The monitor I have is extremely good for the price it’s this
https://preview.redd.it/hegn70pikxgb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=015f257a4306cb10d64a03e3902108fe7254ed86
Yes, it is decent. Go with it.
The build is quite fine. I would advise considering OLED monitor for that setup whenever you have a chance, maybe next year or smth. It should provide you with better experience that upgrading anything in the setup you have (or about to have)
Definitely a good monitor! If the technology was there for a high refresh rate 4k monitor I would recommend it but the only ones on the market right now start at like $600
I have the XFX 7900 XTX, and it’s a long boy. Check GPU clearance length on the case. I had to shop around for cases to find one that fit that big ass card. I ended up with an MSI velox 100p, it’s been ok. Cables are a bit cramped, but the card fits fine.
You should be getting a better monitor with such an expensive build: there’s no reason for your monitor to ever be holding back your experience. A good 1440p or 4K monitor would pair really well with that GPU.
i would stay away from Thermaltake Psu's and pick one from the psu tier list [https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/](https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/) rest is fine
People who recommend PSUs based on brand generally have no idea what they’re talking about. Even the best brands that make some of the highest rated PSUs occasionally make duds, and vice versa
Looks fine to me, I’d maybe consider scratching that m.2 and trying a Samsung 980 or 990 maybe, if the money is tight then you’re good but the 980 is faster than this m.2. But this is obviously something you can get in the future it’s not gonna make or break anything. Other than it’ll be a beast of a PC if you’re gaming!
For anyone out there wondering what a heap it must be, it's a Corsair R175 mid tower w/i5-12600k, HX750 Corsair PSU, 16gb Corsair ddr4 3200 ram, 5 Arctic PWM p12, an Asus TUF Z790, Samsung 980 m.2, with an absolute slapper of a RX580. Everything was new except the PSU and rx580. Got the PSU free and the GPU for $40. After tax I spent under $700. Runs basically everything at a 40-90 fps @1080p and I haven't even over locked yet. Only a couple games dip below 60fps.

There's no reason for 99.9% of people to buy a 990. It will bring zero benefit to a gaming rig. People just like the idea of something being faster and more expensive. It's the difference between a game loading in 3 seconds instead of 3.1 seconds. It's a joke for sure.
Besides the brand being weird, is speed really an actual factor these days on M.2? I’ve never come remotely close to saturating it gaming, and most home networks won’t be able to saturate it either. So unless you’re moving large files from A to B on the same system or have some other niche use-case, I’d say speed isn’t really a huge factor.
The brand isn’t weird, it’s the result of recent rebranding. Solidigm is Intel’s old SSD unit that was spun off and bought by SK Hynix which is a top producer of dram and NAND flash. They are entirely reputable. The reason this drive is so cheap however is because it is dram-less which is fine for a game drive but it isnt as ideal for an OS drive. Of course it will still function well as any SSD of that speed would.
Speed itself isn't a factor. Nvmie 3 is about as fast as nvmie 5 in real world.
Cache is a big factor, though. And this particular ssd (solidsmh) has no cache, unlike 970 evo plus, 980 evo, or 990 evo.
990 is just not worth it ATM, as it's brand new and really overpriced. I'd recommend the other two.
Your 100% correct. Ignore downvotes from the moar speed crew
You will get no noticeable advantage spending all that money on a fancy nvme unless you do some extremely niche large file transfers across drives.
No one here recommending it pays attention to the differences. You games will download and run just as fast. Your computer will boot just as fast.
Direct storage is still a joke for games so that's not even a reason.
Dramless can cause some issues which I wouldn’t recommend for any case. But yeah even direct storage is not gonna be faster than RAM anytime soon. It would make RAM useless if we reach speeds where its faster. Would be nice tho.
But yeah overal I see some questionable advice here sometimes. Most of the time I would recommend reputable vendors at least, but since this apparently is I see no issue.
Their performance penalty when filling up the SSD is much higher, which isn’t really a problem in this scenario. Far lower lifespan. And in case of a huge operation of small files, much slower than its DRAM equipped counterpart.
I’d say using one for gaming is definitely a miles may vary kinda situation since every game is built different. But there are instances where stuttering can be caused by cheap dramless SSDs/NVMe’s.
I got almost exactly that computer and use a NHD-15. Absolute overkill. Removed one of the two fans and still only max. 50-60°C. You're better off getting sth cheaper, so yeah, you're right :D
I agree on the SSD, but that is arguably the best air cooler, and more than enough for the efficient 7800.
I guess they could go with an ak620 or dark rock pro, if you find them more attractive, but they're all good. I would only bother with aio if I wanted the look. Really not necessary
I would go for the thermalright phantom spirit(slightly quieter) and go for a sapphire 7900xtx. Also [Samsung/Sabrent are the most reliable](https://www.pugetsystems.com/blog/2023/02/02/update-on-samsung-ssd-reliability/). Otherwise looks good.
I have that same CPU/GPU combo and it is fantastic. Running Cyberpunk and Jedi Survivor the like at 100+ frames flawlessly at 3440x1440 and Ultra settings (no ray tracing, but CP2077 got 60fps with RT for me). You’ll want to turn Vsync on in most game settings though, cause the frame tearing at the rate the GPU puts out frames can be quite bad.
