Looking for advice and feedback on a build I have been thinking of. Not sure if it is worth buying or even building anything now given the current situation and new releases coming soon?
1. Budget & Location
Budget: ~$1,500
Location: US
2. Aim
Would like it to be versatile - gaming, web browsing, but also ready for data science intensive tasks as I will be doing more of that with my job in the coming months.
3. Monitors
Plan is to have a dual 27" setup down the road, Have been looking at LG models for a while, notably these two below. Not in a rush to buy, I have two monitors from work for now.
LG 27UD68-P
LG 27UD68-W
4. Peripherals
OS included in my PCpartpicker list.
Already have most peripherals.
5. Why are you upgrading?
I have been working on a Dell XPS 13 for the last 4 years. Very limited with what I can do with that obviously.
Last time I played a pc game was on a GeForce 6800 Ultra
PS:
I know there is a AM4 socket adapter I have to buy separately for the Zalman to work with the Ryzen.
Will add extra storage with a 4TB Seagate hard drive to the list.
