So im a big gamer in general, and its been a while since i bought a new PC and have been happy with my 1080ti setup for years now, it still runs new games on decent settings, but i thought what the hell, let get a new one, ordered the following

NXT H7 flow case
32gb 6600hz RAM
4tb kingston 7300read, 6600wright gen4 M.2 hard drive
7900xtx Hellfire GPU
Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU
Alienware 32 4K QD-OLED Gaming Monitor - AW3225QF

should be good to go with that setup for quite a few years i reckon, i did think about hanging on for the new GPUs but i think i would have to spend a lot more than i did to get equal or better performance, plus i hate dealing with new GPUs and driver issues

I've heard that Ryzen processor hits the sweet spot for performance/price.

well it certainly hit the wallet

its the best processor on the market today that one, outperforms everything, i have previously been nvidia but after building my sons PC a year or so ago, i am AMD all the way now

the only downside is they sometimes need to tweak drivers for brand new game support, but i rarely buy games in the first few months they are released

Ram with Ryzen you really want 6000-6400 low cas memory, also keep it to 2 sticks not 4, the CPU is powerful, but the further away from 1080p you get the less use it is (GPU becomes the bottleneck and you've gone 4K). I would also get a 2nd smaller NVME for an OS drive, and, if you can delay the build, new GPUs are out at the end of the month...

yeah, 2 sticks of 16gb RAM incoming

i did think about the second drive, but went against it as the only benefit would be the segregation of the OS from games etc, and i cant see the benefit

also on the new cards, i saw that, but im never convinced about brand new GPUs, often with poor support and marketing bluff from companies

if i have to take a hit in a few months and upgrade, i dont mind
