Hey everyone!
So I've waited a long time for this build, now that GPU availability is finally here I'd like to upgrade my computer. I'm obviously gaming but I'm a level designer as well and I'd like to be able to use this build as something that will last in the future and this is why I am currently looking at a 3090, I'm thinking that the extra vram will help on those heavy, non optimized, projects I am really open to suggestions and maybe going for a 3090 is overkill as a level designer, idk.
For gaming purposes, tbh I'm not gaming at 4k or even 2k, even though it might interest me in the future, but I'm still gaming at 1080p right now, so I guess this is not the big focus here.
As much as I'm trying to do my own research on everything I can't help but feel kind of lost at all the information out there, so I'd like a little bit of help at this point
Ho and btw the prices are in Canadian Dollars (CAD)!
CPU - Intel 12700F Processor Core i7-12700F 12/20 2,1 GHz 6xxChipset
Graphics Card - I am looking at 3090 from EVGA, ASUS or MSI at this point, the choice of which one of them will depend on the one going on sale for the right price as the right time
Motherboard - GIGABYTE B660 AORUS Master DDR4
RAM - G.SKILL Trident Z Neo Series RGB DDR4 3600 MHz 32 Go (16 Gbx2)
SSD's/HDD's - Samsung Série 970 EVO Plus - 2 To PCIe NVMe - SSD interne M.2 (MZ-V7S2T0B/AM) + Seagate BarraCuda 3TB 5400 RPM 256MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drives

In all that, I already have the Ram, Storage and Case, I have the CPU cooler too but it's 5y/o and I'd like to change it at this point, not trusting it in a new build lol.
Basically I have until December 15th to buy the first half and on January 1st I'll have to finish the build, so the idea is to grab as much as I can on black Friday I guess now idk if I should go for the GPU first or the other parts...
Like I said I'm open to suggestions and I might have made some mistakes/dumb choices in there anyway!
Thanks for your help!
