High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

Just a heads up, the RTX 3000 series is rumored to be launched later this year and will (again, according to rumors), be remarkably better than the old generation. If you can wait, it might be worth it to get these instead.

Other than that, I would look into getting the 3600 instead of the 3600x if you are looking to save money. The performance is not that much worse and it saves a couple of dollars.

Something else that I would look into is getting a better keyboard. Whether it's right now or later down the line, this is probably one of the most underrated pieces to a good setup. Remember, the keyboard is what you interact with. A good, mechanical (and not "mechanical-feeling") keyboard will be a good purchase. The same goes for the mouse, but the keyboard is more important imo. Maybe a good wrist-rest as well, if it doesn't come with the keyboard. I recently bought one of those made from a gel material, and the difference between that and the included plastic one (or even more, nothing at all), is night and day. For $20-ish, it's a great investment in comfort.

(Keyboards are easy to upgrade/replace, in case you want to save your budget for the system itself.)

Thinking of things that haven't been suggested yet;

At some point (not when you get your computer), get a hard drive. External, internal, whatever is cheapest but with a good amount of storage. This is so you can record your streams internally and push it to YouTube to help promote your streams.

In my opinion, you can go ahead and get a Ryzen 5 2600, which is a great CPU and because of streaming encoding benefiting from the new RTX encoding process since release, your GPU will be doing the encoding work. This means you don't need a lot of processing use for your CPU now, and you don't need to pay extra for your motherboard.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V7bxJb

I would then use the remaining money you were going to pay for anyway to get a $80 microphone setup, which you can do really well with.

Now for the whole "streaming" concept.

You can get this: Behringer Audio Interface, UM2, at retail @ https://www.gear4music.com/us/en/Re...ehringer-U-Phoria-UM2-USB-Audio-Interface/POV

You can grab yourself some RCA cables over at places such as eBay.

and a microphone such as a BM700 from eBay.

That all would cost you maybe $80 from the leftover stuff from not getting a Ryzen 5 3600/X (the motherboard already in place was 3000 ready, so chose cheaper).

The whole purpose of using RCA cables is, if you look behind the Behringer audio interface (image four of the gear4music), you have two outputs on the left. You can use a RCA cable 2 channel into one input through your computer to convert your microphone input into two channel (stereo mode.) This would benefit you because you could end up using a software called:
https://line6.com/pod-farm/

It's like a software base version of a goXLR, saving yourself about +100$. Comes with noise gate, equalizer, compressor, anywhere.

You can do a lot with $80 worth of audio gear, if you know what you're doing.

Im not realling looking for streaming rigs rn, just mainly the gaming side/workshop part of the pc. I will buy streaming stuff after (with other budget-200$?). BUT FOR now, im trying to make this part list for 1000 - 1100$[DOUBLEPOST=1593176595][/DOUBLEPOST]And another thing is, according to my cousin, 3600x has better CPU performance (when it comes to multitasking?), that's why i chose that one, or i always wanted 3600.

There is really not that much difference between the 3600 and the 3600x.

Don't recommend the 3600X, its not worth the 2% extra performance. Instead use that money and maybe get a cheaper case, like the NZXT H510 and get 32gb of 3600 for $130, here is a link. (NO RGB Though)
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JB...-2-x-16gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c19d-32gvrb

Also, HIGHLY recommend an X570 motherboard.

I have selected this parts but I don't know if they are worth the price (because of the corona virus and prices increasing).

However, im trying to make this less than 1100$, idk if it's possible, but if you can help me please do :)

This is my first build.

Thank You.

You should go for the 3600, but if it's only for gaming try the i5 10600kf

You should also look for a cl16 kit of 3600mhz memory. They have one by g.skill, (the same brand), for about $80

Also, I would definitely recommend a better aftermarket cooler like a noctua d15.

The PSU isn't that great as well.

I believe there are also cheaper nvme options for storage or around the same price

Any opinions on this???

Unfortunately, the motherboard is unavailable.

Bit low on the SSD, but if you're not planning to do a lot of gaming (or are one of those rare people that can have only 1-2 big games installed at a time) it should be fine.
You'll have to be sure to make it so that anything large in filesize is put on the HDD though, the 100GB or so you'll have left after all your software will fill up remarkably fast, especially if you're recording something.
