Hello All,
I am looking to finally upgrade my main desktop after 10 years (that i7-4790 has done well!) and wanted to get a quick sense check on my build. Gone back and forth between 4080 super and 4090 but think I am leaning that the 4090 just isn't worth the additional cost for me.
Uses - Primarily gaming with some limited video production
Monitors: Primary for gaming - Samsung G7 Odyssey LC32G7XT (32 inch, 240hz 1440p). Second monitor - Samsung S34E790C (34inch ultrawide, 1440p, 60hz).
Current build thinking below. I want to select the Ak620 CPU cooler but its currently out of stock so the configurator wont let me select it hence the AK400 as a placeholder. The original cooler selection of Corsair H100x had compatibility issues with the case which would require removing the main front 2 fans according to the configurator hence the switch to air.
Specced a higher than required PSU for a bit of extra long term headroom.
