Need Feedback on my future PC!

[MyFartSoTart]

I’m building an emulation machine for my dad. He wants it to run old arcade games, but he also wants it to run new games like MK 11 and Street Fighter V. I was just wondering if you have any feedback or suggestions for my planned build. Here is the link.

The link is missing the slug to your exact list. It just takes you to the pcpartpicker System Builder in general.

An X47O board is a really odd choice. Get a B550 instead.

 

A single 4TB SSD is kind of insane here. You don't even need that much storage for what you've described here. I'd get a 500GB M.2 NVMe for a boot drive and then like a 2TB max SATA SSD for storage, but you'd probably be fine with 1TB or just a HDD instead, for much cheaper.

Will do, do you think I should just go with a 2tb nvme, as I found one for cheaper than the 2tb sata I had previously chosen. Then I could just buy a sata later if necessary?

if you get a 500gb ssd and 2tb hdd and there it is! planty room for rtx 3070.

$500 for storage is lot of money and believe me you wont be installing all the games to ssd, just primary ones.
