New gaming pc spec help

I'll probably stick with the 9700x then.

Funnily enough I have my 1050ti because there was barely any graphics cards about at the time and paid over the odds!

Might have to be the 7800xt unless the 7900gre comes back in stock. I'd have to ask them

It's most unlikely the gre will be back in stock, AMD announced they stopped producing these cards back in December, and they were selling out everywhere at the time

Thanks, yeah I think I'm pretty limited on graphics card, depending on the new ones and costs but heard good things about the 7800xt.

The only question I have left is whether the Gigabyte eagle WiFi 7 (socket am5) Ddr5 is overkill for this build?

You're referring to the X870 version? The main thing you're paying for with that board is USB4, though it does have PCI-E 5.0 graphics.

Personally, I think the B650 version is fine, but it is that old chestnut of "future proofing" with the newer features.

Yeh that's the one. Is this the one you mean?

Yeah, that's the 'cheap' one. It only has PCI-E 4.0 graphics, 1 Gb LAN, there's no USB4. It does have 1x PCI-E 5.0 M.2 slot though, not sure why they bothered with that.

Nice one, will probably just stick with what I have then. Bit of a strange combo