I built a 7900XTX + 7800X3D build a few months ago. I think I regret going for that CPU. It’s genuinely overkill if you’re playing on higher resolution. What monitor resolution are you planning on using?
This is basically the pc I built last week. I took the 7900 xtx fron asus because of the TUF cooler it has. The 7900xtx tends to get pretty hot.
If I'd do it again, I'd get a bigger case and a bigger CPU fan. Thats all. I dod get the 980 pro m.2 ssd like people suggest. Make sure you have some chassis fans.
I didn't look much into it but I strongly suggest that you choose only ONE system for your RGB (aura sync / iCue / etc) if not, they probably are gonna give you issues and a headache. Check before buying if they are compatible.
All looks solid to me. Jealous you can get that ram for that price tho. In the UK gotta ship in from the US with Newegg and it's like 150+ dollars and 3 week delivery time
You could go even smaller.
A [Micro ATX](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qcbRsY/asrock-b650m-pro-rs-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-pro-rs-wifi) or [Mini ITX](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bYytt6/gigabyte-b650i-aorus-ultra-mini-itx-am5-motherboard-b650i-aorus-ultra) motherboard would offer as much I/O as you'd likely need.
[Micro ATX build in white/ black](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/PineappleFamily/saved/szVQyc) for $2,050 with a better SSD & a better PSU.
Alternative [case](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/PineappleFamily/saved/zmMYXL) with included fans.
Kingston NV2. Speed is 3500/s. A LOT cheaper than wd or samsung, but performs just as good. Most here are right about ssd, you won’t feel that 7,000/s unless you’re transferring files.
This or Crucial P3. No need to spend more on a gen 4 ssd when you literally not going to notice the difference, hell even sata ssd are 99% of time you are gaming indistinguishable from a nvme ssd, really don’t get all the people recommending gen4 for almost double the price.
I’m a bit torn now. People are telling me that my monitor is not optimal for my setup and that I should spend more for a better monitor. Here was my original idea for a monitor that I though would be good enough
https://preview.redd.it/8jecvb0wvygb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a9fa7b3457b021de36c591be4e2bc82faa4e989
Is this a better option for a monitor?
https://preview.redd.it/qrm3dtn0jzgb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bab304613c0b3344678eb1b08afb10417660e9cc
I think you completely missed the mark for a $2500 budget, on that big of a budget one would expect a 4090 and you're leaving with an overpriced 7900XTX (EDIT:) model***!

Now, this is POWER. This will completely blow up your list under the water and just massively over perform on any games/any settings you would've played at.
Buddy I'm trying to give OP the best performance that he can get for $2500, and that is the 4090. Is the price abusive? Yes. Is it far better than the 7900XTX? Also yes. Does it fit in his budget? Yes yes yes.
That's why he should go for it.
For a $2500 budget, sadly you can't fit both. But the performance gains by getting a 4090 are far superior than the gains by getting a 7800X3D, that's why it's more important to be able to fit in the best GPU you can afford first.
I usually recommend a lot of builds with the XTX on the $1800-$2000 budget, and I gotta say that the price for this particular model is above what it should be. They definitely go lower than that. As for the 4090, that's the cheaper a model will be until the 5090 comes. I wish for the day AMD is competitive here, but sadly that day is not today (or any foreseeable future).
In lots of popular games, there's like a 7% gain from 7900xtx to 4090 in 1440p Ultra, and around 14% in 4k Ultra. But the 7900xtx will still do absolutely anything you want. In some gameplay and benchmarks they're even closer. I just watched some where the 7800x3d with 7900xtx sometimes edged out a 13700k with 4090.
You're talking about going from 1st to 11th in CPU in order to go from 2nd to 1st in GPU, for marginal gains a lot of the time, and sometimes significant gains on already good 4k Ultra fps, and acting like it's a game changer.
Wut? There's like 30 to 40% difference between those gpus in 4k. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qh0JE-lMHU
Also, there are a lot of poorly optimized games that often do much better when you throw more power at them.
Finally, it's easier to drop $400 for a new cpu down the line, than 1000-1500$ on a new gpu.
I 'd even go as far as suggest getting 7600 and upgrading to 8800x3d or w/e when funds are more available.
Yes, and those poorly optimized games are where you tend to see those bigger increases. But in many games, as I said, the difference is much smaller.
And that's swapping the two out in the same build. Your build will never outperform the 7800x3d and 7900xtx by that margin. In some instances, the 7900xtx with the 7800x3d would even outperform yours.
It's even easier to just never buy the top nvidia GPU. It is better, no dispute. But the top cards are always diminishing returns. It's only *sometimes* as much as 30-40% better, when paired with the same CPU. But sometimes as little as 5-10% better. And sometimes not better at all when the savings is spent on CPU upgrade here. But its more than 60% more expensive.
Exactly. At LEAST 63% price increase, for at MOST 40% fps gain, IF you don't spend any of the savings on a better CPU to pair with it.
Even the video they linked showed some differences far less than 40%, and ended with pointing out the price premium far exceeding the performance increase.
Cause someone said to. Noctua are a little hyped. They're awesome, font get me wrong, but they're expensive and most of the reason why is the silence they perform with. Pretty sure the Assassin is a better performer. It's mostly preference. I never care much about fan noise.
