Thank you. I really appreciate your time. This is exactly what I needed. This will be a major upgrade from my build now (i7 4770k, Gtx 970)
Just hoping the next couple years run as well as this past build has

It’s entirely improbable to predict future developments concerning graphics processing units, particularly over a timeframe of three or five years. The principle of diminishing returns is evident; a system costing $1,500 could potentially yield approximately seventy-five percent of its performance while remaining perfectly suitable. Even more affordable configurations might prove sufficient in the coming years, allowing for simply upgrading the graphics card. However, those seeking to demonstrate superior capabilities and unconstrained by budgetary limitations can certainly pursue that path.
I hadn’t reviewed the complete discussion prior to responding, so it's possible this entire topic has already been addressed and revised. In November of 2015, I constructed my present setup utilizing an i7-4790K processor, which was already several years old at the time. Recently, I upgraded to a GTX 1660 Super and am quite satisfied with the outcome.

The system recommends substituting a Gskill 32gb 3000 kit with two Patriot Viper Steel modules, each boasting 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) of DDR4-4400 memory at a price of $129.99, as seen on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KXLFDL6?tag...th=1&psc=1

Considering a $3000 investment in a personal computer, it seems somewhat puzzling to settle for only a 500 gigabyte solid-state drive. I myself would favor a 2 terabyte SATA SSD, such as an MX500, over that traditional mechanical hard disk.

that’s genuinely excellent; if you're truly committed to this for a further five years, I wholeheartedly recommend investing in a 1TB solid-state drive because, considering we’re currently in 2020 and Red Dead Redemption 2 requires approximately 120GB of storage space, our situation could become quite challenging by 2025.
