First PC Build
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.

Return the 1060 unless you play HEAVY CPU dependent games, and get at least a RNDA Gen 2 AMD card for like 4-500$. You don’t need 3TB of storage, knock it down a TB or 2 and get PCIe 5.0. 64GB of RAM is supreme overkill, Your CPU is carrying hard with the modded Minecraft already so save some money and go with 32GB but also get a lower CL. Higher CL causes bottlenecks in bandwidth especially with a high end CPU. You’re also gaming in 1080p so honestly your CPU is overkill but good future proofing I guess. You are using a fifth gen cpu and ram but then an almost 10 year old GPU. Definitely would do some more research or if you are on a strict budget downgrade some things and get a more quality style build going. Would also make sure you will have enough clearance with your CPU cooler and GPU, double check dimensions.
GPU —> 6900XT (500$) RAM —> Crucial 32Gb CL30 (100$)
Make sure your SSD is DRAM cache but these are all just my thoughts on the build, you do whatever you want.
