I'm thinking about upgrading to a new custom-built PC and wanted some feedback on the specs I'm considering. My current setup includes a B350M Pro-VDH motherboard, an i9-9900k processor, an RTX 2080 Ventus graphics card, and 32GB of RAM. The upgrades I'm looking at are an MSI Pro Z790-P WIFI motherboard, an i9-14900KF processor, 64GB DDR5-4800 RAM, and an AMD RX 9070 XT graphics card. Just to clarify, I'm buying a completely new system instead of upgrading my current one because it would cost me around the same or more to upgrade my existing setup. I mainly want to make this new build future-proof, particularly with the DDR5 RAM upgrade in mind. Any thoughts?

I think the parts you're looking at could be solid, especially with 64GB of RAM and the RX 9070 XT. Just make sure you get a high-quality motherboard to support future upgrades well.
What are you mainly using your computer for? Right now, I wouldn't recommend Intel CPUs just for gaming. If gaming is your priority, keep that in mind while choosing your components!
I mostly game but also use it for some business tasks. I'm looking to future-proof my system, which is why I'm focusing on DDR5 RAM and considering a full upgrade.
