So, the time has come to upgrade my i7 4790k and GTX 760.

I'm looking at getting the following, but I'm stuck on what graphics card to get (this is something I am happy to replace in a couple of years, if I was to get something like the 4060)

PC specs that I have landed on.

  • AMD 7800X3D
  • 32gb of DDR5 6000Mhz CL36 rammy boys
  • Gigabyte B650 ATX motherboard
  • Noctua 140mm CPU cooler

I am carrying over the following from my old PC

  • Case (Fractal Disign Pop)
  • SSD storage
  • EVGA 850w gold PSU

I am having difficulty picking a graphics card, I'm looking at the 4060, is there anything as good as from team Red that I could consider? I do plan on upgrading in a couple of years time.

I didn't experience that at all. My DDR5 computer posted immediately on first boot.

That's interesting, I've had it happen on several occasions. Maybe I've been unlucky or had weird ram timings.

By chance do you know the speed and timings of the ram in your system?

Two 16GB sticks of DDR5 4800 (PC5 38400) 32GB total

And the MOBO is a Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro

I didn't change any timings, everything is running stock. There's faster stuff now, but I bought this when it was bleeding edge and the MOBO and RAM alone cost me $650.
