Hey guys my old rig died, and I need a new one to keep working properly from home, but it's been ages since I dealt with hardware (it was like 5 o 6 years before my first post here, and that one was 8 years next February), so I need some help.
I can wait a bit (since Black Friday is coming) but I want to be prepared for when it comes so I know what to buy.
What I need
Case - I'll be going with a Fractal Design 7 (any specific model that I should buy to fit a 3080/3090?)
Power Supply - Fully modular if possible - should also be able to handle the 3080/3090 upgrade next year.
Optical Drive - can read/write BlueRay
MOBO - Compatible with a 3080/3090 since I'm planning on upgrading it next year
RAM - 32 GB DDR4
CPU - Ryzen would be preferred
CPU Cooler
M.2 NVME SSD for Windows
Storage (3-5 TB should be fine).
What I have
ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 OC Dual-Fan 1582/1771 MHz 8GB GDDR5
500 SSD - I have Windows here but as stated in the bottom post, it wouldn't work well.
Monitors and all other peripherals.
Thanks for the assistance once again.
Cheers,
