Question New PC after 6 years for about 2500$.

[McFlannel]

I am currently planning to build a new pc but I’ve not kept current on components. Is this list overkill if I want it to last another 5-6 years. Im looking to spend around 2500$.

If you are going to be just gaming, you are wasting money on that CPU. If you are purely gaming the 7800x3d is the fastest gaming CPU. I would recommend this: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GyYYdH

With no information about what the PC will be used for impossible to answer.


One thing wrong for sure is buying 2 separate kits of memory.

Sorry should have said it is for mostly gaming.

I figured, hence my recommendation above.

What monitor. This makes a big difference in the video card needed depending on the resolution.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

a bit over the budget as this includes a 4090 for 4k. go for 4080 if its 2k gaming.

the case comes with front panel type C and 4 included fans. It also got a digital display for stat readout.

same for the cooler. digital readout for CPU temp.

look for random read writes in SSD, the acer predator has pretty good performance

Everything looks good except for the power supply.

I would go with the Corsair HX1000 instead.

Much more quiet and produces less heat with it being 80+ Platinum rated.

I did some tweaks to your list, you can get a more powerful gaming system for a bit less.

I would probably go for a 7900xtx over a 4070 ti. Or maybe a 7900xt.

 

[helper800]

Swap out the 4080 for the 7900 XTX if you dont care about RT/DLSS. This build has more put into the non-core parts of the build than others to make for a solid future upgrade path.

[Why_Me]

No idea what your resolution is and that's always good to know. A few things, air cooler > AIO in regards to longevity. You want 2x32GB, not 4x16GB with these Intel 13 gen cpu's. Games take advantage of low latency RAM (CL30 > CL36) not to mention the RAM you have chosen is AMD EXPO meant for an AM5 build. 500GB SSD for your o/s and 2TB SSD for storage. You can always add more storage with a 2.5" SSD later on. The only time a 13900K is recommended is for a productivity build. That cpu not only runs hot but it has the same amount of P-cores as the i7 and those are the cores that matter when gaming. This build down below is meant for gaming at 1440P/2K.
