White 1440p Gaming and Productivity Build
by Enoch Z Posted on: 1/18/2024
Build Description
This is my first PC build coming from a gaming laptop. I use it for school, gaming, and programming, dual booting Windows 10 and EndeavourOS. Some games I play are Minecraft, Cyberpunk, Valorant, and also VR games like BeatSaber. I got the CPU + MOBO + Ram combo and some other parts from Micro Center. One issue I've had with the RX 7800 XT was frame stuttering every few seconds, which I believe is due to a driver issue (on Windows). I fixed it by upgrading drivers and also turning off screen capture, but I hope it will be fixed in the future, as I'm also considering on switching to an RTX 4070 Super. I feel like I might've gone overkill with my specs but it'll definitely last me a good couple years before I need to consider upgrading.
Favorite Feature
I enjoy all aspects of this build including the aesthetics and performance. It can run any game in 1440p at max settings pushing anywhere from 150-300+ frames. I will consider upgrading the GPU power cable as it is pretty janky with the one coming with the Corsair PSU.
