You're thinking about getting everything ready before starting a full build. It's true that many recent builds with 30 series GPUs and Ryzen/Intel CPUs are performing well right now. It might take a bit longer to gauge how stable and reliable this new tech will be, but with Windows 11 launching soon, you'll have a chance to test it out. The price for components like the 690 motherboard and 12th generation Intel should be high, but you could definitely manage a top-of-the-line CPU if you're comfortable with the cost.

Absolutely, it’s a solid investment. Expect improved performance and likely a more efficient upgrade route. You might hit GPU limits initially, but upgrading later will ease that pressure. Choosing an 11th generation or 5000 series chip should also reduce costs thanks to the newer CPU design.
