I'm building my first PC in years. I did some research on Tom's Hardware in an attempt to select some decent components. I'm looking to build a decent gaming PC that is going to last several years. It appeared that the i5 was better than some of the i7s listed, so I went with that, and I think the GPU was pretty good based on value/performance.
The better GPUs were a lot more money and provided only a minimal performance boost as far as I could tell. By that I mean the difference between the 3060Ti and the 3070Ti was nearly double the price, and only went from about 90 FPS to 110 FPS. I can't imagine I'm ever going to play games that get above 100 FPS. I play American Truck Sim, Snow Runner, Mud Runner, Spintires, and all 3 Witcher games. Not much else right now. I don't play and FPS/Shooter games.
This is what I came up with, and I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions:
