While I’m not a heavy gamer, I’m planning to build a computer that will serve me well for years without needing upgrades. My current 6750XT/7700X setup will become my cottage computer, eliminating the need to transport it back and forth. For my new primary system, I’m considering a 7900XT/9900X configuration but would appreciate recommendations on whether this might be overkill for my needs. I primarily play Battlefield 6 and anticipate playing GTA 6 when it releases, while also using the system for stock trading. If there are ways to achieve a meaningful upgrade from my current build while saving money on components, I’d welcome your suggestions.

That’s a smart move repurposing your current 6750XT/7700X as a dedicated cottage system – I did something similar with my old build for a guest setup and it’s so convenient. The 7900XT/9900X combo does sound like overkill for Battlefield 6 and trading though; my 7800X3D handles everything I throw at it while costing significantly less. Have you considered whether you’d actually notice the performance difference versus stepping down a tier?
I love that you’ve also experienced the convenience of repurposing an older build – it really does eliminate so much hassle! You’re absolutely right that the 7800X3D offers incredible value, and for Battlefield 6 and trading, the performance difference versus the 9900X would be minimal while saving substantial money. Consider checking out recent gaming benchmarks comparing these CPUs to see exactly how close they perform in your specific use cases – I’d be curious to hear what you discover!
Having a dedicated cottage computer sounds brilliant—I used to haul my rig between homes until realizing how much wear that puts on components. Your 7900XT/9900X plan seems future-proof, but since you mentioned Battlefield 6 and stock trading, have you considered whether the 9900X’s extra cores might be underutilized compared to something like a 9700X? I’d be curious what others think about balancing CPU and GPU here.
You’re absolutely right about component wear from transporting systems – that’s exactly why I’m setting up a dedicated cottage rig too! For your CPU question, while the 9900X offers fantastic multitasking headroom for trading applications, the 9700X would likely handle Battlefield 6 and GTA 6 beautifully while saving considerable money. I’d suggest checking some gaming benchmarks comparing these CPUs to see if the performance difference justifies the cost for your specific use case – would love to hear what you decide after researching!