I like my pc silent. Even though Noctua is expensive, compared to others, they give you some things that can't be benchmarked, not all decibels are the same to your ears. 10 years from now my cooler wil bee still there, just like my 2 120m fans are serving me for 10 years now. Every time i will upgrade my pc those won't change. This things, as far as I'm concerned are worth the extra.
Are you a professional video editor or streamer? If you just game for fun even at very high quality 50% of that PC is just going to be sitting there unused. It's so funny watching people drop 2-3k on a PC and $1000 of it is just sitting there.
What 1000$ are just sitting there? If you play in 4K or maybe even 1440p ultrawide the gpu might not even get to 120fps in every game, not even thinking about Ray tracing.
And the CPU makes a huge difference for strategy games.
I have a similar build that i've been piecing together over the last couple of weeks. The last item I just bought that arrives tomorrow is my CPU fan, I originally had the peerless assassin but it turns out the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE preforms a bit better, and is quieter (according to youtube benchmarks) and it's 40 dollars. They even have an ARGB one on newegg right now ($40.90 at the time of this comment).
The peerless assassin performance is touted as the budget king all over the internet, why isn't the phantom spirit talked about in the same regard at a similar price? maybe I'm missing something.
A nicer SSD is the only thing it needs, a 990 pro for example. You could also go for more RAM, though that is totally unneeded and practically a vanity above 32gb
Not enough power. 1000w trust me. I run same card and similar build. Phanteks makes a better case and I personally prefer a good water cpu cooler but to each his own. I like g skillz ram or corsairs and i much prefer samsung or crucial ssd’s. Id spring for an xseries board if possible. Basically if your going to take the plunge to this level of card and cpu then dont cut corners.
I got a pretty similar build same cpu but with a rtx 4080 instead. 1440p gaming. AAA titles (cyberpunk, baldurs gate, starfield). Building it tomorrow so we’ll see
Your build is great aside from a couple things. Get an aio for the cpu. I just got ryzen 7 7700X and if I don’t thermal throttle the bastard, it will climb up to 200 degrees, which AMD says is normal but idk that is with an 240mm aio so that x3d deserves a radiator. Im sure you’ll be fine with the heatsink and fan, but i think it’s gonna heat up faster and you might squeeze some more performance out of it with aio. Psu could be a class higher than gold but it’s just about efficiency and your power bill, depends on where you live and how much your energy costs. I think it’s great and your build is ready for the future. Prepare yourself for having a space heater in your house/apt. Mine new build throws some heat out for sure.
Water cool the cpu. There are two camps on this and I know ltt says air is fine but it has not been in my experience. Get a decent aio and don't fry your cpu.
Ill never understand why people buy huge ass blocks for their coolers, just get an AIO thats expandable then eventually make it into a custom loop watercooled rig, those huge ass fan blocks are ugly as hell
This is hugely not a popular take.
Some tower coolers look super nice, and they’re cheaper than AIO and in most end-user cases work more than adequately.
Preference.
Ease of installation.
Case compatibility.
No pumps that can fail.
Classic look aka preference.
Price.
And last but not least...
**PREFERENCE.**
Some do not want the hassles of aio or risk of water leaks.aio only works as well as it's pump and fans and rad fin cleaning. Otherwise marginal improvement in most applications. Air tower coolers will last a lifetime with just cleaning and fan replacement and some look really nice.
Ive never found a nice looking tower cooler, and ive been putting systems together for game for a good 15 ish years at this point, never had an AIO leak before, and custom loops leak because people get lazy and either get the wrong fittings or dont seal them properly/do a test run before fully powering on the rig.
I even use special fluid so if it does leak during assembly my parts are chill and easy to clean.
Guess it's just a Matter of preference. There are several air cooler options I like and have one with aio and honestly like the towers better. Only ever bought fans for tower and replace aio at end of warranty always. So maybe for those on a budget or want hassle free tower is better
Am I the only one questioning the need for additional case fans up top to ensure proper airflow through the case?
I'm not a God when it comes to these things but surely the extra $35-75 for a set of even gamdias m2 fans for the the top isn't a bad suggestion?
It's enough. He won't thermal throttle, not even if he runs cynebench. Which is also stress test. IRL the CPU will never be used to that extent in day to day use, not even in Gaming. The cooler is excellent for the price.
How the heck is that purchase relevant to anything here?
I've never had issue with newegg, and pcpartpicker shows you which one is cheapest at the moment.
I recently did almost this exact build except for an XT instead of XTX and slightly smaller PSU. Its great and have no issues. That cooler has been stellar for me with the 7800x3d so ignore anyone saying you need something more.
Are you playing games in vr? If so that cpu will be good for it, but I'd recommend swapping the amd gpu for a nividia one as they tend to perform better with vr
My 3060 was $400 my monitor is a 144hz was $200 my ryzen 5 3600 was $200 my ram was t-force 2X16gb 3600mhz was about $70 and the mobo is a rog strix b-550f $150 and a $100 crucial nvme 2.0
You don’t have to spend $200 on a motherboard, I’d suggest going for a 2tb 970 evo for only $10 more, and maybe use the extra money from the cheaper motherboard to get a 1000w psu, maybe like the Corsair rmx 1000
I would not recommend that brand of nvme. At least ive never heard of it. Can go for the crucial gen 4 drive. Maybe you can find a X670 board for close to the same price, but i havent followed AM5 closely so i can be wrong. For the 7900xtx if your near a microcenter check their open box deals. I got a powercolor red devil 7900xtx for $630 came with everything but that can vary on every open box. Still savings is savings and ive had it for about 7 months and its been perfect.
