Well, 7900 XTX is faster than RTX 4080, with decent OC it could be quite close to RTX 4090, but only in non ray tracing performance.

In ray tracing, it is a bit slower than RTX 4080.

In terms of value, I think 7900 XTX is very good right now (compared to Nvidia's line up).

I don't feel like I'm going to be doing any type of ray tracing anytime soon. This sounds like a good build that I'll end up going with.

Budget (including currency): 3000-2000 (I'd like to stay in the lower side but I can be persuaded for performance)

 

Country: USA

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Doom, Arma III, Day Z, Red Dead II

 

Other details: I've been using a gaming laptop, due to my work have me move a lot, that has been struggling along for the past two years. I'm finally willing to shell out for a great computer. I've used PC picker for a build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JCn4tn), but I have no clue if spending my money efficiently. I'm not to big into rgb I don't know if that's a sin here. Open to all input!

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Changes as below, I saved where is possible, changed to all AMD build for better value and sometimes performance.

You don't need 8 TB of SSD, are you realistically going to play every single game you have within a short period of time? 4TB of HDD for mass storage (old games/movies etc), 2TB PCIE Gen 4 for fast storage (latest games), 2TB PCIE Gen 3 for fast mass storage (2021 or earlier games).

Might want to reconsider the mouse, $150 for a mouse when you want to save money? <$100 is still reasonable at least.

I'm not familiar with the Radeon graphics cards. What is that compared to? Otherwise I love the build!
