So, the time has come to upgrade my i7 4790k and GTX 760.

I’m looking at getting the following, but I’m stuck on what graphics card to get (this is something I am happy to replace in a couple of years, if I was to get something like the 4060)

PC specs that I have landed on.

  • AMD 7800X3D
  • 32gb of DDR5 6000Mhz CL36 rammy boys
  • Gigabyte B650 ATX motherboard
  • Noctua 140mm CPU cooler

I am carrying over the following from my old PC

  • Case (Fractal Disign Pop)
  • SSD storage
  • EVGA 850w gold PSU

I am having difficulty picking a graphics card, I’m looking at the 4060, is there anything as good as from team Red that I could consider? I do plan on upgrading in a couple of years time.

    I’d use the sata SSD for OS and the NVMe for games/storage.

    It depends on the actual drives and usage but the advantage of NVMe is largely in sequential speeds - the difference in random access speeds is not usually as dramatic.

      The speed increase over Regular SSD and NVME is justified, but not requited just yet, I will use the SSDs I have until I fancy grabbing a 2tb NVME at a later date.

      I do plan on using the 1tb 2.5" ssd in my server as cache drive.
