Childhood Dream

blueoak · December 17, 2023

Budget (including currency): 4000 €

Country: Germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Rocket League, Fortnite, GTA VI, any AAA Title and Fusion 360, Visual Studio (Code), Android Studio

Other details Currently 1440p@240Hz

You may think 4K for these workloads is way too much and you are probably, well rather definitely, right, yet it has been a dream of mine since starting on a laptop older than myself that on day I would have a top of the line PC. My last PC had a Ryzen 5 3600 and a 2070S but a few months ago I gifted it to my brother for his 10th birthday though so right now my daily driver is a Asus TUF Laptop with a Ryzen 7 6800H and a 3070 Ti and it‘s kinda horrible, the hinges are failing and it has weird seemingly random frame drops + it‘s a laptop overall so thermals/TDP/IO are limiting factors for what I wanna do. Especially unplugging it from everything and then replugging it is a pain when taking it to uni. So I have been meaning to get a PC again. The MoBo has to have Wi-Fi(I have to move every 3-6 months and LAN is not a given) preferably x670E, I‘d like a 7800X3D since from what I‘ve seen and heard the 7950X3D is apparently worse for gaming workloads but the 7800s 8 cores are probably still enough for all productivity workloads I run. This is where the unnecessary part starts but it‘s just a childhood dream of mine RTX 4090 buuut with the impending launch of 40 Series Super cards I was wondering whether the 4080S will be pulling down the price of the 4090 and it is maybe worth to wait it out. RAM wise I‘d say 32GB with 6000Mt/s CL30 probably being the sweet spot for AM5. 1000W modular 80+ Gold PSU. 360mm AiO CPU Cooler. Aesthetic spacious preferably dual chamber case. Y‘all can try and reason with me and maybe I‘ll get something more sensible like a 4070 Ti but probably not. Other than that I am open for suggestions of all kinds
