After putting my four kids through uni I can now finally get around to a bit of me time, but the world has passed by very quickly during that time, including my knowledge of most things PC related and I'm now left a little lost with where things are now. Looking at some of the latest spec stuff you can get today, I'm almost embarrassed to reveal the spec that I've been running for the past 9 years:
Mobo: Gigabyte Z170XP-SLI-CF (Skylake)
CPU: Intel i5 6600K @3.5Ghz
Memory: 16GB DDR4
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 970
PSU: Corsair RM 850x
In fairness to the set-up, it's been a very loyal servant, never missing a beat and handling games better than I had expected during our relationship together. But It's long past the time it was put out of my misery.
I'm looking for something that is as future proof as possible. Something that I can upgrade/update to keep it good for another maybe 8 -9 years.
I intend to use it to play as many AAA games that I can on full bore. (I've got a lot of catching up to do)
I also want to be able to use it for video rending , streaming and all that comes with that.
I shall be getting a 4K monitor so looking for the best bang for my buck visual wise.
So I've got this in mind. What do you think? Is is a good choice to achieve the above?
I'm guessing the site doesn't allow me to link to the site I'm buying from so here it is in analogue:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X. 8 Cores | 16 Threads. Base Frequency 4.5GHz. Boost Frequency 5.4GHz
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100x RGB ELITE Liquid Cooler 120mmmm Fan.
MOBO:Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX. AMD B650 Chipset
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti 12GB GDDR6X VRAM
MEMORY: Kingston Fury Beast RGB 32GB DDR5 5600MHz. 2 x 16GB Modules. Latency CL36.
SSD: Samsung 980 Pro M.2-2280 2TB. PCIe 4.0x4 NVMe/M.2 2280- 7000MB/s Read/500..
Storage: I'm not sure. Should I go for two SSDs. One for the OP system, one for my games and stuff?
Cost: £2,308 ($2,935)
Do you need any more info? Is it any good?
Thank you
