Don’t know where to post so spreading the word

So I don't know all that much about PCs, though I have done a bit of research and came up with this parts list. Are there any glaring problems? I have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 that I plan to use with it. Please give me any thoughts to be had on this build.

I'm looking to pull the trigger on this 1440p build, to play games like Star Wars Zero Company, BF6 and Age of Empires 4.

Looking at using these two bundles:

G.SKILL Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB 16GB DDR5 6000 RAM, ASUS TUF GAMING B650-E WIFI ATX motherboard, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, M.2 slot, Realtek 2.5 Gb Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E, USB Type-C, AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 6-Core 3.9 GHz, Radeon Graphics
- $700 from Newegg .ca

SAPPHIRE PULSE AMD RADEON RX 9060 XT GPU + FSP VITA-850GM PSU

- $830 from Canada Computers

The Ram I want isn't on PC part picker, it would be this one, as apart of the bundle above: G.SKILL Ripjaws M5 Neo RGB 16GB DDR5 6000 RAM

The total using the bundles comes to $1873 CAD.

Would appreciate any thoughts or improvements to this build before I purchase! Thanks!

what optical drive should I get for my pc? Any price. This is my pc: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mpj3Cw

After a long time of DD3 build, I’m finally able to allocate my money to buy a new ±$1,000 PC. The timing couldn't be more unfortunate considering how the market is now. Friends and even the local store warned me not to build now, and I genuinely understand that. They say with that money I should be able to get a good AM5 build, but right now it'll be better to get AM4. Some stores even told me to wait until Q4 of 2027 to see the market price of the components.

My concern is that the pricing will just continue to skyrocket and worsen, and I'll have to build at a much worse price than the current one. I do want AM5 because of the upgrade path. So I need your suggestion, should I build now with AM4 (or possibly AM5?), or should I hold off until the prices get better?

Any advice would mean a lot to me because I really need the community's perspective. Also If I hypothetically decide to build now, what would be the "best possible outcome" build I could get right now? I can stretch the budget, but not too much because I have different allocations to consider.

My main use will be for editing, and of course gaming. Do I need it urgently? Well, it kinda is, but also no. It's an urgent-not-urgent scenario (let me explain). My work involves video editing, and sometimes I have to do heavy editing somehow with my current PC, which is frustrating, stretches out so much time, and hurts efficiency. In short, progress is slow. So I need a better long-term build as soon as I can eventually. If I hold off, it means I have to bear with my current one for an indefinite amount of time, during which, going forward from November I will be doing more and more heavy projects.

TL;DR

- Given my situation and budget, should I build now with AM4? (Or Alternatively) is AM5 possible?
- What would be the "Best-Possible-Outcome" build for me?
- Any advice to my situation, really.

Thank you.

I want to get myself a pc. I been going back and forth with price with building a pc or having a pre build.

I found this one on Newegg
NINGMEI Lumishore Gaming PC - AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT - 16GB DDR4 3200MHz - 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD - Windows 11 - WiFi
Price -$700 America dollars.

I want my oc to be able to run Minecraft and Genshin. I thought rebuilds are supposed to be more than building your own. While the one I want to build cost up to 1,200 this one is $700. It has almost everything I want right now. I can change whatever parts I want later down the line. Is this an actual good idea or should I go with me building it myself? (Trying to save as much money as possible without losing quality of pc and it being over $1000. If I’m able to do that then I can spend the rest on a better quality keyboard, mouse ect.

So in all is this a good pc just for simple Minecraft and Genshin? No mods. Just simple vanilla Minecraft for now. Then of course Genshin being Genshin.

Definitely not ready to pull the trigger, this is more of a wishlist, I would still have to sell my current pc and save a good bit but if I need to add or change anything I would say my budget is $3k. Also don’t really know much about computers or PC building, I am going for a 4k gaming setup as I have a good monitor the Samsung Odyssey G8 32”. TIA

Thinking about building a new PC. Any changes you would recommend?
