Another Help with Gaming Desktop post *Sorry

[steve jones]

I’ve had some helpful comments in this forum and have this as my potential PC build. I know future proofing is nigh impossible but I’m hoping this will last me a good 10 years. I may be overly optimistic on that but I can’t afford to spend another 3k in that time on a PC.

Would anyone change anything about this spec? Any helpful insights would be great.

Also I tried to delete my previous post but I couldn’t see the option on my mobile. Sorry for creating a new thread.

Without knowing usage, monitor and max budget then its difficult to advise on a build.

It’s in an OLED 4K 120hz TV and gaming at highest level with RT.

Without commenting on the usage, you can shave £200 off that price by simply going down to the (still overkill) Strix motherboard and removing the Arctic paste (not needed with the Corsair coolers as they come pre-applied with their own).

That would free up budget for a dedication 2TB m.2 for game installs to keep your 1TB for Windows, Apps and Game Launchers/Stores (and you could argue about going down to a 512GB one for that).

As above, lots to be saved without actually changing anything. You really need to have specific reasons for anything over the B650 in all honesty. Even spending some extra on the X670 is overkill, but you do get a few extra PCIe lanes of use so it's a fair shout. Strix isn't crazy over the top of the TUF so if you want white it's a fair shout too. It's just money for nothing though, in all honesty. The HERO is a crazy splurge.

With recommended changes.
