The Battlefield 6 Game-PC I would buy in September 2025

[JRMBelgiumTwitch]

The last time I configured a PC was in September 2024. CPU's were out of stock and Nvidia didn't have any real competition from AMD. We ended up with a build that included a 7800X3D and a 7800XT and at a price of €1650. The goal was to configure a much better deal for the same price now that CPU prices have come down and now that AMD is able to compete with expensive Nvidia products like the 5070TI for a much lower price. With FSR4 you no longer have to fear about the upscaling quality in modern games.

Arguments:

- The 7800X3D has gone down in price. Making it a much better deal then the more expensive 9800X3D. The 9800X3D is on average only 8% faster but costs almost 28% more. On top of that, the 7800X3D has a much lower power draw resulting in gaming sessions where you CPU uses less then 100watt!
- The Thermalright Peerless Assasin 120 SE is cheap but offers amazing cooling performance and is also recommended by GamersNexus and Hardware Canucks. It cools like the Noctua NHG-D15 G2 at less then half the price.
- ASRock B850 Pro-A WiFi is a more modern board with PCIE 5.0 support and better VRM's then our previously selected B650 motherboard from Gigabyte. The PCIE 5.0 slot also makes it more future-proof and a higher resell-value if you ever decide to sell the system.
- Memory has gone down in price and now you can get 32GB CL30 6000mts memory for less then €100. Kits with higher speeds and lower latency do exist, but cost up to twice as much with almost no performance gain on 1440p on an X3D CPU.
- The SN850X was my "go to" NVME for a long time. Due to it's popularity, it didn't drop at all in price in the past year. Resulting in Samsung offering a faster drive at a lower price.
- The Lian Li Lancool 207 offers amazing cooling performance. Not only does it look good, but you'll find it at the top of the performance charts in terms of GPU and CPU cooling.
- We traded in our more expensive Seasonic Focux GX-1000 ATX 3.0 PSU for a cheaper high quality PSU made by Seasonic engineers. You can try, but you're gonna find it very tough to find negative reviews about this product. The 10y warrenty should also give you some piece of mind.  I'm not a fan of the NZXT brand for moral reasons, but I can't deny that the C850 PSU offers amazing value.
- Because this time around we were able to save money on all components of the system, we manage to buy a GPU that is 29% faster then our previously picked 7800XT. Not only that, the GPU is twice as fast in Raytracing and supports the new and improved FSR 4. Performance wise it's very simular to an Nvidia 5070TI which costs a lot more.

Remember to:
- Always consult multiple sources!
- Do research yourself!

And the biq guestion is.. How will this €1700 build run BF6? I can't tell you that yet...but the beta benchmarks show very good results:
