New PC (1st in 10 years)

Post by Stephen »

My current desktop (i7 4770k with a 1080) is approaching 10 years old, so I figured it was finally time to upgrade in style. I plan on getting a decade out of this one.

i9 12990, 64GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Formula motherboard, and until the 4x series come out, a GTX 3070. Power supply has plenty of ass - 1300 watts.

Very Nice :mrgreen:

Been thinking the same thing myself recently now prices are returning to a somewhat more sensible level.

I bet you are glad you bought this when you did! Everything has gone kind of crazy regarding prices of components in the tech space! How are you getting on with it? Meeting expectations?
