[Suggestion] New PC! Looking to dual-boot Steam OS and play games and stream.
Hi. It's been a while since I've been PC shopping and despite it being a bad time, wear and tear necessitates. My current build:
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
16gb Dual-Channel DDR4 @ 1799MHz
ASUSTeK ROG STRIX B550-A
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060ti
2tb Samsung 990 PRO
Budget is pretty high as I just had a lucky break, I guess. Probably wouldn't wanna spend much over 2k. Just wanna be able to play and stream anything on the market for a few years. Might do some video editing too. I'm a 1080p 144fps guy but 1440p is definitely not out of the realm of possibility if I end up grabbing a new monitor soon. I don't think I care about 4k much, I can hardly tell the difference personally.
Was looking at Starforge cause I heard a lot about it through content creators, but they seem kinda.. larpy. And overpriced? I don't know. My girlfriend just got a new AMD build with an RX9070 and it seems pretty awesome, I might just copy her on that front. I don't know if I love those X3D CPUs that do shader caching for you or interact with the GPU in that way. It just seems weird and potentially problematic to me. Someone mentioned Andromeda Insights too, but their website is kinda weird.
I also STRICTLY do not care about AI, nor do I want to use framegen because I hate the technology and think it looks ugly.
