All,

I've never built a PC before but I've don'e a lot of research. Even so I'm sure there's something I'm missing... Please see my Amazon list below and provide any feedback or opinions. Thank you

Currently looking after son and not having much access to my pc - so give me a few hours and I can look for you. Intel and amd are effectively the same - you really don’t need to know much to use either. Plug and play most of the time, but with the amd processor using like 200 watts less electricity to get the same performance

I responded to another user here but I put this together. It appears to be the same cost and probably significantly better? Any thoughts on this or suggestions? Is it overkill? Will it be able to play games for 7+ years? Thank you.

All looks good buddy! All compatible with one another, and yeah I'd say that'll easily last you 7 years! The only recommendation I'd give is - do you need this PC today? Nvidia just announced the 4070 super today with 20% more cores and 16gb of vram. It may outperform the 7800xt for the same price, but, if it does, your 7800xt may get a 50-100 dollar reduction. So give it a couple of weeks and I feel you'll either:

  • Get a better GPU for the same price
  • Get the same GPU you already want for less
