Hi all,

My current system is now 8 years old and is starting to show its age, I'm trying to plan a new system which will be used for work, gaming, video editing and potentially streaming.

Game wise I tend to play Euro / American Truck sim and other racing sim, MSFS, cant really play new titles but with a new system I will be able to.

I do tend to keep my systems for some time but not going to mention 'future proof' because nothing ever is.

Current main system specs are:
Intel i5-4690K CPU @4GHZ
16 GB Ram
GTX 970.

Any new system will be a huge upgrade in performance coming from what I currently have.

I also plan to get either a Samsung G9 or the LG 49" 49WQ95C-W both 5120x1440 and would like a Bluray writer for making backups and I do like to have plenty of storage.

I had penciled a system together below (without monitor)

CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X,
CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI
Ram: 32GB (2x16GB) Corsair DDR5 Vengeance, PC5-48000 (6000) AMD EXPO
Power: 1200W Corsair RM1200x SHIFT
Case: Fractal Design Define 7 XL
ODD: Pioneer BDR-S12XLT 16x Blu Ray Writer
Storage: 500GB Samsung 980 Pro, 1TB Samsung 980 Pro, 2x 1TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD's

This comes in around £4k ish.

Welcome people ideas and feedback.

Thanks!

You are completely right, and what I did failed to mention is I haven't really got much of an idea as to where to start.

But starting at 2k is a good point.

Thanks!

Great thanks @tamzzy Something to start with.

Why do you need such a large case?



Don't. Get external USB hard drives instead. BDs simply don't have the capacity.



Get two NVME drives: one for the OS and one for data.



This is the one to get if you have the budget.

One of the first cases I looked at with room for a ODD, I already have external drives and cloud backup but like the idea of backing things of more importance to blu ray for archival reasons.

External drive sounds like a better idea.

Also a 7800x3d is a far better idea now that I've done some home work.

Not sure on motherboard but definitely set on a 4090.

I also asked myself (again) what will I use it for, and it will be mainly gaming, working from home, I cant really see myself streaming or editing many videos if any at all really.