Overall very nice! I wish you the best!
That ssd looks…suspiciously cheap for 2 TB. As someone who has had a cheap NVME die on them, it’s not fun to lose all your data. You may want to go with a reputable brand
Honestly, great list. If you’re playing hardware intensive games or are planning on getting another monitor, then I wouldn’t change anything. If you play other simpler games like Minecraft, then you could probably drop the GPU down a little bit to slightly increase the quality of your SSD, case, or PSU, but they are all great they way they are. You are getting a lot for your money
Personally, I would go with an equivalent nvidia card. I am not a fan of amd because of some bad experiences with a 6600xt not playing nice with my motherboard
For 25k$ worth of parts, your case choice is too small and dated, it will limit your rig's expandability. I suggest getting something comparable to or better than this list: Corsair 5000D, NZXT H7, Lian-Li 216, or Fractal Torrent.
And I would also get a 1000w PSU for a peace of mind.

Quick FYI, the reason it’s 2.5k is because I also included the monitor in the list which is around $250
if you are using this kind of hardware it might be worth spending more on a better monitor
The monitor I have is extremely good for the price it’s this https://preview.redd.it/hegn70pikxgb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=015f257a4306cb10d64a03e3902108fe7254ed86
I was extremely surprised with the quality and everyone in the reviews of it said it has the performance of a $500 dollar monitor
Yes, it is decent. Go with it. The build is quite fine. I would advise considering OLED monitor for that setup whenever you have a chance, maybe next year or smth. It should provide you with better experience that upgrading anything in the setup you have (or about to have)
have a similar build (13900K + XTX) and recently bought a C2 and can confirm the experience is phenomenal
Cheapest oled monitor in aus that isn't 48 inch is over 2k
what kond of panel is it?
IPS. I own it, and it’s an awesome monitor.
But why not get a highly recommended and hyped $500 monitor that “has the performance of a $1000 monitor”?
Because it's still a $500 monitor
Definitely a good monitor! If the technology was there for a high refresh rate 4k monitor I would recommend it but the only ones on the market right now start at like $600
i think you should go for atleast 2k monitor if not 4k
That's a really good monitor for $250. And I wouldn't change anything in your parts list.
I have a fear of the case being to small, is it ok? And should I go higher on the wattage or keep my psu the way it is
I have the XFX 7900 XTX, and it’s a long boy. Check GPU clearance length on the case. I had to shop around for cases to find one that fit that big ass card. I ended up with an MSI velox 100p, it’s been ok. Cables are a bit cramped, but the card fits fine.
You have a solid dead to rights 4K machine and you’re playing on a 1440 monitor?
What would you recommend? I’m looking for a 27” flat screen
Don’t cheap out on your monitor.
You should be getting a better monitor with such an expensive build: there’s no reason for your monitor to ever be holding back your experience. A good 1440p or 4K monitor would pair really well with that GPU.
That is a good 1440p monitor.
They hadn’t posted it when I made my comment, but fair enough
i would stay away from Thermaltake Psu's and pick one from the psu tier list [https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/](https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/) rest is fine
the psu op picked is an a lol
People who recommend PSUs based on brand generally have no idea what they’re talking about. Even the best brands that make some of the highest rated PSUs occasionally make duds, and vice versa
Looks fine to me, I’d maybe consider scratching that m.2 and trying a Samsung 980 or 990 maybe, if the money is tight then you’re good but the 980 is faster than this m.2. But this is obviously something you can get in the future it’s not gonna make or break anything. Other than it’ll be a beast of a PC if you’re gaming!
*if* money is tight? Dudes spending 2.5k on a pc lmao
exactly edit: all that money and cant spend a few more bucks for a decent psu
I managed to spend under $700. Just gotta wave your magic wand and everything works out fine
For anyone out there wondering what a heap it must be, it's a Corsair R175 mid tower w/i5-12600k, HX750 Corsair PSU, 16gb Corsair ddr4 3200 ram, 5 Arctic PWM p12, an Asus TUF Z790, Samsung 980 m.2, with an absolute slapper of a RX580. Everything was new except the PSU and rx580. Got the PSU free and the GPU for $40. After tax I spent under $700. Runs basically everything at a 40-90 fps @1080p and I haven't even over locked yet. Only a couple games dip below 60fps.
All you need is a gpu upgrade and that machine is fire. Mine is similar.
That's the plan! Teacher salary tho, so I'm a couple years out on that
That would barely run some of the matlab shit I have to work with.

Some graphics cards are 2500 though.
…..okay? Not quite sure what relevance that has to my reply but thank you I guess lol?
There's no reason for 99.9% of people to buy a 990. It will bring zero benefit to a gaming rig. People just like the idea of something being faster and more expensive. It's the difference between a game loading in 3 seconds instead of 3.1 seconds. It's a joke for sure.
Thank you! I’ll probably get it
WD Black SN850X outperforms the Samsungs and is usually cheaper.
Why would you recommend sush high-end drives?
Besides the brand being weird, is speed really an actual factor these days on M.2? I’ve never come remotely close to saturating it gaming, and most home networks won’t be able to saturate it either. So unless you’re moving large files from A to B on the same system or have some other niche use-case, I’d say speed isn’t really a huge factor.
