This may be waaaay over kill, but i am not sure if i am going to try to pick the parts and build myself, or if not, go through Origin for a custom build.
But is it possible to 'future' proof a build for upgrading down the road? I'm looking some what of a 'high' end build, GTX3090 and a suitable processor (AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X 32-Core or Intel Core i9 10900K 10-Core 3.7GHz ).
the idea being this setup will last awhile, but be able to upgrade CPU or processor in a few years?
Full disclosure, but i know nothing about the inner workings of a PC and the components, but the more i read the more confused i get....
Like intel's next gen of chips maybe having a different socket size vs AMD which seems to stick to the same size? So if went with a high end mother board now, be able to use that in future still.....
but now i also see stuff coming out with ramm and DDR5 in the futee.... so would stuff like that really kill the whole idea of building something that may be overkill now (full tower vs mid tower, bigger power supply etc) to allow for upgrades down the road vs starting over with a while new pc?
My current pc i have had for years from dell, did one round of upgrades when the hard drive crashed, but it from what i'm told its not worth it to even bother upgrading due to the age of everything.
Use would be working from home and logging in remotely to work, wireless home network, comcast for internet (lan?)
typical home PC, internet, pics/videos, music, potentially autocad and revit use, Microsoft Flight simulator, DCS and other high end gaming.
would an EATX vs an ATX mother board be overekill? (and looking at as if cost wasn't an issue on the mother board to over build it vs keeping cost in mind and only buying a mother board to fit the build with no future upgrades in mind?)
i'm not even sure that question makes sense.....?
