- Budget: $3000 (I can go over if its worth it...)
- Usage
- School:I plan to starting a masters in data science in the upcoming autumn or spring semesters
- Random number crunching: I like to dabble in PowerBI, R, Excel. It's just fun for me.
- Photo editing: Currently using ON1 Photo Raw Max 2024, but may consider going back to Lightroom/Photoshop
- Basic gaming: Stuff like Rimworld, Cities Skyline 1 & 2, and Dota 2.
- I mainly do not want to have to redo my whole build again in 5 years. Ideally, it'll keep for 10+. My current PC is 5 years old with a 1060-3gb that's doing it's very best, which is almost never good enough these days.
I'm really torn between the 7900 XTX, and the RTX 4070 Ti Super, 4080, and 4080 Super. Not sure which is going to remain a strong contender for the next 5 years. In that time, though, I'd be okay with upgrading my GPU, hence why I'd like the MOBO to have PCIe 5 compatibility.
Oh, and this is also a present to me for getting a really good job. If you have any suggestions to further personalize it, I'd appreciate them.

How's this look?
That's a pretty compelling argument for going for a mid-range build. I'll definitely consider it.
Also, I have a 2 TB nvme currently that I'll just reuse.