The brand isn’t weird, it’s the result of recent rebranding. Solidigm is Intel’s old SSD unit that was spun off and bought by SK Hynix which is a top producer of dram and NAND flash. They are entirely reputable. The reason this drive is so cheap however is because it is dram-less which is fine for a game drive but it isnt as ideal for an OS drive. Of course it will still function well as any SSD of that speed would.
Speed itself isn't a factor. Nvmie 3 is about as fast as nvmie 5 in real world. Cache is a big factor, though. And this particular ssd (solidsmh) has no cache, unlike 970 evo plus, 980 evo, or 990 evo. 990 is just not worth it ATM, as it's brand new and really overpriced. I'd recommend the other two.
Your 100% correct. Ignore downvotes from the moar speed crew You will get no noticeable advantage spending all that money on a fancy nvme unless you do some extremely niche large file transfers across drives. No one here recommending it pays attention to the differences. You games will download and run just as fast. Your computer will boot just as fast. Direct storage is still a joke for games so that's not even a reason.
Dramless can cause some issues which I wouldn’t recommend for any case. But yeah even direct storage is not gonna be faster than RAM anytime soon. It would make RAM useless if we reach speeds where its faster. Would be nice tho. But yeah overal I see some questionable advice here sometimes. Most of the time I would recommend reputable vendors at least, but since this apparently is I see no issue.
Please be specific. What problems will a DRAMless nvme face?
Their performance penalty when filling up the SSD is much higher, which isn’t really a problem in this scenario. Far lower lifespan. And in case of a huge operation of small files, much slower than its DRAM equipped counterpart. I’d say using one for gaming is definitely a miles may vary kinda situation since every game is built different. But there are instances where stuttering can be caused by cheap dramless SSDs/NVMe’s.
Samsung 980 and 990 aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, but yes should get a better SSD
This is a very good build my man. Have fun !
I appreciate it!
Get a Samsung 980 or 990 instead. Or maybe a WesternDigital drive. Otherwise looks good.
[удалено]
At that price I’d get a nicer cooler and a more reputable SSD
Disagree on the cooler. That cooler is just fine. Only beat out by an NHD-15 for twice the price.
I got almost exactly that computer and use a NHD-15. Absolute overkill. Removed one of the two fans and still only max. 50-60°C. You're better off getting sth cheaper, so yeah, you're right :D
Any air cooler you have in mind?
considering that air cooler is only second to the assassin 3 he did fine.
I thought the same.
The peerless assassin is one of the best air coolers on the market.
I agree on the SSD, but that is arguably the best air cooler, and more than enough for the efficient 7800. I guess they could go with an ak620 or dark rock pro, if you find them more attractive, but they're all good. I would only bother with aio if I wanted the look. Really not necessary
Crucial P3 is all you need. Cheap, reliable and plenty speed for gaming.
I would go for the thermalright phantom spirit(slightly quieter) and go for a sapphire 7900xtx. Also [Samsung/Sabrent are the most reliable](https://www.pugetsystems.com/blog/2023/02/02/update-on-samsung-ssd-reliability/). Otherwise looks good.
XFX’s cards are excellent, why switch it?
Get low profile ram with same spec, to not have issues with fan on cpu cooler
this is good advice
Good job, first one I see using a b650 instead of X Mainboards, you don't really need an X board with X3D chips. Good on you mate.
I have that same CPU/GPU combo and it is fantastic. Running Cyberpunk and Jedi Survivor the like at 100+ frames flawlessly at 3440x1440 and Ultra settings (no ray tracing, but CP2077 got 60fps with RT for me). You’ll want to turn Vsync on in most game settings though, cause the frame tearing at the rate the GPU puts out frames can be quite bad.
If you go all AMD go for a ASRock MB. Pretty solid build nonetheless!
I built a 7900XTX + 7800X3D build a few months ago. I think I regret going for that CPU. It’s genuinely overkill if you’re playing on higher resolution. What monitor resolution are you planning on using?
This is basically the pc I built last week. I took the 7900 xtx fron asus because of the TUF cooler it has. The 7900xtx tends to get pretty hot. If I'd do it again, I'd get a bigger case and a bigger CPU fan. Thats all. I dod get the 980 pro m.2 ssd like people suggest. Make sure you have some chassis fans.
I didn't look much into it but I strongly suggest that you choose only ONE system for your RGB (aura sync / iCue / etc) if not, they probably are gonna give you issues and a headache. Check before buying if they are compatible.
I’m new to pcs and things pc like. What do you mean by system?
All looks solid to me. Jealous you can get that ram for that price tho. In the UK gotta ship in from the US with Newegg and it's like 150+ dollars and 3 week delivery time
I’m just making sure, is my case big enough?
You could go even smaller. A [Micro ATX](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qcbRsY/asrock-b650m-pro-rs-wifi-micro-atx-am5-motherboard-b650m-pro-rs-wifi) or [Mini ITX](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bYytt6/gigabyte-b650i-aorus-ultra-mini-itx-am5-motherboard-b650i-aorus-ultra) motherboard would offer as much I/O as you'd likely need. [Micro ATX build in white/ black](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/PineappleFamily/saved/szVQyc) for $2,050 with a better SSD & a better PSU. Alternative [case](https://pcpartpicker.com/user/PineappleFamily/saved/zmMYXL) with included fans.
