Build gaming PC now or wait?

[Jan1996]

Hello,

I'm looking to build a gaming PC but I'm wondering if it's even worth it now, should i wait for new Intel Core Arrow Lake CPUs and NVIDIA RTX 5000 series graphic cards? By my knowledge it should be released later this year.

Here are the components which i put into pcpartpicker, is there anything wrong for now?

The 5090 will be released at the end of this year with the rest of the lineup starting to show up in early 2025. What is your resolution?

You want DDR5-6000 CL30 for these AM5 builds but I have to hand it to you ... fitting in a 4080 w/NH D15 and coming in under $2200 is pretty good ^^

So do you think it's a good idea to buy the PC now? Isn't it worth to wait for new NVIDIA 5000 series graphic cards or new Intel Core Arrow Lake CPUs ?

That's a tough call tbh. Rumor has it these 50XX cards will be a decent improvement over the current 40XX cards but without any leaked benches as of yet it's anyone's guess.
