Budget (including currency): 2500

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AAA, some MMO, and CAD

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): only PC. Parts no accessories or extra

So i had a idea of what I wanted but u wanted to hear advice. I was planning on going with the new 5800 and 6900xt when they come out. I went with the the 2TB SSD and no Hdd because that would be enough storage for a few years.

- if you aren't set on that RAM's look I would look for some 4000mhz instead, 5000 series (by previews) seems to leverage the extra speed better than 3000 series. 

 

- might end up wanting an 850+watt PSU depending on how power hungry the 5800 and 6900xt are, seeing how the RTX3000 series boosts with huge power spikes might be the same for the 6900xt but we'll have to wait for reviews to see how power supplies handle the card.

I'd try to fit in the 5900x in the budget. For 150 or so more, you get 4 more cores.
