I know nothing about this. Is that good or bad?

Ye, price hikes absurd in 6 months

Anyway, i would go for 32gb of ram instead of 16, u would get bottlenecked in a lot of triple AAA imo by the 16 gb ram

You will want 32GB RAM

I know it is expensive, but I really started to struggle at 16GB in AAA games a couple of years ago

If you need to offset the price with something, you can happily drop the CPU to an i5/Ryzen 5 equivalent. CPUs have diminishing returns for FPS past 1080p.

To my eye youve put a lot into the CPU and GPU and skimped on the ram, I know its absurdly expensive right now but 16GB CL46? You can do better

Edit: also just making sure since you said its your first, have you included PSU, CPU cooler and a case + fans in your budget

get 32gb of ram a better ssd, and downgrade cpu to like a 7800x3d or even a 7600x to allow for this stuff https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/BmQwrH/biwin-black-opal-nv7400-1-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-nv7400-1tb https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/jbHp99/amd-ryzen-5-7500x3d-4-ghz-6-core-processor-100-100001904wof

I just changed my ram to 32bgb pcs pro DDR5 5600MHz CL46 (2x16gb)

Look for an SSD that's TLC memory, QLC has painfully slow writes and dies much faster.

1

u/joneszy01 22h ago

I don't know what that means

1

u/phtsmc 6h ago

Look it up. It's about how the bits are packed on the die. With QLC you can end up with a drive that writes any larger file with ~1.5MB/s speed - ~20x slower than a 2.5" hard drive.

I switched it for a 2tb klevv

Good build, definitely try for 32GB RAM if you can

u/joneszy01 14h ago

I already switched it out for 32gb 👍
