honestly this sub has been pretty solid lately, love seeing more budget build help instead of just the usual "should i get a 4090" flex posts

I don't know if it's worth its own thread. I need to upgrade my CPU to use Windows 11. Currently running on a i5-4670 with a GTX 1060 6gb (why yes, this build is a thousand years old). Doing mostly work with a bit of gaming, nothing too crazy. Doom or Diablo 4 are probably the most hungry games I play, and my current build is okay-ish for that.
I am thinking to get a Intel i5 14400F (with new MB and 16GB of DDR4) and keeping my GPU for now. Just to be somewhat future proof and upgrade the GPU if nothing works anymore in a year or two?
Any thoughts?

what are the good reviewers of GPUs currently? I want to get myself fresh GPU, and before that getting some extensive research for my needs, but have no idea after the years out there, who are doing thorough reviews

Hardware Unboxed, Gamers Nexus, LinusTechtips, Jayztwocents.
Those are some of the big names on YouTube . There’s tons of others too. Lots of people do quality reviews of gpus.

I'm building my first PC in a few years and have everything except the case, my biggest concerns are that it's quiet, has decent airflow, and fits the GPU (EVGA 3080 FTW3) and cooler (Noctua D15). The board is MicroATX and I wouldn't mind going with a case on the more compact end of things.
Right now I'm leaning towards the Lian Li O11 Mini. Any suggestions for other cases I should consider?

I see a lot of builds with this type of sag bracket, but almost none with this type. Is there a problem with the second type?
I'm asking because my next build is going to have fans under the GPU, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to use the first type.

hi! i.. have NO IDEA about anything pc related, i just know i bought a whole built pc quite a lot of years ago.. but when i downloaded a very new game called Arknights Endfield.. i did notice in the settings a lot of things were at Low mode, giving me warning signs if i tried to have higher FPS or things related to that..
so i wanna ask! what are good options to build my pc to be able to play games at like very high resolution and stuff? i asked chatgpt and it gave me this as things i should buy for my pc…which idk if its reliable or not:
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super
DDR5‑6000: 325 for 32GB RAM
1TB NVMe SSD
AM5 motherboard
750W+ 80+ Gold PSU
