I got recommended this set up by a friend. Is it good for gaming?

    Hello Impressive_Ad164, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
    We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!

    To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!

    Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

    I hate when people ask “is this good”, “good” is pretty relative. what games are you looking to play? at what settings? for how much? 1080p 1440p, 4K?

    a bit outdated, 128gb ram is a lot. almost looks to be setup for workloads and modeling. will still handle plenty of modern games at medium-high settings 100-120+ FPS.

    This would’ve been a (totally overkill) beast in like 2018. 128gb RAM is insane! Not sure who your friend is or why they’d recommend THIS set up. What’s your budget? Because I feel like you make a more modern build for cheaper. Just checked the prices on the CPU and it’s insane, at least where I live and from my perspective

    Also 8TB is kinda nuts. I would just aim for a motherboard with 2 NMVE slots and get a boot drive + a 4TB storage drive
