I have a question for the experts and those who are more in touch with the current technology out there now as well as what's coming in the near future. Are there any compelling reasons to delay my new build until later this year? New/better products on the horizon in 2024? I tend to use my computers a minimum of 5 years, so it has to be somewhat future proof.
My current rig was my first build 5-6 years ago: Z370 Aorus Gaming 7, 8700k, 32GB, GTX 1080 TI.
My proposed new build: Not 100% locked into these parts, just a starting point.
Proc: i7-13700k (I've read about the differences, AMD vs. Intel (power consumption, heat, etc.), but I prefer to stick with Intel)
Cooler: Lian Li Galahad II Performance OR NZXT Kraken Elite 360 (I know there's less expensive good ones, but I love the RGB pumps on these, and willing to pay for it)
MB: Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite X AX
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32GB 7200 CL 34 (also considering 6400 CL 32 if 7200 is overkill)
Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB x 2
Case: Corsair 5000D Airflow
GPU: Open (I haven't read good reviews on RTX 4070 Ti's, so I'm waiting it out for any RTX 4080 reductions, IF it ever happens)
PS: Corsair RM850x (also considering EVGA Supernova 850 G7)
PCPartPicker
I mainly game in 1440p using as close to ultra settings as possible while streaming my gameplay, discord, several tabs open while maybe having a movie running on one of the 4 monitors. It's my everyday computer, so I run some productivity programs sometimes but nothing too intense.
Suggestions are always appreciated, but that's kind of what I'm thinking on my new build.
Considering what might be launched or improved later this year, would it be wise to wait it out or start moving forward in this build.
Thank you
