Budget (including currency): 1500€ at most

Country: germany

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: baldurs gate 3, overwatch 2, dead by daylight, final fantasy 7 remastered and 12. also some light video editing but nothing on a professional level

Other details: i am upgrading from an almost 8 year old pc that is giving up on me.

i have this list of parts saved but i don't know enough about pcs to just buy this without getting second opinion lol. i also am using an ancient tv as a monitor atm but plan to upgrade to 2 monitors at some point (if anyone has recommendations do tell. i take anything that isn't a probably 10 year old tv tbh)

 

I would build a new AM5 machine, as AM4 is deadish and should only be upgraded if you're already on it.

 

Something like this...  someone can recommend decent monitors, maybe a nice 1440p Ultrawide as the 7900 GRE will push it just fine...  16GB VRAM is nice as well.

 

Windows can be used FREE, unactivated.  Or get a cheap Ebay key.  But there isn't a downside to unactivated, mine is that way for years now.

I'd change that rtx 4070 to some other Amd gpu like a rx 7800xt 

better performance for ur money that is ofcourse if u dont care about RAY TRACING

Yeah, the 7800xt is better in almost every aspect and is cheaper. Unless he prefers nvidia and wants raytracing.

Make sure to mark solutions, as it helps us find people who need help faster. Thanks!

I am human and am therefore prone to error, so I apologize if I make mistakes and I hope you understand.

Have a Nice Day!
