Starfield is my current 'need' to build a new PC - What i have, i built in 2017 because my PC at the time was a cobbled-together mess and i wanted to treat myself, so i built all-new with a 7700k, 32GB, and a fresh 1080ti - It's been great all this time, but really is showing its age. So next up i'll be building something to last me at least 4 years and it may well be: 7900xtx (but waiting until towards the end of the year in case something better comes out, or waiting a little longer is justified), 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5, PCIE5 mobo and a 2TB M.2, a 2TB SSD and a 1200w PSU.

If that doesn't last me 4 years.....

And i at least know i can slam any game to max at 4k 120hz (bar RT) without worry, and perhaps with FSR.

Ideally i'd like to wait for a card after the 7900XTX, maybe this supposed RDNA 3.5, or maybe the 8000 series if it's soon enough. All rumours right now, so i will at least wait until maybe November or early December and then cash in on the included Starfield with the CPU. Bonus!
