Did I do a good or a bad?

[Tryonus]

Budget (including currency): Over £2,000

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1080 gaming/maybe 1440p in future, streaming/recording (maybe)

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): 

 

First Off … Hi everyone! Hope your all doing Good and Keeping well enough.

Hoping I've put this in the right area, never know with different/new forums.

So first off I need people to understand that I am Physically Disabled and I am not able to build a Computer, so i have to rely on only companies that custom build, which have limited chooses in components, and I can't/would not be able to maintain a water cooled system, bad enough cleaning one as it.

 

Anyway with that said I have just brought myself a New gaming PC from a UK company called PCspecialist

 

My current gaming build is  

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7GHz 12 Core CPU – 4.8GHz Turbo
Motherboard: X570 Aorus Elite
Graphics Card: NVidia GeForce RTX 3070 8GB GDDR6 GPU
Memory: 32GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 3600MHz (2x16GB)
Primary Storage Drive: 1 TB M.2 drive
CPU Cooling: Be Quiet! DARK ROCK Slim CPU Cooler
PSU: Corsair RM850 850W 80 Plus Gold Full Modular PSU

 

I have just brought I new computer which is:

 

Processor 
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core CPU (4.2GHz-5.0GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5)
Motherboard
GIGABYTE X670 AORUS ELITE AX
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz (2 x 16GB)
Graphics Card
12GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4070 SUPER - HDMI, DP, LHR
1st M.2 SSD Drive
2TB SAMSUNG 990 PRO M.2, PCIe 4.0 NVMe (up to 7450MB/R, 6900MB/W)
Power Supply
CORSAIR 750W RMe SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET
Processor Cooling
DeepCool AK620 ZERO DARK

 

I am Happy with the what i have done, with some buying nerv's as it goes but kind of what to know what people in general think to the Upgrade.... Good/Bad please explain why and what you would have done diff.

Oh and I am truly hoping when the 50 NVidia series comes out (next year??) I'll be able to upgrade the GPU with this new system... just have to save those penny's again.

then it doesn't matter what we think

if you paid 10k for a toaster and are happy with it then what we think doesn't matter. Don't ask random people to tell you how you feel

if you've already bought this then it looks good, I tried speccing the same and I got £1920 for the same parts (except with a b650 tuf plus wifi instead of the x670 and an MP600 2tb instead of a 990 pro)

there's also cyberpowerpc who provides the same pc specs for around the same price

Overall, I think you did well

As long as you are happy with it thats good.

 

I would have definitly done something different and taken the system you had to a computer shop and asked them to simply put in a better gpu and a 5700x3d. Would have basically been the same performance with only a 4070 super in there but you could have potentially even put a 4090 in there for the heck of it :p.

 

Or kept the 5900x it's no slouch.

 

If you could return it and it is feasable for you to have someone upgrade the pc for you either at home or at a shop I'd go for that as it's a far better value option. If not keep it as is.

 

Was there an issue with the old one? For 1080p it should have been easily maxing out almost every game without a sweat.

Yeah, nothing wrong with that.

I have a 5800x with a 3070 and it's running 1440p just fine.

I do think that you might be upgrading a little unnecessarily, but I myself have bought things before with no further reason than just because I wanted to.

So as long as you can afford it, have fun.

And it seems that you are saving instead of borrowing, so that's good.

Hey man, if you are happy with what you have then that's great.  Don't fret over what other people think because all of us are unimportant when it comes to what makes you feel good.  I'm glad that you have been able to get what you want because that is what is really important.  What we think or do is not important and is just about as reliable as what comes and goes with the tide.

 

Take care and good luck.  Enjoy your new machine and if you have any problems with it, you know that you can always ask for help here in the LTT forums.

I believe I would have run that build something like this.

I guess they could go to a shop to let someone else build it but unless they live in the North it'll be difficult (PC stores that will build your pc are far and between down here i around London)
