Posted May 12, 2020 Budget (including currency): X<$2500 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Literally any game I want to play, with no problem. I don't Program, nor do I stream. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): do you think there is anything I should change? last time I built a PC was 8+ yrs ago. Don't plan on having to change anything for the foreseeable future. (DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE LOOK, ONLY FUNCTIONALITY) https://pcpartpicker.com/user/BeastCode/saved/HzDF8d My current build is a I5-4690k geforce 960 16gig of ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2020 get an X570 board so you could upgrade further... maybe the Asus Prime X570-P, yesterday the price was still okay... maybe there is a shop with an okay pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2020 and there are cheaper ways to get a win 10 OEM key. Or dont you have win 10 right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 12, 2020 9900k will do a tad better for gaming only workloads, thats the only real alternate route I am seeing. If you are going AMD, grab an X570 board. There are some in the $150 price bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2020 Another thing to keep in mind is that we are starting to get to the point where 16gb of RAM is filling up. I blame game distribution platforms and all of the crap they run in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2020 Its easier for the mainboard to run 2 sticks at its related capacity than 4 but some mainboard manufacturers have very specific lists were you can look up if 4x8 runs at its rated frequency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend buying all the ram you need in a single kit, mix matching even the same exact kits with DDR4 can sometimes have issues. I would recommend either a 4x8GB or a 2x16GB kit.

Im not 100% sure at what capacity current DDR4 transitions to dual rank, but it is worth doing a bit of research on before pulling the trigger on 16gb modules.

Though I suppose that as more high density chips come along that most would end up being SR instead of DR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 12, 2020 I would wait a bit more until Nvidia's 3000 cards get released and not waste 2500$ yet, since the RTX line up is just a refresh of the GTX. I mean I'd prefer my build too last long with a GPU like 3080 or 3080Ti.

Posted May 12, 2020 The only way to keep your hardware current is to not change how you use it. If you buy the best parts for this years games they will at some point be the minimum specs for the newest games. My pc in my sig will last me 5 years as I don’t plan to buy any games that will need more than a moderate GPU upgrade will handle, even if I go 1440p. My rig has done 18 months so far and was planned to be in use till end of 2023 at least. If you really want a PC to last 8 years then buy the best you can afford and lower expectations for what experience it will deliver in 5 years, unless you don’t buy AAA titles once you cant run them satisfactorily. i5 8600 - RX580 - Fractal Nano S - 1080p 144Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
