Hello everyone,
I am about to build a new computer as my current PC is 6 years old and although it is performing alright I think it is time I upgrade. I would really appreciate some advice as I am not up to date with current components and would like to ensure I don't buy something unnecessary or something which won't be used to it's full potential.
What I want from a new pc - This pc will purely be for gaming. It will be very unlikely I will use this for anything other than gaming and browsing.
The main game I play at the moment is Hunt: Showdown however I often switch between games which is why I want this computer to be as well rounded and future proof as possible.
These are some of the components I have been looking at:
Cooler - Corsair H115 Pro (I have this already and will take it off my current pc as it is only 1 year old)
Case - Corsair 4000D Airflow Mid-tower case (have this already)
Motherboard - ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 CHIPSET ATX MOTHERBOARD (went for this over the E version as I do not need onboard wifi)
CPU - RYZEN 7 5800X EIGHT CORE 4.7GHZ (SOCKET AM4) PROCESSOR
GPU - Need help on this one, do I go 3080 Ti or 3090? When I have decided I will ask for further advice on the GPU forum
PSU - PROFESSIONAL SERIES HX 850W '80 PLUS PLATINUM' MODULAR POWER SUPPLY (CP-9020138-UK)
RAM - VENGEANCE LPX BLACK 32GB (2X16GB) 3600 MHZ AMD RYZEN TUNED DDR4 MEMORY DUAL KIT
Storage -
980 PRO 250GB M.2 2280 PCI-E 4.0 X4 NVME SOLID STATE DRIVE (for operating system)
970 EVO PLUS 500GB M.2 2280 PCI-E 3.0 X4 NVME SOLID STATE DRIVE (for certain games)
2TB BARRACUDA HDD 7200RPM 256MB CACHE INTERNAL HARD DRIVE (ST2000DM008) (for everything else)
OS - Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Are all of these components compatible or are there any obvious bottle neck issues?
Are there any bundle deals I may have missed?
Thank you for reading and I appreciate all advice, I apologise if this was a lot to ask!
Thank you in advance,
Xena
