This is the build I'm currently looking at https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RND6Jy Its a prebuilt PC.

I am going to make a list, and tell you why each part is more or less better than that prebuilt PC has,

 

that is if you copied all specs 1:1 (things like RAM speed),

 

[the list also contains parametric filters, meaning it was selecting from multiple items or certain specs and chose the cheapest one]

  • 7800x3D, fastest current gaming CPU, with enough power to handle creative workloads too, it's got 8 hyperthreaded cores
  • It's on AM5 socket, which is guaranteed for next gen AMD CPUs to be on AM5 which is soon to be released, and then probably the next gen after that
  • An even bigger cooler the CPU doesn't really need, but is nice to have in case you upgrade to some 16 core behemoth, which you can
  • Because the motherboard is strong enough to support CPUs that are more powerful than current AM5 16 core CPUs
  • My list has faster RAM, and since @PDifolco noticed and I didn't somehow, it has more RAM too
  • SSD was good in the prebuilt, the only benefit of my SSD is it's just a sliver cheaper while being similarly fast
  • That prebuild rocks a 4070, my list rocks a 4070 Ti Super, which is significantly faster and has more VRAM
  • My list includes a case with 4 pre-installed fans, the prebuilt seemingly only has 3
  • My list has a powerful 1000W PSU selection, the prebuilt has only 650W PSU which would be driving on edge, and would require replacement in case of upgrading to significantly more powerful GPU, meanwhile the 1000W PSU would be fine with basically any kind of upgrade

 

  • Windows 11 is semi-optional, you can actually download Windows 11 installer on your USB from Microsoft's website [and (fully) activate Windows later - basic things will still work on it]
  • The 7800x3D doesn't necessarily need 360mm AIO, it could easily do fine with poweful decently quiet 444kr Dual Tower Air cooler (in @PDifolco's list)
  • In case you don't need Nvidia's features, you could probably get 7900 XTX for the same price you'D get 4070 Ti Super, the only downside is some 3D modelling softwares are 99% possible to be significantly faster on Nvidia GPUs thanks to CUDA technology

 

That's about as much as I can think of, if I missed something I can answer that too.

Budget (including currency): About 25 000 SEK

Country: Sweden

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming 1440p with high frames. I do also do some 3D work and make video games so I want it to work well with current game engines as well.

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): 

Plan is to buy the PC this month. I currently only have 2 1080p monitors but the plan is to buy 1 or 2 new monitors next month.
I have been playing on my old PC for a while now and I feel like its time for a big upgrade.
I'm currently using this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NG67QP I was unable to find these on PC part picker: Corsair CX750M 750W PSU and MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard.

Why not build one yourself? It’s really not hard, LTT has a exemplary guide on how to do  this:

Rather get anything with a 7800X3D, or 9700X when they'll be released, 12700 non K is not that fast

And get 32GB RAM not 16

PSU is meh and underpowered

GPU Is a bit underwhelming as well, with that budget you could get a 7900XT or even 4070Ti

one more info about this in case you care, the 13700F doesn't have integrated GPU if you plan to run some of your monitors off of iGPU
