Alright so I think now that we have a good idea of where the CPUs and GPUs land, it's time to give out some recommendations! Now this is gonna be my own opinion thus it will have my own bias so free to make your own!
High End build:
CPU: Ryzen 5900X/5800X or Intel 10900k/10850k/11700k/10700k
GPU: 4k/1440P/Raster/RT/DLSS: Nvidia 3080 - 1440P/1080P/Raster/Okaysh RT: AMD 6800XT
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z CL 16 3600mhz 32GB
Motherboard: Asus Dark Hero for AMD or Asus Strix Z590-E for Intel.
PSU: Evga or Corsair 850 Watt
SSD: Western Digital SN850 for PCI-E 4.0 or Samsung 970 Evo for PCI-E 3.0
Case: Lian Li 011 Dynamic XL
Mid Ranged:
CPU: Ryzen 5800X/5600X or Intel 11700k/10700k/10600k
GPU: 1440p/1080p/Raster/RT/DLSS: Nvidia 3060 Ti/3070 - 1440P/1080P/Raster: AMD 6700XT
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V CL 16 3600mhz 16GB
Motherboard: MSI X570 Tomahawk / Asus TUF B550 for AMD or Gigabyte Aorus Elite Z590 / Asus Prime Z590P for Intel.
PSU: Evga or Corsair 750 Watt
SSD: Western Digital SN850 for PCI-E 4.0 or Samsung 970 Evo for PCI-E 3.0
Case: Lian Li Lancool 2 Mesh
From what I have seen, some of the Z590 motherboards are actually cheaper than the Z490 while giving you more features and having support for both 10th and 11th gen Intel CPUs. But it will obviously depend on the store and etc.
Personally I think the GPU line up is split into two main categories. High End and Mid Ranged. And based on the performance numbers, I think the 3080 is the key high end GPU and the 3060 Ti is the Key Mid Ranged GPU. It's only 10% slower than a 3070 while costing $100 less at MSRP. It also has the same memory bandwidth and capacity as the 3070. It's similar to how the 970 was vs the 980... Well before people found out about the gimped vram and false cuda core count on the 970 which hopefully won't happen this time around. Also you can save typically around $100-$150 if you don't get ram with RGB. |
Why no 11900K in the high-end? Or was that 11700K meant to be a 11900K? Also, for the mid-ranged: Why no RX6800? Or is that one too big for your Mid-range but too weak for the high-end? |
Don't really know the performance of the 11900k plus I doubt it will be worth the extra price as it's also an 8 core 16 threaded part. Similar to how we don't know the performance of the i5 11600k.
Yea imo the 6800 is too pricey to be in the mid ranged and the 6800XT is a better gpu for "high end."
