Dad wants a new PC. He’s considering spending way-too-much on an Alienware, so I figured I’d build him something better+cheaper.

I’ve built a couple PCs before, but never anything this high-end or expensive so I’d very much appreciate some feedback from an experienced community.

    Seems like a decent build. Really depends on what the use case though is for your Dad. GPU pricing is just crazy. For that price id try and find a 9070xt or a equivalent Nvidia GPU. If you can get away with an igpu might be worth spending money saved on the GPU for a better CPU with an igpu and more ram.

    Personally I’m trying to build something similar and an really struggling between just getting a ryzen AI 395 in a desktop with ~128gb ram and hoping that’ll hold me over till discrete gpus come down in price instead of trying to buy one now. But it doesn’t seem like they ever will…
