I just recently got a new PC as well, it's been quite a while sine I've been wanting to get one.
Upgrading from a series of parts that date back to 2014, and me buying and setting them up in 2015, so that makes it 7 years. That thing performed so well and is still going strong, it just shows the importance of investing in a proper set of well compatible parts. Now it's in the hands of my little brother, who's putting it to good use.
The previous setup was an i5-4590. 16GBs 1600Mhz of RAM and a legendary Asus Strix 970.
The new build is rocking a 5700x, 32GBs 3600Mhz of RAM and one hell of an underrated AMD RADEON XFX 309 6700XT.
This 6700XT GPU right here is a beast; sadly, people just focus on Nvidia and think that AMD is still garbage, which they once were, but now anymore, not even close. If AMD keeps this up, then soon enough Nvidia won't be able to charge a premium on their GPUS, and that's exactly what we need.
Hey, congrats for your new pc! sounds like a true beast.
I've heard very good things about AMD, they make very good components by today, but I choosed Intel and Nvidia for personal preference, I would like to try an AMD gpu in the future though.
Thanks for your comment!
You did really good with both the CPU and GPU, they'll serve you well. 1070s and 1080s are still some solid GPUs, even in present times. The CPU and motherboard combo is another great duo, you really can't go wrong with Intel after the release of their 10th Gen CPUS, and as always, the i5 CPUs still provide the best bang for the buck experience and price to performance and fps ratios.
The rest of the parts mostly is about preference, but that EVGA PSU really surprised me, those are quite rare, especially in my region.
Hope to you see you putting that PC to good use.
Happy Gaming & GGs 🥃☮️
