First pc build
Hello! I currently game on a laptop and am looking to build my first PC for video editing in davinci resolve and streaming games. I’ve learned that this might be the worst time to build and also that prices are only going to get worse as time goes on so I figured I would pull the trigger.
My budget is $1,500 USD. (Ideally I would like to spend closer to $1000 but that may not be feasible) I play 1080p single player games like final fantasy VII remake, baldur’s gate, expedition 33, and indie titles. I’m considering this $500 bundle I saw on micro center and would like some advice as far as a pc build.
I have a very basic understanding of parts. I just know that it is recommended to use at least a ryzen 7 cpu and 32gb ram for davinci resolve which is why I chose this bundle. I would also need a 2TB ssd. For a graphics card, will the nvdia 5060 ti be enough for gaming/editing in 1080p? Should I be worried about CPU/GPU bottleneck when choosing a graphics card?
Also:
Does it matter the brand of fans I get? I don’t mind noise just not fighter jet loud.
What power supply wattage should I look for? I know power supply is important when it comes to being able to upgrade in the future.
Like I said, I know next to nothing about pc parts so any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
