Hello guys,
so finally, when the price, date and specs of the new RTX 3000 cards are out, I have decided to go with the 3090 FE. I kinda like the design and cooling solution as opposed to standard triple fan configuration at the AIB cards. I will buy the 3090 at launch, as I am affraid, that the stock is and will be very limited and I would not be able to buy one after the launch and thus miss the Cyberpunk 2077 at the 19th of November.
So, because my current PC is 7 years old, I need to buy all from scratch. Here is the build:

As you can see, the CPU and RAM are highlighted. The reasoning behind is:
1.) I want to have Zen 3 CPU, probably 4900X. But as I am going to buy all the components at 24th of September (launch of RTX 3090), I have to buy current generation CPU. Now I am thinking, to buy the 3900X, use it, until the Zen 3 comes out and then sell it with 100€ loss. Or, should I go into 3700X or even 3600X in the meantime and sell those? In game performance is withing 15 fps in favor of 3900X, which is not that much. And I expect Zen 3 to launch late November or early December. Thus to use 3600X for 2 months and sell it with potentional 50€ loss?
2.) About the RAM. I plan to play, as said, in 4K / 120 Hz. I plan to stream and edit the stream footage into highlights and upload those. Currently, I have 8 GB DDR3 RAM, so I really do not know, if I would need 64 GB or if 32 GB is plenty for 4K gaming + streaming at the same time and some editing.
Oh and yes, I will be having the LG 48CX OLED TV as my main "monitor" as I can buy it for 1150€ brand new (as opposed to 1750€ in all other stores).
I would appreciate your feedback and help guys.
Thank you!
