Building my wife a replacement PC for her 6 year old rig. Not looking to salvage any parts as we are going to move her old computer to her office for work. I am willing to wait until post AMD announcement, and i can wait for a 3070 if that is the best deal. She wants a PC that is going to last for 4-5 years (should be easy because she doesn't typically play overly intensive games). I built her last rig, and just have been out of the CPU scene a lot lately, so I don't know what is the ideal devices atm. She does use two 27inch Benq monitors if that matters for any reason.
