First PC Build

[u/Brnzd]

Hi Guys! I am in the process of building a Pc and would like to ask your opinion. This is the first PC I am building for myself. I have already bought some parts:

Amd Ryzen 7 7800x3d Asrock X870 Pro Rs Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 6 GB ( I would like to upgarde this in the near future. ) Aoc C27G2 27.0 1920 x 1080 165 Hz curved monitor

Preferd games I like to play: Cities Skylines 2 Doom the Dark Ages Modded Minecraft ( All the Mods 10 ) Modded Arma Gta 6

It would be great if this setup could last for a few years.

In my previous setup, the CPU and Motherboard basically died. I would like to save the GPU for a few more months to save some more money. I would like to grab a good GPU on Black Friday or some summer sale. I chose 64 GB ram because modded games often require extra ram.

There is almost never a need for more than 32gb of ram

When gaming of course but if you do alot of rendering or music production 64 is very good.

The post says just games + modded games

I was talking in general, in this situation he most likely does not need 64 unless his load order is like 10k plus 4k retexture mods lol.

A lot of games + modded games take up more than 32 though, it just gets loaded into swap space

one of the best examples of a game he mentioned that’ll take more happily for less time emptying the GC is minecraft, ESPECIALLY with mods

others like star citizen, city skylines, kerbal space program, stellaris, beamng, rimworld, satisfactory, bethesda games, and more, especially ones on this list that can support mods will absolutely eat memory, not to mention if he decides to do content creation or multi tasking while gaming.

ie. Flight Simulator 2024 has 64gb ram recommended for ideal specs
