Looking to buy a new pc. I plan on buying a curved monitor 21:9.

Games I am currently playing

Escape from Tarkov
Apex Legends
Total War franchise
Path of Exile

I want to be able to play on ultra no problem 70fps+

Eventually I will be streaming as well but I’ll upgrade if I need too later down the road.

Needs to have Wifi built in.

Paying 300fg to someone who makes this for me and I decide to go with the persons build

Stock cooling = smaller heatsinks/fans that come with cpus/gpus.

For example,
CPU:
Stock AMD cooler:

Aftermarket AMD cooler:

There's a difference in how cool it will run, and if you overclock (make it faster by using the same CPU), it inherently makes the base temperature higher, so people get aftermarket coolers.

This goes for GPU's too, or some people do liquid cooled GPU's just because they find it quieter.

CPU's are pretty damn easy to overclock, so I usually recommend getting an aftermarket CPU one at least just so you don't limit yourself.


My build (You can make it to the 1800 mark if you change SSD's with the one Arthur mentioned, the Samsung one is 30% faster. 2080S is about 30% faster than the 2060S as well, but both will last you years.
