Gaming pc help.

[AGF]

hello my name is Alex and im looking for a new gaming pc i found what i think may be a good one but im not so tech-savvy i have the PC specs here and if anyone could give me any advice that would be great.

The CPU is overpowered for this PC, since it is primarily for gaming. That's money that could have gone to the graphics card.

 

Are you only considering prebuilt configs? Also, we can't tell you if a PC is good or not if you don't tell us the price.

If you get a decent power supply, yes. The Vengeance listed in the build above is good.

 

Are there any core i7 models to consider?

There's no guarantee that an i9 will outlast an i7. It is easier to upgrade a graphics card, though.

it has hyperthreading, so it is better, but for modern gaming they'll deliver the same experience, and by the time one is obsolete, the other likely will be as well.

 okay thank you, so something like the i7 9700k would do a good job. 

think i'll go back and look at some i7

definitely. A ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 7 3700X are also great ways to save money.

saving money isnt essential more so future proof. I've heard a lot of good things about AMD it's just I'm not familiar with the brand is the ryzen 7 the equivalent of the i7

A Ryzen 7 is the competitor to the i7, but it has 8 cores and 16 threads so it's closer to the i9. Also, with AMD you get better Upgrade options, with the new 4000 series coming this year as well as up to 16 cores with the 3950X.
