Setsul. 50$. 512gb nvme gen 3/4. fast and reliable.
yes i have pci-e 4.0
my usual flow chart when looking at an ssd is as followed: is it nvme? > does it have dram? is it samsung/micron?
as you can see this approach is severely flawed because i know fuck all about NAND, controllers etc

i need a drive for Premiere 23, no heavy effects or plugins, large files high bitrate 1080p/1440p. i will store absolutely nothing else on it but im kind of wary about samsung because i think they fell off significantly in terms of reliability, from the past 12 months reading honest buyer reviews they had them dying fuck knows how, and as for second hand experience i had a friend have his new 970 evo plus wear out like crazy, it was like 30% write resource capacity gone in a matter of 2 months while he wrote absolutely nothing on it, and it kept riddling with new bad blocks

i had a Micron_2200_MTFDHBA512TCK that came with my last laptop and while it was obviously faster than my dramless 240gb sata 3 bottom of the barrel phison controller drive it was still nothing to write home about, and around 80% of advertised speed

i have a store with a 980 512gb on sale, how gimped is it going to be without dram? will gen 4 improve write signficantly or improve render speed to any meaningful extent?

im not really concerned about the CPU cooling because i dont know how hard are you gonna try and push it since 13600k can draw ~150W+ under load when OC'd and i cba to look up the clearence of your ITX case and ram sticks to figure out the best cpu cooler for you not that i know a whole lot about it

its just that some versions of dual fan cards especially budget ones Asrock included tend to sound like a hair dryer under load(shitty fans and high RPM) or have poor contact with the VRM or have shitty or not enough VRM or awful cheap cooling pads or they cheaped out on aluminum amount
if the difference is 20-30$ for a better version i would pay it gladly for the peace of mind but this also depends on how quiet you want the whole build to be, i can stand ~50-55dB because I sit in headphones/earphones all day when i use the computer

yes i really dont like TN panels but you want 360hz dyac so fuck am i gonna do
looks good to me but perhaps a better cooled and better power delivery on the 6700XT could be in order

the way I see it you have 3 choices

1. stay below 1.5K and just have a nice 2022 mid range pc from scratch on AM5 platform or like a 12600k with the GPU being a 3060/4060. its going to be fluid and snappy however, will take its time while rendering anything large
   
2. be about 2K and squeeze in a nice little 3080(12gb)/3080ti/4070(maybe even ti) if you will really benefit from GPU acceleration in your software and have a nice little bonus of being able to considerably crank up graphics settings in single player for the next 2-4 years even though you never mentioned those games once
   
3. go balls deep 2.2-2.5K and have a crazy rendering rig that you can game with on the side

in which ever case you are going to need this https://www.dealabs.com/groupe/cartes-graphiques because high end GPU prices are still bonkers
i just really dont know how well recent AMD card accelerate editing software

the part I am still trying to figure out is how serious you are about the whole editing thing because it seems to me you are on a 1080p 8bit screen whereas ideally you'd have a 4K monitor with 99% DCI-P3/Adobe RGB coverage and I dont think a 240hz panel older than 2021 has even half decent gamma coverage

either way I would suggest you get 32Gb of RAM, 12Gb of VRAM and ideally at least 8 Cores, these wont do you any good in tf2 but if youre serious about your video and photo editing i would look at R7 7700/i5 13600k at the very least

figure out which of the 3 choices suits you best and ask the german guy for parts

today they fuck me
tomorrow they fuck you

I played tf2 on windows xp until 2018 because I had no RAM(1 gig then 3) and because I had higher avg FPS than on 7
if you havent got a resemblence of social life or use the computer for virtually anything else then sure go for win7, but consider this:
security updates? good luck with that
half the apps you download not working or resorting to using ancient versions of them if even possible? its everyday bro
motherboard drivers dont exist for windows 7? you guessed it

then again you prefer it so why the fuck should I or anyone else tell you what to do, I mean I used windows xp 5 years past its end of support

Depends, just make sure you dont get the OEM models like the green PCB no radiators because these are 99% of the time JEDEC specced(CL19 and CL22 for 2666 and 3200mhz respectively) as they are high latency low bandwidth. Considering today they cost the same there is no reason to buy 2666 other than compatibility issues or rare use cases like inability to adjust frequency and just tinkering with timings on H chipset Intel boards. Its essentially the 1333 of DDR4.

RAM in itself is a rabbit hole with people religiously trying to achieve the highest frequency with the lowest timings, paying 2x sometimes 3x for 16gb, but for what youre doing a 3200MHz CL16 kit that is as abundant as sand on this planet is fine. Dont go out paying out 30-40eur more for 1.5ns faster RAM when youre not an overclocker if you can double the capacity for that price. Just ask the German guy for a good mobo and a decent RAM kit available in stores in France because I dont know shit about MOSFET's, VRM's and power delivery on specific motherboards or anything regarding good RAM kits and their subsequent finetuning.

You are just going to hit a brick wall with or without an upgrade to a 3770k. Cyberpunk can do better than 4c8t. DDR4 if done right is 3 times the bandwidth of your "salvaged" DDR3 which I assume is just a bunch of mixed 1333&1600 kits that you have running at 1333, (unless you happen to have the god tier 2133/2400MHz sticks but lets face it, you dont). AAA games do make use of the high memory bandwidth thanks to the RAM speeds and VRAM speeds improving greatly since the Sandy Bridge came out and the IPC being able to finally properly make use of all this. These new games are made mostly with current gen consoles in mind, and they use a single memory pool of very high speed &/or bandwidth VRAM.

Even overclocked the lower core count, ancient by today memory bandwidth and IPC performance is just going to make your game feel like shit no matter what you do. In heavier scenes or in any mention of intense traffic you are going to stutter bad. The allegedly 40 fps figure is max or average fps, not the 1% or 0.1% lows. Your newly yet to be bought GPU will see 40-70% usage. You will dip.

Obviously you have said that you dont want to bin this whole PC, but do you really have to? I dont see how a working 2500K+a working mobo(even better if overclockable) and 32 gigs of ram will get you way less than a 100EUR if sold. You could then buy a r5 5500/i3 12100f/13100f, a mobo and 16gb(50eur) or 32gb(80eur if you so must) of DDR4 all for less than 250eur(or 20-40 eur more with the intel because fuck them and their b660/b760 prices). With the 100EUR you would be having from selling 2500K and the rest it would all add up to 150eur give or take which brings you further a decade.

And this isnt just Cyberpunk, this has been happening for at least 2 years now and will only keep happening as they pump out new AAA titles.

anyway this was my 2 cents

at this point you arent necessarily looking for a specific monitor, you are looking to fit a monitor into your budget and it being available in France at the same time
if you could get it out of america for 400$(350 on bestbuy) the HP Omen 27qs seems like a no brainer for the price but thats not how the cookie crumbles so lets see

coinz over zerox AND killer4fun? i arent think that

my mans played 2 seasons and no international lans come on now(love his s17&18 fragvids btw)

punchline aint shit where is bulle in this list?

i feel like this could have been hocz and i wouldnt spot the difference

there are 6448 players playing prem each season on main spots, are you telling me in 16 years cuby and kaper made it to top 100 with no lans no wins no nothing

where is byte