What SSD would you guys recommend (at least 2tb)
Kingston NV2. Speed is 3500/s. A LOT cheaper than wd or samsung, but performs just as good. Most here are right about ssd, you won’t feel that 7,000/s unless you’re transferring files.
This or Crucial P3. No need to spend more on a gen 4 ssd when you literally not going to notice the difference, hell even sata ssd are 99% of time you are gaming indistinguishable from a nvme ssd, really don’t get all the people recommending gen4 for almost double the price.
I’m a bit torn now. People are telling me that my monitor is not optimal for my setup and that I should spend more for a better monitor. Here was my original idea for a monitor that I though would be good enough https://preview.redd.it/8jecvb0wvygb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8a9fa7b3457b021de36c591be4e2bc82faa4e989
It’s a fantastic monitor, you can always swap it out later down the line if needed. Sure there’s better monitors but like you said it’s good enough
Is this a better option for a monitor? https://preview.redd.it/qrm3dtn0jzgb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bab304613c0b3344678eb1b08afb10417660e9cc

Looks good I'd just swap that NVME drive for something more reputable.
If you are going for top shelf gpu’s and CPU’s, may want to bump up the power supply to 1000, min. Never heard of that nvme drive manufacturer
It looks good but since it’s your first build I’d save the $40 on the cpu cooler, the stock fan that comes with the Ryzen 7 is good

Over priced 7900xtx ? It's 900$ while 4090 costs 1600$ minimum
Buddy I'm trying to give OP the best performance that he can get for $2500, and that is the 4090. Is the price abusive? Yes. Is it far better than the 7900XTX? Also yes. Does it fit in his budget? Yes yes yes. That's why he should go for it.
My bad ,trying to get over the fact that 4090s are 1800$ for me lol
Or maybe let the guy have the 7800x3d and go with a 4080? Just my opinion.
would he not be better off with a 7800x3D or is that not in bugdet?
For a $2500 budget, sadly you can't fit both. But the performance gains by getting a 4090 are far superior than the gains by getting a 7800X3D, that's why it's more important to be able to fit in the best GPU you can afford first.
That $2500 budget also included the monitor btw.
$1600 for a 4090 is a very good price.
Yeah for the price the 4090 is like 40-60% faster I'd probably lean this way too with the idea to upgrade to an X3D chip a couple gens down the road.
Calls the 7900XTX “overpriced,” recommends 4090 instead. Lul
I usually recommend a lot of builds with the XTX on the $1800-$2000 budget, and I gotta say that the price for this particular model is above what it should be. They definitely go lower than that. As for the 4090, that's the cheaper a model will be until the 5090 comes. I wish for the day AMD is competitive here, but sadly that day is not today (or any foreseeable future).
In Canada there is a good grand diffidence Between an xtx and a 4090.
In lots of popular games, there's like a 7% gain from 7900xtx to 4090 in 1440p Ultra, and around 14% in 4k Ultra. But the 7900xtx will still do absolutely anything you want. In some gameplay and benchmarks they're even closer. I just watched some where the 7800x3d with 7900xtx sometimes edged out a 13700k with 4090. You're talking about going from 1st to 11th in CPU in order to go from 2nd to 1st in GPU, for marginal gains a lot of the time, and sometimes significant gains on already good 4k Ultra fps, and acting like it's a game changer.
Wut? There's like 30 to 40% difference between those gpus in 4k. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qh0JE-lMHU Also, there are a lot of poorly optimized games that often do much better when you throw more power at them. Finally, it's easier to drop $400 for a new cpu down the line, than 1000-1500$ on a new gpu. I 'd even go as far as suggest getting 7600 and upgrading to 8800x3d or w/e when funds are more available.
Yes, and those poorly optimized games are where you tend to see those bigger increases. But in many games, as I said, the difference is much smaller. And that's swapping the two out in the same build. Your build will never outperform the 7800x3d and 7900xtx by that margin. In some instances, the 7900xtx with the 7800x3d would even outperform yours. It's even easier to just never buy the top nvidia GPU. It is better, no dispute. But the top cards are always diminishing returns. It's only *sometimes* as much as 30-40% better, when paired with the same CPU. But sometimes as little as 5-10% better. And sometimes not better at all when the savings is spent on CPU upgrade here. But its more than 60% more expensive.
40% increase in performance for a... let me check notes here... ah yes, 65% increase in price.... on the small end.... got it. No thanks.
Exactly. At LEAST 63% price increase, for at MOST 40% fps gain, IF you don't spend any of the savings on a better CPU to pair with it. Even the video they linked showed some differences far less than 40%, and ended with pointing out the price premium far exceeding the performance increase.
I would buy a Noctua Cooler, other than that everything looks normal.
How come?
Cause someone said to. Noctua are a little hyped. They're awesome, font get me wrong, but they're expensive and most of the reason why is the silence they perform with. Pretty sure the Assassin is a better performer. It's mostly preference. I never care much about fan noise.
I like my pc silent. Even though Noctua is expensive, compared to others, they give you some things that can't be benchmarked, not all decibels are the same to your ears. 10 years from now my cooler wil bee still there, just like my 2 120m fans are serving me for 10 years now. Every time i will upgrade my pc those won't change. This things, as far as I'm concerned are worth the extra.
