New build - RX 7900 XT vs RX 6900 XT

Hello guys!

I want to build new PC, my old one lasted me like 6-7 years. The current setup is i7-6700 paired with GTX 1070 (yes, a big upgrade). 

 

The build I am planning currently is i5-13600k with RX 7900 xt or RX 6900 XT (with DDR5 RAM) for Ultrawide QuadHD 165 Hz monitor (34 inch 3440x1440), the link is here:

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ImGK_TZ/saved/nLWCwP (would love to hear the build recommendations or feedback)

 

Also the prices of GPUs in my country that I am having dilemma with are following:

  • RX 7900 XT - is around $1100
  • RX 6900 XT - around $710 (few left only on one shop) and $800

So the question I have is whether to get 6900 XT, or is 7900 XT is worth the price difference. Also will 6900 XT last long enough?

 

Also its not worth mentioning NVidia cards here, they are just too overpriced.

 

Thank you guys in advance!

Forgot to mention that this is the first build I am planning to do my own, the one I have right now was built in the shop I bought from, so any recommendations and tips are very welcomed!

When you say last long enough how long is that? Also just FYI the 7900xt is anywhere from 30% to 10% faster than the 6900xt depending on the game. I would say there quite a few that look about 30% but there are some where you will see about a 10% difference so it's very game dependent. This is going mostly off of 4k data because 1440p ultrawide often times will benchmark similar to 4k due to the sheer about of pixels and looking at 1440p results won't give as good of a look.

I would like the new PC last me 5 or more years, cause its kinda pricey hobby in my country.

Yeah, I know, I dont really rely on the benchmark results online, because performance will be different on everybody. Thats why I was wondering, if the price of 7900 xt is justified compared to 6900 xt

Specifying in where it is would be a good idea.
