Need advice on a gaming rig
Hello everyone,
Need a new rig soon for intensive gaming and some other things on the side. Main problem is that I'm lost when it comes to choosing a MOBO and case because of the dizzying choices.
Games:
* Paradox (all modern ones) * Total Wars: Warhammer III * X4:foundations * Cyberpunk 2077
Resolution: 1440p and 144Hz (won't change anytime soon so no need for the latest 4K cards)
Storage: aiming for at least 2To SSD for system and fast loading games/mods (got secondaries HDD for longer-term storage on the side in my old one)
Budget: 3K max (budget build suggestions welcome)
