Hello people,I decided after some years of absence from pc gaming to build a new pc.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D(4,2)
Sapphire Radeon Rx 6700 XT Pulse 12 gb
Corsair Desktop Ram Vengeance Lpx 32 gb(2x16)
Samsung Ssd980 Nvme M.2 1 tb
Be Quiet!Psu Straight power 11 series 750W 80+ gold
Gigabyte motherboard B650m DS3h
Sharkoon Midi ATX Tower TG4 RGB Modi tower
Be quiet! Cooler Dark rock pro 44


Tell what you think of the pc I am trying to build.Do you think that maybe I should buy an older CPU and buy a better GPU? The pc will be used mostly for gaming and Autocad.

Thanks in advance fellow members

"delaying" or saving money?
just being distracted or afraid to do it isn't the same as investing in the future.
Dude I really don't want to raise my budget any higher.Its not that I can't,I just don't want to spend more on a pc.
buying a system that can just maintain a decent fps now with medium>high settings is not going to be functioning well with the most demanding games even 2 years from now.
I told you I don't have prob to tone down the settings in some games in order to play.I don't care about playing everything at Ultra super high.Even if I start having problems I will drop down to 1080 p and have fun for another 3 years


I told you before,I am just searching for the best value out of my money.This Pc here costs around 1500 euros.If I have to spend more money for a pc I will simply not buy one to be honest because I think it doesn't worth all that money,for me at least.I know pc gaming is expensive,I was a pc gamer back when I was in college but I don't see the reason building a gaming pc at the price of buying 4 or 5 ps5 to be honest.

if all you do is play lower performance games or more demanding games with lower settings and lower resolution;
why don't you just stick to consoles and get a cheap tablet or laptop for your computing needs?

you would be saving money all around going that route.
are there games that you're interested in that are just not available for consoles?

Because I like playing games at pc for some reason.Used to be a console player untill I was 15 years old,psx,PS2,x360.Then I switched to pc gaming and found out that I like it more(mods,certain games like rimworld,phoenix point and many more that cant be played on consoles,better online community in any game,modded games etc,).
I tried going back to consoles when I bought my PS4 but found out that console doesn't cut it for me anymore.I even gave it to my father for him to play now that he is retired lol.

I can't find hidden gems like ftl,dwarven fortress rimworld on a damned console.Or play League and Apex with my friends.

always seems funny to me now to see older adults playing games.
and it is very common.

the same ones that b*tched at us all through the 80s & 90s for wasting our childhood and time on stupid games are now pretty prominent in the gaming scene.
He is playing since the 90s to be honest.His first game was Mgs1 on psx.


This forum has been very helpful,thanks everyone for the fast replies.Right now I think the best choice is x7600 with 6800 card.
