Hey guys, hope you're all well.
My aim: to build a gaming pc that plays 4k at some level, and has good future proofing
The parts:
Motherboard: x399 AORUS gaming 7
Cpu: ryzen threadripper 1920X 12 core
Ram: corsair vengeance LPX 2x8 gb 3000mhz
Gpu: msi radeon 5700 8gb
Psu: corsair tx650 m
The storage: Western digital green m2 ssd 256gb
And seagate barracuda 1 tb 7200rpm internal hdd
Case: Corsair carbide 275r
Please give your opinions, in general and on component compatibility: I know the ram is 3000 mhz and motherboard without oc is 2333. And I've got 2 sticks for quad channel board. If I've researched correctly: ram will just work at the slower speed and you can use dual channel config for a quad channel board.
A few considerations I would like your opinions on:
1) I could go with a good b450 motherboard. And a ryzen 5 3600. Then I have 200 quid that can be put into the gpu and get a rtx 2070super. The future proofing just takes a colossal hit, ill have to change cpu and motherboard sooner
2) The Ps5 and xbox are going to have much better gpu than this on arrival. 12 teraflops xbox, 10 ps4. Gtx 2070 super is 9 terraflops. This card probably about... 7? Games will be made to Ps5 and xbox specifications. This Gpu might get outdated really quickly?
3) Wonder what you think of my plan: I was thinking, because 5700 has 8gb of vram. In a year, 2 years, 3 even. Get a second 5700, they'll be much cheaper then aswell. and crossfire it. 14gb is plenty for 4k.
What you guys saying? Thanks very much! Sheraz
Edit. Budget aiming for £1k , but flexible if its worth it. Based in UK
