Gaming pc spec?

[Lopey]

It's been about 20 years since I last built a pc, but fancy getting into some games again, mainly stuff like bf6.

Chatgpt spat out the following and I just wanted to see what the opinions are, and whether anything could be changed? Looking to spend about £1500 but i can be flexible.

Thanks

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D — £331.00

Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 GAMING WiFi6 (ATX) — £154.99

GPU: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (partner model) — ~£599.99 (model-dependent)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2×16) DDR5-6000 CL30 (EXPO) — £128.99

SSD: Samsung 990 EVO 2 TB (PCIe Gen4 NVMe) — ~£144

PSU: Corsair RM850e / RMe 850 W, ATX 3.1, PCIe 5.1, fully modular, 80+ Gold — £120–£130 typical UK pricing

CPU cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE — ~£35

Case: Fractal Pop Air (mid-tower, airflow-focused) — ~£75

The first question would be, at what resolution will you be gaming? 1080p, 1440p and 4k make different demands on GPU and CPU.

With your chosen GPU, at 1080p the demand on the CPU is higher than at 4k, so a 7800x3d would be more appropriate at 1080p whilst at 4k, a 9600x would be sufficient. I run a 5080 and 9600x at 4k and I am still GPU limited.

9600x is £150 saving and easier to cool.

You'd probably get a new 9070XT for a similar price to the 7900XT. It's a bit faster, and has more recent AMD technologies baked in.

There's also been some driver optimisation since that video was released, so the 9070XT is even faster...
