    Might as go with the best gaming CPU (7800X3D) to avoid any potential bottlenecks/hitching in future.

    RX 6800 with its 16GB VRAM buffer should do grand in any console port at 60fps.

    RTX 4070 (€609+) also worth a gander. Only 12GB VRAM but access to DLSS/Frame-Gen.

    Worth looking at the 6800xt (https://amzn.eu/d/161LDWk) and 6950xt (https://amzn.eu/d/c8vpcpJ)

    • Both are being sold by NR INFO, not Amazon. So I'd be wary of the condition they were in.
    • Both those GPUs have higher power draw/spikes than the 6800 which is why I'm wary of recommending them now.

    Fair point, I'm iffy on nr info myself but it seems plenty of people are happy with them, and if he's looking for a stable 60 4k he should go with the 6800xt at least imo with how much more demanding/badly optimised games are getting,

    worth noting I emailed me info regarding the starfield promotion and they are sending keys.

    I'm gonna go the opposite here and say that for a 4K60 build you should absolutely not be blowing almost €500 on the CPU.

    A Ryzen 7600 build is more than enough and can always be upgraded in future if needed, but the 7600 will push 4K60 in its sleep.

    In fact a Ryzen 5800X3D build also an option would cost less and also push 4K60 without breaking even the slightest sweat.

    Focus here should be GPU. The budget is plenty for either of the above CPU options plus an RX7900XT card with change left over.

    Wouldn't touch any of the Nvidia cards crippled by ridiculously low VRAM for a brand new build.
