Yo! I would like to build a PC for poker, and probably some AAA/demanding gaming one day (but have enough to play non-demanding games in the meantime, and be able to run several poker clients on a 4k screen), so it's a config without GPU : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VjhVXk
I would have liked to spend 600-700eur and I end up with twice that
Where can I save money? Did I pick anything dumb? For example, is a PCIe 5 SSD an overkill? Given the write speeds I thought that for poker DBs it would be better, and more and more games should support this format (therefore shorter loading times), I don't know if that's a valid reasoning.
The CPU is ~400 eur, and the motherboard 250 eur (but it seems to me that I can't get a cheaper one if I have DDR5 RAM/PCIe 5 SSD). The tower is not essential, but since it might be a very visible object in my room, I'm willing to pay 2x the normal price (for that in any case).
The budget is not necessarily a maximum budget but a budget that I can exceed if the return on investment is OK, like paying double for a processor if it is 2x better for my use that suits me, but not if I spend the double for 10% more gains, you get the idea, if it's beyond my budget I'd like to avoid components with diminishing returns, and it's valid for almost all components (except the tower as that's super subjective).
Thank you!
