Hi all,
I feel like I need to swap out a few, or most, of my currently running hardware. The PC is from about 2013 but I swapped out some parts here and there down the line.
Current configuration:
CPU: Intel i7-4771 @ 3.5Ghz (4 Core, 8 Threads)
CPU Cooler: Corsair AIO 2x120mm radiator (don't know the model)
RAM: 2x 8 Gb Kingston HyperX Predator DDR3 @2133MHz
Mainboard: Asus Sabertooth Z87
Storage: 1x Samsung SSD 850 Pro 256Gb, 2x SSD 1TB (for games)
GPU: RTX980Ti, Asus Strix
Monitor: 24 inch 1080p G-Sync AOC 144Hz
Case: Phanteks ENTHOO PRO
PSU: 650Watt Corsair RM650 80+ Gold
OS: Windows 10 Home
Fans: several noctua and corsair 120mm fans
Budget (including currency): 1000 CHF
Country: Switzerland
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Battlefield, RDR, GTA, Office applications
Other details: no peripherals needed
planned purchase date is january 24
for now I'll keep the monitor as a bigger one doesn't fit my workspace and I'm happy with it
want to switch to an air cooler for the CPU
GPU has to stay Nvidia
Desired gaming performance: high-ultra graphics with 120fps +
I've been looking at the pre-built systems from my local computer shop and the one selling for CHF 1600 (now on sale for CHF 1400) runs:

SSD: 1TB WD Blue M.2 NVMe
Mainboard: Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2
PSU: 750Watt be quiet! System Power B10 Bronze
CPU cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock 2 schwarz
Soundcard: Realtek ALC887-VD2

These builds are from June 2023 so I guess some parts aren't the best choice by now or something better is coming out shorty? I'm very out to date in knowledge on computer hardware.
My idea was to keep the case, fans, PSU, SSDs and buy the parts they use for their builds.
Let me know if you what you think of these two pre-built builds and which parts you would use from these or take an alternative.
Thank you for your help!