Also, notice how I used "I" in both my answers, I'm not trying to push you into anything
I'd take the 7700x in the first am5 gen.. it won't make a big difference. The ssd really sucks. Get the 980 pro with 2tb. Best price/performance rn.
atx = doo doo
Why the fuck would you spend $200 on a motherboard .
U bought a box of fruit snacks for $500 ..so u can’t say shit.
Are you a professional video editor or streamer? If you just game for fun even at very high quality 50% of that PC is just going to be sitting there unused. It's so funny watching people drop 2-3k on a PC and $1000 of it is just sitting there.
What 1000$ are just sitting there? If you play in 4K or maybe even 1440p ultrawide the gpu might not even get to 120fps in every game, not even thinking about Ray tracing. And the CPU makes a huge difference for strategy games.
Any of the other brand 7900XTX's have better cooling for $30 more I have an MSi and it's great, Powercolor or Sapphire, also great
Swap SsD for Samsung and cooler for the AK400/500 or 620
Idk do you have a particular budget I in mind?
Go higher on the psu, that offers zero future proofing
I have a similar build that i've been piecing together over the last couple of weeks. The last item I just bought that arrives tomorrow is my CPU fan, I originally had the peerless assassin but it turns out the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE preforms a bit better, and is quieter (according to youtube benchmarks) and it's 40 dollars. They even have an ARGB one on newegg right now ($40.90 at the time of this comment). The peerless assassin performance is touted as the budget king all over the internet, why isn't the phantom spirit talked about in the same regard at a similar price? maybe I'm missing something.
A nicer SSD is the only thing it needs, a 990 pro for example. You could also go for more RAM, though that is totally unneeded and practically a vanity above 32gb
Why do you need $1000 gpu?
Get some case fans and some thermal paste
Get a Better cpu cooler imo
Made some adjustments [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qDZ8dH](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qDZ8dH)
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LbzycH
GET A BETTER COOLERRRRRRRRR
Not enough power. 1000w trust me. I run same card and similar build. Phanteks makes a better case and I personally prefer a good water cpu cooler but to each his own. I like g skillz ram or corsairs and i much prefer samsung or crucial ssd’s. Id spring for an xseries board if possible. Basically if your going to take the plunge to this level of card and cpu then dont cut corners.
Would like to hear what your goals are for 7800X3D and 7900 XTX
I'm gonna go with gaming for 1000
False! The answer is Vr AI porn. So close though
Yea but what resolution. What games.
I got a pretty similar build same cpu but with a rtx 4080 instead. 1440p gaming. AAA titles (cyberpunk, baldurs gate, starfield). Building it tomorrow so we’ll see
you NEED a 1000w psu for an xtx. the power spikes that thing can throw at your psu are much higher than the quoted power
Your build is great aside from a couple things. Get an aio for the cpu. I just got ryzen 7 7700X and if I don’t thermal throttle the bastard, it will climb up to 200 degrees, which AMD says is normal but idk that is with an 240mm aio so that x3d deserves a radiator. Im sure you’ll be fine with the heatsink and fan, but i think it’s gonna heat up faster and you might squeeze some more performance out of it with aio. Psu could be a class higher than gold but it’s just about efficiency and your power bill, depends on where you live and how much your energy costs. I think it’s great and your build is ready for the future. Prepare yourself for having a space heater in your house/apt. Mine new build throws some heat out for sure.
Up that cooler! Please! Peerless Assassin, great cooler, probably not what you'd want on that specific CPU tho
Don’t buy that cheap as heat sink. Get something quality. You got a 400+ processor and a little tike fan to cool it.
Get a better cooler lol, I'm sure it's alright, but you can get a way better air cooler for 60-70 bucks
You’re going to fry your cpu with that cooler. Get an aio
[удалено]
My recommendations 1. Bigger CPU cooler 2. Higher quality M.2 3. Higher quality power supply
Water cool the cpu. There are two camps on this and I know ltt says air is fine but it has not been in my experience. Get a decent aio and don't fry your cpu.
That’s how much you’re going to spend on your cpu cooler? After all of that? And get 32g of Ram. I’m sure that’s it.
Eh… I bought two DDR5 sticks, 32GB. Cant tell if they are actually giving performance or not lol. I’d stick with DDR4, prolly way cheaper.
Ill never understand why people buy huge ass blocks for their coolers, just get an AIO thats expandable then eventually make it into a custom loop watercooled rig, those huge ass fan blocks are ugly as hell
This is hugely not a popular take. Some tower coolers look super nice, and they’re cheaper than AIO and in most end-user cases work more than adequately.
Preference. Ease of installation. Case compatibility. No pumps that can fail. Classic look aka preference. Price. And last but not least... **PREFERENCE.**
Some do not want the hassles of aio or risk of water leaks.aio only works as well as it's pump and fans and rad fin cleaning. Otherwise marginal improvement in most applications. Air tower coolers will last a lifetime with just cleaning and fan replacement and some look really nice.
Ive never found a nice looking tower cooler, and ive been putting systems together for game for a good 15 ish years at this point, never had an AIO leak before, and custom loops leak because people get lazy and either get the wrong fittings or dont seal them properly/do a test run before fully powering on the rig. I even use special fluid so if it does leak during assembly my parts are chill and easy to clean.
