Hello LTT forum,
after nearly a decade with my old PC, it is due for an update.
I will be "selling" my old one to my GF since it still plays most modern titles at 60 fps no problem (The 1080 has done a fantastic job)
Been looking around on my own to find something that is in that range but keep getting lost with different builds and no real coherent option.
My current setup is:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X
GPU: GIGABYTE AORUS GTX 1080 Rev 2.0 11 Gbps
RAM: 32GB Corsair CMK32GK (DDR4-2998)
Motherboard: ASUS TUF B450-PLUS GAMING
Cooler: Alpenföhn
Storage:
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
HDD: WDC WD 10EzEX 1TB
I won't mind building the PC myself, since I've done that multiple times for friends already.
A prebuilt option that I found which seemed decent was: https://www.dubaro.de/GAMING-PC/Gamer-PC-Ryzen-7-5700X3D-mit-RX-7900GRE::3369.html
Budget (including currency): 800-1200 €
Country: Germany
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:
Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects
Not a real graphics fanatic in games, I am usually totally fine with 1080p at 144Hz
Some light biotech applications
Other details: Would like to stick to aircooling since AIO is too much of a hassle for me. Won't maintain it anyway. I would love to expand the storage options a bit further since I've run out of space on my 1TB HDD multiple times already.
