Hi all,
I'm currently in the middle of planning a personal build, and some advice would be greatly appreciated.
Firstly, I'm Norwegian, so while the Norwegian PCPartPicker-lists doesn't contain all of the stores I would consider buying from, it should give an adequate idea of the price of each component in my market.
Secondly, I don't really have a budget per say. I have about 50 000 NOK (4800 USD) at my disposal, with the possibility of adding more if needed, but mostly I'm looking for advice in regards to how much of these funds I realistically would have to use before I start seeing noticeable diminishing returns.
I'm pretty set on a few items:
Monitor: Samsung Neo G9 (15 000 NOK / 1435 USD) This is kind of the type of monitor I've been wanting to try for a couple of years now, so unless you are really against it, parts of the available funds would go towards this monitor.
Case: O11 Dynamic EVO (1 790 NOK / 173 USD) Mostly because I think it looks really cool, and because I like having the option of reversing the case layout, seeing as the system will be situated on my left side.
I'm also leaning heavily towards a 360mm AIO, I've looked at the Arctic II, and also at something like the Asus Ryujin II (mostly because I find the LCD-screen cool, admittedly)
Other than that, I'm really open to advice; AMD5 vs LGA1700, Ryzen 7000-series vs 4000's of Nvidia, etc.
I'm currently running an i5 4690k and a GTX 980ti, so basically anything would be an upgrade, but it also kind of portrays an accurate image of me as a person who likes to buy a good system, that's low maintenance and can last for a longer period.
As previously stated, I'm kind of in a place where I feel like I could buy mostly anything, but don't want to use money on what would be considered overkill.
My use cases would be mostly gaming. (CSGO, some MMOs, DOTA, and maybe the odd AAA title here and there) I have a PS5 that I use to play most of my games like Hogwarts Legacy, Assassins Creed, God of War etc. but I don't want my PC to be a limiting factor in me joining some friends that suddenly start playing a new game, like i.e. Destiny 2 or something.
At this point I have been considering most of the newly released components, and with the prices listed below, found that maybe i7 13700K with a 4070 ti on a DDR5 motherboard is a good choice? (However, a good argument on your part could easily change my mind)
Some price examples of the cheaper alternatives (if any) of these models in my market:
CPU:
i5-13600k = 3 990 NOK (381 USD)
i7-13700k = 5 268 NOK (504 USD)
7700X = 4 295 NOK (411 USD)
7900X = 5 485 NOK (525 USD)
GPU:
4070 ti = 11 000 NOK (1052 USD)
4080 = 15 000 NOK (1435 USD)
RX 7900 xt = 11 000 NOK (1052 USD)
RX 7900 xtx = 14 000 NOK (1340 USD)
PS: there are usually no discounts on older gen GPUs, 3090 is the same price as a 4090
With these prices in mind, and with the prices you're able to find on other components on PCPP, what would your advice be?
Thanks in advance
