To be honest with you, this spec is already overkill for everything that I do now. But I prefer to spend now, a bit more and don't touch my PC for the next 6+ years. I know some ppl prefer to spend less and upgrade letter.

Probably 5950 would be better for work purpose, but it will be another 200£ extra. I think 5900 is a good option and provide the perfect balance between work and gaming.

You are right about my monitor. I will buy a new one a bit later.

Yes, I have one SSD and it will be transferred over.

To be honest, outside of the GPU, the spec I have no issues with. The GPU is the big question mark as, asides from it not being a gaming GPU, you would need either a 4k 144Hz monitor or a Superwide like the Samsung G9 Odyssey to utilise it enough to give some semblance of value for money.

And no matter which GPU you buy now, it will be the first bottleneck. Over speccing the GPU will not prevent you from having to upgrade it before 6 years time.

Thank you for your advice guys. As I said, I will buy a new monitor this year, bc now having 3090 it is a bit pointless, but this will change in a few months ;)

My gtx 960 has been with me for the last 5 years and I hope so 3090 will be fine too. I don't want to wait next 2-3 month for 3080. I even thought to buy 6900 GPU ( I don't know why, but I love this card) but unfortunately, someone said on this forum it's not available anymore.

@SpyderTracks and @Nursemorph

Sometimes I can see ppl are advised on the forum to change ram, bc it's some issue with 3600MHz. Do you think is it a good idea or I should keep my original spec?

Small edit- I just read this topic, is it still valid or maybe something changed?

Thank you in advance.

We had a recent guy with the Strix mobo who had 3600MHz running perfectly stable. IIRC he had a late november BIOS, we're sincerely hoping that's fixed the instability.

2x16 3600mhz vs 4x8 3200mhz RAM

I So, overall general consensus is we go for 4 of the 3200 blah blah blahs, optionally picking some with pretty lights, until we get a confirmed fix from the ASUS wizards? I think that’s a sensible move for the time being. Unless (as @Nursemorph noted) we’re looking at a music production...

If the price difference isn't too much between 3600 and 3200, I'd just get the 3600MHz, and worst comes to the worst, you can just reduce the clocks to 3200MHz. Will still run perfectly well. But I reckon this latest BIOS has sorted the 3600 instability.

@nawru enter the command msinfo32 in the Run command box. In the display that you see the BIOS version and date is about a third of the way down. What is your BIOS version and date?
