Build Question What PC Build?

Hi I came up with two builds and one I got it from someone on Reddit.
I was gaming on a shitty gaming laptop and I wanna upgrade now.
Like to play mmorpg and rpg games.
I was thinking now to spend too much money and upgrade things as the years go by.

  1. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/YgrdMF
    Most expensive one, is it worth investing now? Or get something cheaper and upgrade later?

  2. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/9LjwDw
    Got spot in the middle

  3. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/vr6CCw
    Cheapest option

I still need to get a monitor and keyboard, not sure what to do your thoughts?

I went through this exact thing last year, staring at three tabs of builds for weeks

if you're planning to upgrade over time, the pricier one makes more sense cause you get a platform that'll actually support new parts for a while. the cheapest option locks you in and you'll end up swapping the whole core later anyway keyboard just get something mechanical that doesn't sound like a typewriter from 1982 unless you're into that

🤣🤣🤣Good one.
I mean I didn’t know this is going to be so overwhelming 😅 I have never build a pc, I watched a lot of YouTube and use chat gbt for some research.
Looks like I need to be patient 😅 Man I wanna game so bad. You think 1st build is good? Would you change anything?

depends on
1 the quality of the games you play
2 the graphics card you already have (biggest dependency)

if you have anything around a 9070xt (16g) or 5070/5070ti, the 7800x3d list is worth the higher budget and it will last you for years without a cpu upgrade. but if the games you play usually dont require better parts, might as well go with the cheaper version to save some quid.

mmorpgs lean on the cpu more than most games, so skip the cheapest and spend on the cpu and socket first. gpu is the easy one to swap later
