If anyone starts seeing more ads then usual then it's going towards Chief's 4090 fund.

I assume your budget is a bazillion bucks!
How serious a gaming rig do you want? What resolution? Do you want bling or just a good gaming box?

Do you really want to build a separate machine? Is it more of a psychological separate work from play sort of thing? Because there is a fair amount of overlap and lots of memory, fast storage and a decent CPU will always benefit gaming too.
While I don't do anything professional on mine I'm glad I still opted for 32gb RAM and a 5900x because when I'm stuffing around in Unreal I can also keep Blender, Substance Painter and 573 Chrome tabs open and absolutely crush compiling, rendering and light building.

Eeeeyyyy GoG got the music license sorted for Alpha Protocol. I wonder how that holds up these days?

AM5 uptake must be low if they're going to keep supporting new/updated products on AM4. My 5900x at stock while gaming already boosts to 4.8ghz no sweat as advertised on the box and I've seen it occasionally peak at 4.95ghz. If Zen 3 gets the same clock bump as the Zen 2 that's allegedly going into the PS5 Pro then a 5900XT should comfortably boost clear of that magical 5.0ghz number.

AMD preparing Ryzen 5000XT series, yet another update for AM4 socket - VideoCardz.com
AMD to launch Ryzen 5000 XT series with faster clocks Something that has gone under a radar (including ours) is that AMD is also launching new Ryzen 5000 processors, effectively prolonging the AM4 socket yet again. AMD expanded its desktop processor lineup earlier this year, with a particular...

Depends on the workloads you're running for work,
If you're going pure gaming.
Nvidia 30/40 RX Budget appropriately
I'd recommend AM5 for CPU, but I am biased slightly towards better multi-core performance. (also all the Intel security stuff)
32GB RAM should be plenty for gaming only.

Your trip to the bank manager first.
That's as expensive as a decent entry level PC.

RTX 5000 launch sounds like it's shaping up to be 3000 launch v2.0. RIP.
Hoping my PC makes it to the end of Windows 10 support in October next year, then I'll sort myself out with a brand new system. Also hope Windows 11 is replaced by then too cos I really don't like it.
Current PC is almost 9 years old, no real upgrades in that time except for a second 2TB HDD and a 500GB NVMe SSD, but it was a beast when I got it.
i6700K, 16GB RAM, GTX 980Ti

RTX5000 rumours heating up but they can't agree. Some state only the 5090 will launch this year while others say the 5080 will come first.
This will be the first time in quite a few generations I'll have to hold off buying in early. Not only am I also waiting for Zen 5 but I'm actually buying a new car this year - something I haven't done many times as I'm not a car man. Only my 5th one ever lol. To me they're just an appliance and another bill.

I'd be on my third if my first didn't get stolen after only about 12 months.

Joke's on you chiefy. It was when I was living in Brisbane and it got pinched from a Woolworths carpark in mt Gravatt

I read something recently that surprised me about Mt Gravatt having high car theft stats. My memory of the area was much better than that. When I was a teenager I worked at the Woolworths just down the road in another centre. And to keep it PC related my mate's brother owned a PC store around there called "Floppy Diks" and I kid you not the motto on the sign was "where you won't get screwed".