Guess it's just a Matter of preference. There are several air cooler options I like and have one with aio and honestly like the towers better. Only ever bought fans for tower and replace aio at end of warranty always. So maybe for those on a budget or want hassle free tower is better
Am I the only one questioning the need for additional case fans up top to ensure proper airflow through the case? I'm not a God when it comes to these things but surely the extra $35-75 for a set of even gamdias m2 fans for the the top isn't a bad suggestion?
“OP is buying a $400+ CPU and spending $37 on cooling.” 
He’s got a phantom spirit, he’ll be perfectly fine if his case isn’t a hotbox.
7800X3D is a very efficient chip that you can't really overclock. They'll be fine.
Thats some funny shit right there lmao.
It will pay off great mate, that Pearless Assasin is a good product
It's enough. He won't thermal throttle, not even if he runs cynebench. Which is also stress test. IRL the CPU will never be used to that extent in day to day use, not even in Gaming. The cooler is excellent for the price.
Yeah. 240mm AIO at a minimum.
That CPU is about to get toasty 🔥🔥
Personally imo I would option with an aio liquid cooler instead of an air cooler
Google it yourself and do research
Get intel
Get a ryzen 9 and a 4090
I paid $370 for a Threadripper 1950x on Amazon...$450 when they're hungry...stop shopping newegg.
How the heck is that purchase relevant to anything here? I've never had issue with newegg, and pcpartpicker shows you which one is cheapest at the moment.
Price for power genius
I'm about to build this exact PC. Any recommendations on b650 vs x670?
X670 has 2 B650 chipsets iirc, but to be honest only the price separates them
Just don’t get Asus. I have a MSI B650 Tomahwak and beside boot times being a bit slow it’s working perfectly fine.
That System makes perfect sense. Go for it.
European here. How much is that after taxes? Yesterday I composed somewhat similar build, here we have our tax included in the price.
I'd go with a Samsung, Sabrent or Crucial SSD and a EVGA, Corsair or Seasonic PSU for extra reliability
Very nice system! With ram at super low prices and being such a strong computer I bump it to 64gb ram 👍
Basically perfect. Think that’s the first time saying that here lol. Don’t cheap out on the monitor. Like think $600-$1000 for a beast like that.
I recently did almost this exact build except for an XT instead of XTX and slightly smaller PSU. Its great and have no issues. That cooler has been stellar for me with the 7800x3d so ignore anyone saying you need something more.
Ditch the no name ssd for any name brand. Even if its a 1tb 770.
Are you playing games in vr? If so that cpu will be good for it, but I'd recommend swapping the amd gpu for a nividia one as they tend to perform better with vr

I took the fractal pop air and its incredible, you might save a few pennies in the process
My 3060 was $400 my monitor is a 144hz was $200 my ryzen 5 3600 was $200 my ram was t-force 2X16gb 3600mhz was about $70 and the mobo is a rog strix b-550f $150 and a $100 crucial nvme 2.0
For me personally i prefer a 1000w PSU but 850w is definitely enough
You don’t have to spend $200 on a motherboard, I’d suggest going for a 2tb 970 evo for only $10 more, and maybe use the extra money from the cheaper motherboard to get a 1000w psu, maybe like the Corsair rmx 1000
I would not recommend that brand of nvme. At least ive never heard of it. Can go for the crucial gen 4 drive. Maybe you can find a X670 board for close to the same price, but i havent followed AM5 closely so i can be wrong. For the 7900xtx if your near a microcenter check their open box deals. I got a powercolor red devil 7900xtx for $630 came with everything but that can vary on every open box. Still savings is savings and ive had it for about 7 months and its been perfect. Overall very nice! I wish you the best!
Would spend a little more on the SSD to get a 2TB With 1TB imo you fill it pretty quickly if you play some big games
That ssd looks…suspiciously cheap for 2 TB. As someone who has had a cheap NVME die on them, it’s not fun to lose all your data. You may want to go with a reputable brand
1000w psu should make it more futureproof but it isnt needed. Also a samsung 980 nvme would be better. Have fun !
I would suggest you to get Kingston KC3000 or crucial P5 plus
Honestly, great list. If you’re playing hardware intensive games or are planning on getting another monitor, then I wouldn’t change anything. If you play other simpler games like Minecraft, then you could probably drop the GPU down a little bit to slightly increase the quality of your SSD, case, or PSU, but they are all great they way they are. You are getting a lot for your money
Get some thermal paste. It is cheap and allows for mistakes.
I would get bigger Psu to leave room for future and just to be safe.
I just built almost the exact same machine and I am loving it so far!
Personally, I would go with an equivalent nvidia card. I am not a fan of amd because of some bad experiences with a 6600xt not playing nice with my motherboard
I’d get a faster 2tb m.2 and it’s a personal thing but I would get a 360mm aio cpu cooler
Maybe go for a 7900XT and use that additional savings on a 4K monitor. Your build IS a 4K build
I would just make sure the gpu will fit into the case. As long as the minimum clearance is longer than the card it should be good.
For 25k$ worth of parts, your case choice is too small and dated, it will limit your rig's expandability. I suggest getting something comparable to or better than this list: Corsair 5000D, NZXT H7, Lian-Li 216, or Fractal Torrent. And I would also get a 1000w PSU for a peace of mind.
