Question AMD R7 7800X3D/Corsair MP600 Core XT

[Yankee_LT]

I wanted to check in with individuals who are MUCH smarter than me, which is not that difficult, to make sure I'm making the correct choice when building a gaming PC and that the R7 7800X3D and the Corsair MP600 Core XT are the best choices. Also, this is very time-sensitive.

Thank you all in advance.

Yes, those will work together just fine. No compatibility/performance concerns. I prefer Samsung SSDs, Crucial are my second tier.

Yes, they will work together, but there are better drives out there, for a similar cost. That drive is a dramless QLC drive. You didn't state capacity, but for example a far better 1tb SK Hynix Platinum P41 is only $5 more, and one of the best drives on the market right now. The 2tb version is only $10 more.

Thank you. Would replacing the R7 7800X3D with the R9 7900X3D be a better choice, considering the cost difference would only be an additional 41.00 USD?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, in general. But from a gaming perspective, you'll see little (no) practical difference.

The reason I ask is for longevity. I want to hold on to this new build for the next seven years, as I have done with my current PC.

The beauty of AM5. You have future drop in upgrade options, as AM5 has support till 2027+. I would not do a 7900x3d, or 7950x3d, as both CCD's do not have the 3d Vcache.
