New beast

Hi there,

Am in the market for a new pc and have specced out a multi use system.
I plan to game at 1440p ( have a 165hz MSI Optix monitor) but also have a 4K monitor for other work too; in terms of types of games - the usual mix of triple A, MMO and simulations.

I will also be using the system to develop Power BI dashboards, Qlikview Dashboards as well as multiple sql server instances.

That being said, here’s my spec:

As suggested, the case is a massive splurge. With the 5000X being out of stock it probably is the nicest though. If you're happy with the outlay on it then there's nothing wrong with it, it's a cracking bit of kit. Just pricey.

Similar thoughts as above really. I think there could be some merit with the 5800X3D though. It's fantastic for all database uses and gaming. For simulations it's a marked improvement above the likes of Intel.

With the below the 1000w RMx would be more than enough to cover most conceivable options but if you are considering going all out on the GPU at any point in the future the 1200w option could be a worthwhile choice.
