It's time for me to build a new gaming computer. I'm looking to build something that will last me the next 5 years, my last 5 year build is at its end.

My planned build:

6000MT/s 64GB 32x2 gskill trident z5

PCIe 4.0 m.2 nvme 2TB mushkin vortex

Asus prime z670p

AMD Ryzen 9 7900x

Case, PSU, water cooling are just fun extras.

I use a lot of VMware, hence the memory. And I game a bunch, mostly EFT (tarkov) of late.

I like AMD, I've always had an AMD CPU, usually with Nvidia GFX.

I'm want to try AMD for graphics. I run 2k graphics, but I see myself getting a 4k 27inch freesync monitor in the future.

I'm looking at the 7900 xtx, it's just super pricey. It's about a year old, so it doesn't feel like a good decision.

I'm looking for a graphics card recommendation, I'd appreciate any other comments or suggestions for the rest of my build.

It’s more technically correct. 6000mt/s ram is actually operating at 3000mhz, but is called 6000 because of the “double” part of “double data rate”. Colloquially it’s easy to just say 6000mhz because that’s the verbiage used for everything else, but it’s not entirely accurate. Whether that really matters is up to you ahaha. I don’t remember exactly what caused LTT to switch, but part of me wants to say it was a petty response to some “well ackshually” comments on YT
