My current spec isn't quite up to the job anymore, having waited for the new AMD processors to come out (and flop somewhat) i'm itching to pull the trigger on a new build.
Current Spec : i7-8700k, Asus ROG Strix Z370-F, 16GB DDR4, Sound Blaster Zx, Sapphire Radeon RX 6700 XT Nitro Gaming OC (I believe the powersupply is a XFX 850W 80 Plus Silver, which is about 10 years old). Samsung Odyssey G9 49inch 240Hz monitor (5120x1440).
Usage : Gaming (CS2, WOW, a few other random steam games), Media play back (i attached my 4k TV via a HDMI cable for watching SkyGO).
New Spec : My plan is to buy a 5090 in Dec/Jan when they are released. keep the ultrawide monitor, keyboard and mouse from my current rig. I might move the sound card across and get some desktop speakers. I'm undecided on the PSU and the Motherboard i picked out is currently Pre-Order, but others with similar features are all pre-order.
My basket at OcUK:
Any opinions and/or comments? I'm open to suggestions or optimisations.
