Buying New PC Help: 4k Gaming, Multi-streaming and 2 x recordings
Hey folks, I'm looking to buy a new PC but wanted to check I'm not missing anything before buying!
I'm looking for something that can game in 4k, while multi-streaming and recording / replay buffer 2 videos (one game, one cam recording). I'm thinking of going for the attached image. I downgraded the motherboard from the X870E as it only had 2 pcie slots and I'd prefer 3.
Does everything look good or will I hit some bottlenecks in a few years?

X870E tomahawk has also 3 pcie slots. In general x870 have more slots than B850. Or which x870e did you mean?
Ah, I looked at a couple and they both had two PCIE slots and assumed they all did 😅
Found a X870E I can add in with 3 pcie slots. Although is it actually worth? The motherboard is one of the main bits I’m not sure of.
Honestly the B850 tomahawk seems enough to me, other than having the x4 slot routed through the chipset and not directly to the cpu (so it's sharing bandwidth). That however doesn't mean it will be necessarily fixed with a x870 since the same cpu lanes are the same
Thanks @Beroun, do you think everything else looks good? Nothing that I’ll wish I got a better version of, or is complete overkill?
I would pick 5070ti over 5080 but ideally I would pick no graphics card at all and just swear at the gpu market. Anyways, the 5080 doesn't offer much over the 5070ti in my eyes, I might be biased tho.
I would pick the newest arctic liquid freezer III, as far as I know it tops the charts and isn't expensive
Oh and the RAM, get a 6000MHz CL30
The bottlenecks in a few years happen because of nvidia's vram greed but 16GB of vram should be okay for a while, even if it's too much money for that amount of vram
Cpu, psu and ssd seem great to me
I have a 2070 super so unfortunately I probably need an upgrade to make the most of everything else 😂
