Hello - new poster but have completed two past builds. Need strategy and trend suggestions.
I do not need high end processor or GPU as this system will run 3-4 servers, works as my desktop/workstation and primary gaming rig BUT I don't play any new or high end games. The idea behind this build is when prices drop on the core-i9 14th gen a year or two from now, swap it out. Same with the GPU. Add more RAM later if needed also. Want to keep this for minimum 5 years.
Need lots of memory for Adobe apps leaving 2 dimm slots for more later, decent storage for movies and music (server) and decent access speed plus reliability and good cooling.
Lots of USB desired also plus have analog surround speakers and the ASUS mobo seems to accommodate those.
Will run 1x 4K 32-inch monitor dp, 1x1080p 32-inch monitor hdmi on GPU and one 55-inch TV 1080p hdmi off mobo as 3rd monitor for videos.
Money really isn't a limiting factor but I don't need to put in top performers in every area either. I am getting caught up in the custom case and know it is completely unnecessary but ooh shiny and all that.
Planned build:
Asus TUF GAMING Z790-PRO WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard
Intel Core i5-14600KF 3.5 GHz 14-Core Processor
Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler
Corsair Vengeance RGB 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
Western Digital Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Western Digital WD_BLACK 10 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive
NVIDIA Founders Edition GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB Video Card
Corsair RM850e (2023) Fully Modular Low-Noise Power Supply (850W) - ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0
Case from Star Trek -- https://mycherrytree.com/collections/star-trek™/products/the-artifact-borg-cube-atx
Any swaps beneficial to this build?
Is the idea of upgrading the CPU later solid logic or will prices stay pretty stable? Same with GPU - those spike in prices pretty fast. Since I don't shop more than once every 4-5 years I don't know price trends or reliability issues.
Thanks
