Is My Build Good Enough for Gaming?

-

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since I dove into PC building, and I’d love your input on a new setup I’m considering. I chose one of the top 5 most popular parts for each component on PC Part Picker, but I’m uncertain about whether it all comes together nicely. My budget is flexible, but I’d prefer not to go over $5,000. Here are the links to my new build and my old setup for reference:

I’ve been dealing with some serious juddering issues while gaming recently, especially when trying to play a new demo with friends, so it’s definitely time for an upgrade, potentially even a fresh build altogether. Any feedback would be really appreciated!

Your build looks solid, but I suggest checking out this list: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NPDpnp](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NPDpnp). It features a better motherboard chipset and RAM that work better with AM5 setups. Plus, the 9070XT performs similarly to the 5070TI but is more budget-friendly!

Thank you! I’ll definitely check that out.

One important tip: don’t buy your Windows OS from there! I found a $15 key online that works just fine. It’s a much better deal!

Great point! I upgraded from Windows 7 to 10 before, and I’ve had issues upgrading to 11, so I definitely need to look into that.

I have a similar setup but went with a 14700K Intel chip instead. It runs beautifully even at max settings for demanding games like Space Marines 2. You might want to consider going Intel if you prefer it!

Thanks for the insight! I struggled with ‘Jump Ship.’ I’ve always had an Intel preference for no real reason, so I’ll look into that as well.
