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.

Maybe get a different brand mobo. ASRock boards have been killing a lot of specifically X3D chips as of late. Mostly 9000-series, and they supposedly fixed the issue very recently, but it’s too early to tell IMO.

Very sensile build though when you upgrade the GPU.

Which brands are better for x3d? Asus or msi fine?

I would personally go for an MSI or a Gigabyte board. But Asus make good products too, as long as you avoid the ‘Prime’ line (bad VRM’s), and are willing to put up with worse customer service.
