Currently have the following spec
- i7 6700
- Gigabyte GA-Z170M-D3H
- GTX 1080ti
- 64GB Ram (overkill I know)
- Samsung 1TB 850 Evo
I'm planning on keeping the GPU for the time being as the current prices are fairly high and the availability is still poor. Think it should last for a few more years anyway
For the new setup, I was looking at the i7 11700. I have never oc'd any of my CPUs and don't plan on doing it now either do no point going for the k unless I'd be missing out on something else? Also the non k seems to be 65 tdp which should in theory produce less heat?
MB wise probably something like the Gigabyte Intel Z590M Micro-ATX Motherboard or Asus Prime Z590M-Plus. Then m2 SSD will probably end up being another samsung drive (TBC) unless they've gone down hill?
Any thoughts/recommendations? I've never followed AMD hence why I'm sticking to intel yet again but if AMD is a better option I'd also consider it. This PC will be used just for gaming
