Finally buying a new PC after 10 years. My current one has a i5-3470, 8Gb DDR3 and a Nvidia GT640. I am surprised at how well it has lasted but it is finally time to upgrade. I am currently looking at the following

i7 11700K

32GB (4x 8GB) DDR4 3600MHz

970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe 1.3 M.2

GeForce GTX 1650

I know its probably overpowered but I want it to be usable for many years. My wife will use it for work sometimes which is only word processing and publisher and besides FM it will only be used for browsing and playing the other game I like, Patrician 3 (old school I know) Obviously the system is fairly high end but my current PC has meant I can't play many leagues on FM. I would really like to be able to play FM with most leagues not necessarily playable but with a lot of detail eg 150,000-200,000 players. What are peoples thoughts? Thanks in advance for your feedback.

That will be fine I built my own desktop system a couple of years ago and it was a probably half the price of buying off the shelf

modern parts makes it really straightforward now I am considering upgrading to an i9 system now only draw back is the motherboard wont take it so that needs to be changed too bugger thats whats holding me back
