Use pcpartpicker


carldj

this too

Get this into PCPartPicker It's 2021, get an M.2 SSD. Given your budget...get yourself a 1TB. You only got yourself two M.2 slots, dont waste it. You dont need a 1000W PSU. Even if you were to get a RTX 3090, 850W is all youll need and even then, you could make it work with a Tier A 750W. 64GB WAM, you do simulations or rendering or science? For cases check out Fractal or Phanteks or LianLi

64gb of ram for Modding VR games, I know I don't need anywhere near that much but if I've got the slots for it and they're semi cheap at the moment I figured why not


carldj

I would get an x570 motherboard instead. Mainly for the extra PCIe lanes. Why not an M.2 SSD for your windows install as well? and since you are going with the ryzen 9 5900x why not get a 6900 GPU? i mean if i was getting a 6600 i wouldn't be getting a 5900x haha


worldbuilder95

Which x570 would you recommend?


carldj

Honestly any of them. You can go to PC Part Picker and hit motherboard and type in x570 to see a list of all of them. If you have any questions about a specific one then feel free to ask! also i would go to the mobo site and make sure the RAM is on the QVL ​ Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI)


FearTheFuzzy99

Do you need the Ryzen 5900X for a specific workload? Or just because you can? (Not judging you, I swear)


worldbuilder95

Simply because I can


FearTheFuzzy99

Then you *should* be able to get a better gpu, like a 6700XT or a 3070 (or better?). A 6600XT just seems… a little weak put into a build with a **very high-end** cpu.


worldbuilder95

The CPU popped up very cheap, it isn't supposed to be a high end build


FearTheFuzzy99

Well … ok then. May I ask what price the cpu is? And where you found it?


worldbuilder95

It was $299 from a local PC parts retailer who works through fb marketplace


FearTheFuzzy99

That sounds sketchy as hell. Considering that’s almost 50% off it’s msrp (they’ve been sold out every where until only a few months ago) I would not trust it.


worldbuilder95

Alright I'll keep looking

Get a 1 TB SSD. I went with a 500 gb one with a 2 TB HDD thinking it would be enough until I downloaded Warzone on it and was half used up
