Dude, if you are suggesting people buy a PC then the priority should be making sure they get the best PC for the money rather than obsessing about trying to match what's in the PS5 Pro. For one second stop obsessing about the PS5 pro and just try to actually suggest a solid build for people.
Let me demonstrate why:
- Firstly, the 5500 only supports PCIe 3.0.
- Secondly it performs on par with (or worse in some cases) a 3600, which does support pcie 4.0, so it would make more sense to get that instead.
- Finally, the max upgrade being a 5800X3D (which won't run well on that motherboard you selected by the way, the VRMs are dogshit which means the CPU will run suboptimally, but that's a whole separate discussion entirely) is an issue in itself as demonstrated by the two systems I have:
As you can see, the 5800X3D is causing the 4090 to be bottlenecked, which doesn't bode well. More CPU headroom is required if you intend to go for a GPU with more performance than the 4080 in the future.
And you're demonstrating this how exactly? By suggesting a PC build so shit that someone would be better off just buying a PS5 pro? Your build is almost as bad as colt eastwood's (it's actually worse in some aspects, at least his gets you pcie 4.0):
The Intel decade you're referring to was the way it was because Intel chips were stagnant, so it simply wasn't worth moving to a new motherboard for such a small amount of extra performance. It was also an era when games were largely GPU bound because the assets were much smaller in size than the ones commonly on display in today's games (which is largely what contributes to the stuttering issues).
The rule of thumb when buying a new PC is that the platform should be able to last you a long time before you need to upgrade it. My lga 1155 build lasted across two console generations (the back end of the 360/PS3 generation and then the entirety of the PS4/Xbox one generation) and saw 3 GPU upgrades without any issues (8 years total). And then my x570 build was originally a 3900x which was then upgraded to a 5800x3d upon upgrading a 2070 super to a 4090 (this build is still going strong and coming up to 5 years, although the 4090 is the last gpu upgrade it will see because that's at the threshold of what the 5800x3d and DDR4 can handle,
hence it's not a platform that should be recommended for a new build today).
You're supposed to get a good degree of milage out of these things. But with the crappy builds being suggested, the poor souls that end up blindly following the advice coming out of camp butthurt, they will end up with systems that will barely last them a couple of years before major surgery is required.
See above. "but the PS5 pro" should not apply when trying to put together a PC, it is not a viable PC building strategy, never has been and never will be. It should be "let me try and build this PC in a way that will open up as many avenues as possible for future upgrade paths".
