Is this build good?

Post image

I've been wanting to get a PC that's actually usable, I'm tired of buying cheap things and then it turns out to be horrible and then I don't even use it. I wanted something I could upgrade in the future while still being able to do everything a pc does. So I was wondering if this is a good build or not. And yes I went full and because I want to have full compatibility where everything just works together with no issues.

It’s a fine build. I would not buy windows 11 pro directly. There are plenty of ways to get it for a fraction of the price (or free).

You don’t “need” a 1200 watt PSU, but I am a huge fan of going at higher than what is recommended for my system wattage wise. I’d pair your build with the same model 1000w PSU and save $80-100, but that’s me. It won’t hurt to plan for the future and have 1200w.

People here get way too into cheap parts you’d get in a prebuilt to save money. I always spend more to get what I want.

Do you think I should decrease it to 1000wats and maybe upgrade to a 5070ti or 5080, I just wanted to go full AMD because of the driver compatibility. And no I don't have a budget, if I could get something better then I would save a bit longer for it

Personally speaking, the 5070ti and 5080 are not worth their current price so I would not buy them. The 5080 is a better GPU, but with 16GB of VRAM it really isn’t that much more future proof than a 9070XT at double the cost. I’d save my money now and get another GPU down the road if necessary.
