Hi all
I've been monitoring the pc-build market since january this year and came up with the build below.
However, I'm not sure if it really matches my uses (have a feeling I might be overpaying for what I will need).
If you would be so kind to share your thoughts about my build I would appreciate it a lot.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: +/- €2500 (the lower the better)
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
- Gaming (want to enjoy mainly single player games on high settings like The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, Star Citizen)
- Photography / video editing
- 3D (rendering)
Gaming is the primarilly focus of my build, but since I love to do photography and film those are important functions to consider.
I used to play a bit with 3D software (like animating) and pottentially want to practice this again in the future.
The main take away about the non-gaming functions is that they can run the required software smoothly.
The output like rendering for example can take a bit more time I don't mind that.

Main doubts:
- If I go for AMD's flagship, is XTX or XT better for my uses?
- Thinking of going for AMD's flagship for better longetivity before needing to renew my build, but not sure if this logic holds?
