Hello All,
First of all, Thanks to everyone who helped me out with the last build way back in 2010 (Yes, I still use the PC with only GPU upgraded to GeForce 1060).
Need help reviewing the build shown at the link below.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LG2FZZ
Budget: ~$2000 (I can stretch it to $2250 if the performance increase is substantial)
Resolution: 1440P @ 144Hz
System Purpose (gaming, workstation, HTPC, etc): World of Warcraft at max settings and very large excel files.
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): Heavy Excel use with very large files.
Do you plan to overclock?: Yes, after couple years.
Country: US
Preferred Stores / Sites: Amazon
Parts that can be reused: None
Do you need an OS?: No
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?: No, but I am planning to buy 1440p 144Hz monitor (Not counting towards the budget).
Few questions I have:
Can this build run WoW at max settings without much of an issue for couple of xpacs?
Should I go for 5900X? (Will that help at all with Excel or WoW?)
Should I upgrade to 3080 or 6800XT?
Should I downgrade the Motherboard? (I plan to overclock after couple years and I saw some good reviews for MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk).
Do I need more or less memory?
Any point in buying Samsung Evo 980?
In YouTube reviews like Gamer's Nexus & LTT, which game does Wow compare to in terms of FPS?
Although I already bought Ryzen 5600X and RTX 3070. I can wait for 3080/6800XT or 5900X to become available. Thanks again and sorry If I am coming off as a newb. Its been a while since I looked into computer parts.
