Does this seem good

[ploopy]

Hey everyone I don't know much about computers however I want to configure one that will last me the upcoming years that I will be able to do everything on. I've messed around with the configuration and made this, I've added stuff like 32gb of ram to help with video editing, and 2 SSD's for more storage but no standard harddrive because I feel they are outdated. With the water cooler thing I just picked a random one that looked good, like corsair. Forgive my lack of computing knowledge. What do you think X)

Did the budget change? No Windows required? The CPU change is good but the other changes don't seem very well thought out. Can you give some reasoning to your thinking with the GPU & Storage? It's difficult to offer advice without understanding where you're coming from

Good point, I'll agree that its all over the place. I'll think out a new build with my thoughts/needs, sorry for being so vague and random etc.

 

[ploopy]

Monitor - 1440p 165hz
Uses - Gaming, light video editing and game making
Theoretical Max Budget - €3,000.00

Background: Want to play games at 1440p at decent framerates as well as do some light video editing and game development. Given I'm not a professional or anything it will be light, which is why I chose the Ryzen 7 7800x3D. I chose the TUF gaming X670E-PLUS WIFI because it has PCIe 5.0 (not that it matters that much I understand) and its all black and less distracting than other boards. I am choosing 6000MHz DDR5 ram just to get the most out of AM5 etc. The 850W PSU is for futureproof reasons, the aircooler is maybe overkill? but LCD's are cool and I want a silent gaming experience. The samsung SSD seems to have a good read/write speed and other people seem to go for it, so it seemed good. Theoretical operating system is windows 11, and RTX 4070 SUPER, I know it has like 12GB of ram however I don't really care about triple A titles that much like unoptimized hogwarts legacy etc. I think it will be fine to play games like spiderman 2 or witcher 3 on good settings. I also like RTS games which the CPU should handle well.

Want something semi "future proof", not that such a thing exists with computing hardware. I need to know if I'm out of my mind with this build or if its ok. Thankyou. I know I'm all over the place in this thread due to extreme ADHD but I hope this gives more context.

Honestly the RTX 4070ti super looks kinda interesting, especially with 16gb of ram which will be good for future proofing

I kind of like the compact nature of the 4000D more, are there any advantages to a larger case like the 5000D? I feel like I should wait for the 4000D to come back in stock to prevent buyers remorse. It just looks more compact and cozy.

I kind of like the compact nature of the 4000D more, are there any advantages to a larger case like the 5000D? I feel like I should wait for the 4000D to come back in stock to prevent buyers remorse. It just looks more compact and cozy.

Compact and cozy is exactly what it is, not exactly ideal for airflow and breathability of expensive components

For the options you have chosen now the 4000D would do OK I think. If you put in a higher level of GPU I think you would want a higher level of case. The 5000D would comfortably hold the most powerful of GPUs, so if that was in your mind for a future purchase I think it would be worthwhile.

Buyers remorse would more likely kick in down the line with the 4000D if you upgraded to something that your case couldn't handle without adding 10 fans and sounding like a jet engine

Although, it looks like the 5000D is also out of stock. The 5000X is a good option as well and has the advantage of being one of the prettiest cases available.
