@Backers92 the last build by @AgentCooper is a good solid build.

and is good for a good number of years, bar the gfx card the rest is likely 7-10 years of gaming.

The PSU allows an increase in GFX in a few years time, realistically that is probably 2 releases of Nvidia.

While I totally agree with the point that it's a great system, it would be remiss of me if I didn't say that it also falls into the same category as the 5900X. It's an awful lot of money to spend for no gaming benefit.

If being sensible with the cash and not looking to overkill anything, the system will game 4k in it's sleep with a 5600X and a B550 motherboard. The savings here are significant where the gaming performance difference is effectively nil.

Now, I would personally be going for the 5900X as the 5800X is relatively poor value for what you get, but for purely gaming I would be getting the 5600X all day long.

Thank you to everyone who replied. In the end I cancelled my original order and lost my place in the que for the parts and went for this spec. I could have gone more expensive ( the kid in me really wanted to) but with the current job climate I need to know I can afford payments (not just on the pc) if I lose my job.

One of the most helpful forums I've came across on the internet. Cheers guys have a good year.
