(yes this is more than $800, but the idea is buy this w/o the GPU for ~$600 And instead try and find a used RX 5600 XT for $100. later buy a RX 7700 XT and sell the 5600 XT and then pair 7600X with an RX 7800 XT or 4070 Super for 1440 later on)
this was a build that im considering most but i really wanna make sure im getting what i want (the ability to play smoothly)
i did another post and someone said the gpu would be too weak if i went the upgrade route? so is that true or, i genuinely cant tell
ive looked around and i keep getting in between amd5 with ddr5 and intel ddr4/5, and i dont understand either, some say amd is better for budget builds while others use intel?
i thought ddr5 was faster but some say i should go with ddr4 even with amd5 but wouldnt amd5 ddr5 harvest more worth?
im aware theres a new generation coming so should i just await or would it be optimal to build now?
sorry for all the questions im just confused
ty for your help
