Hello,
My current build is very old, and I have been wanting to upgrade for quite a while.
My thoughts were to buy a 5800X based system, but than the Alder Lake rumors came along. But after some thinking, the said "15-20% improvment" is relative to current gen zen 3 and not zen 4, so I'm again considering buying a 5800X based system.
Now since the GPUs are super expensive, I'm thinking about staying with my R9 390 Nitro with the next build, and later on buy a newer GPU, because I mostly play COD, GTA and RDR2, and I guess it's fine for now for the highest settings with a 1080P monitor (VG249Q). Maybe buying a 3060 but that depeneds on prices.
The build I'm thinking about is:
Ryzen 7 5800X
ASUS B550M-A (no wifi)
Corsair Vengeance 2x16GB CL16
Samsung 980 1TB (and adding my current Samsung 850 EVO 250GB just to have a bit more memory for softwares and such)
Cooler Master MasterBox LITE 5 ARGB
Corsair RM650 650W
and R9 390 Nitro
What are you opinions? Do you think it's worth waiting for the Alder Lake or just buy now the above build (which I think will be more than enough, especially after upgrading the GPU when needed)
Thanks
