my computer is over 14 years old. it cost me 3500 euro in 2008
now my computer is slow for gaming games like battlefield 2042 does not run good on higher settings.
i use my computer mostly for music making and gaming new games..

now this is what i want to buy.. i have money but cant buy everything at once.

ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4060 OC​

ASUS PRIME Z790-A WIFI​

Intel Core i5-13500​

Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5200MHz 32GB RGB​

what you think of this?. . i know that if i buy cheaper in 3 years it could be working poorly and i dont want to replace every 3 years my computer.

It's a well balanced system, I wouldn't bother with the Z790 board unless you are getting a K CPU like the 13600K. I would normally recommend a B760 board for that CPU.

Something worth noting, the older Z690 and B660 motherboards can often be found at a discount on their original retail price. If your on a budget, they might not be bad way of saving money. There is no performance loss with the previous generation of boards. However you want one with bios flashback just in case it does not have the latest bios that supports 13th gen out of the box.

I'm not sure what prices and availability is like where you live, however I note that in the UK the ASUS ROG STRIX B660-F GAMING is around £100 cheaper than at release. Something like that wouldn't be a bad pairing with a 13500 and you'd still get a quality board.

For the stated uses, a single 500GB drive isn't enough.
The externals don't really count.
