Oldtimer PC Builder Dealing with New PC's

[Mezzum]

Budget (including currency): 5000

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming and as much Future Proof I Can Get

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): I have a 4k 60hz, 28in Monitor I use.

 

I am having a hard time with the newer (to me) technology such as the newer drives, M.2 seems very handy but some of the descriptions on motherboards like 10th Gen and 11th Gen Intel some M.2 ports are unavailable or available etc.

I am leaning on just getting the top Alienware Aurora R12 and I have a build on Origin (which has many more options) and yes more expensive.  I guess my major issue is the motherboard to pick from Origin.  I can list the options if it helps, I am hoping someone has shopped there and can give me what they chose and why, I can just choose the Godlike but I doubt that price is justified but it maybe.  Any help is appreciated, I am set on a 3090 and a 10th or 11th Gen I9 depending on if the 11th is worth choosing for the extra M.2 Slot.  With the Video Card situation as it is, I am just thinking go high, and not have to deal with it for a decent amount of time.  The last PC I purchased almost lasted me 10 years because I topped it out.  Thx in advance.

I think building your own pc is better in terms of performance and customization. You can get EKWB prebuilts, Origin, and Corsair builds. Here is a custom build. Buying the parts and making someone else build it is also an option.
