Started picking parts for a upcoming PC build but I could use some input:
CPU: Ryzen 9 5950X
Board: ASUS Crosshair VIII Dark Hero (installed)
GPU: Still on a RX480 Nitro+ for the time being, I can't choose between a 3090 or a 6900 XT
Cooling: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360, open loop when i'm getting another GPU some day
RAM: G.Skill F4-3200C14D-3200GTZ overclocked to 3600 16-16-16-36
Case: Fractal Design Define 7 Solid Black
Storage: 980 Pro 1TB for Windows/scratch disk, 860 Evo 1TB for storage, 970 Evo Plus 2TB for games, SM863 as scratch disk for things like Radeon ReLive
PSU: Fractal Design Ion+ 860W
Things i'll be doing with it:

Things i'll be doing with it:
- Internet/shitposting on STH :^)
- Gaming (GTA V, Cyberpunk 2077, HITMAN III, BeamNG) at 1200p with a possible upgrade to 1600p in the (far!) future and GTA V at 2400p once in a while for screenshots
- (4k) Rendering in Sony Vegas once in a while for things like filming my appliances, Dell Precisions or game soundtracks
- Playing around with VMs
- Capturing benchmark footage
- Possibly ditching Windows for Zorin OS and using VM passthrough
