videos. I'm not saying I disagree, just throwing out a different opinion.

If it were me personally, I'd buy a used GPU with the r5 3600 and basically copycat the rest of your build, maybe swap the mobo with one that has early bios support for PCIE4.0 x16 and x4nvme.

Nothing to worry off unless you plan to use 4+ sata drive
