Hi - Looking to buy a new Gaming PC and would love some eyes on it for help

[bratay]

We’re nowhere near the gpu bottleneck of pcie4 yet, will take years.

PCIe 5 is only really beneficial for SSD speeds

That's good to know, thank you

I would hope that if you considered what you just wrote you would see how these metrics are skewed to paint a particular picture.

If you consider the link that you shared has the #gaming affixed to it, yet it claims to have tested using multi-core on geek bench 5 to test real world tasks...... that should tell you all you need to know about that particular gaming comparison.

3rd party reviews means real people actually testing components and comparing specific uses. Type hardware unboxed into youtube and have a look around at what a review should look like.

Brilliant, thanks for the hardware Unboxed tip. I went and looked and got this (TL;DR, get AMD):

Yeah, that's where us geeks tend to do all the watching and reading for you
