[TLDR AT THE BOTTOM]
Hey, so I've started a new build based around an MSI 3060ti Gaming Trio Z gifted by a friend.
So far, I've picked up my build planned from last year:
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/pznyRK
(some multiple variations of components are in the list for me to decide between later).
My main issue, aside from being confused as to what parts to go with has been that pcpartpicker is giving me a compatibility issue warning for the chosen MOBO:
"Warning: The Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor with BIOS version 2607. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, updating the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU."
I'd rather not go through the trouble of ripping my hair out when it's time to build because of the issue above.
So, I was wondering if anyone here would be able to throw some suggestions out for my components list:
(side note: i want a build that stays quiet while i record music and stays cool while i game at 144hz).
✅ Happy with it
❌ Not happy with it
CPU: [Max £300] ✅
AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor
-pretty much dead set on this, perfect performance for the price (esp. since it's gotten cheaper) and goes well with the gpu
CPU Cooler: [Max £150-£200] ✅
NZXT Kraken X73 73.11 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
-overpriced but has a cool screen and the sound levels are supposed to be great which is perfect for recording music, also obviously great temps
-used to have the corsair h100i listed but this one just seems better
Memory: [Max £100] ✅
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory //
G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory
-still deciding between the two, probably end up going w the white tridents for the aesthetic
Storage: [Max £200] ✅
Crucial P2 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive +
Crucial P5 Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
-these came out on top when i was looking for samsung's competition last year so i'm assuming they're still great, will end up looking more into the 2024 situation soon
GPU: ✅
MSI GAMING Z TRIO GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR 8 GB Video Card
-already owned
Case: [£200] ✅
HYTE Y60 ATX Mid Tower Case
Motherboard: [Max £250] ❌
Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard
-The main issue I'm currently struggling with. What MOBO can I go for that will have:
Enough on the IO for 3 monitors (-1 for GPU DP port)
3 USB 3.0 hubs
Preferably good WiFi for backup connection
Bluetooth
Enough PCIE slots for high fast storage
Most importantly will not only be compatible with my 5900X and 3060Ti but secure me for a future CPU and GPU upgrade?
PSU: [Max £150] ❌
SeaSonic FOCUS GX 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
-Honestly no clue what I should go for for the power supply, the one listed here came in a bundle with the GPU and I now no longer have the PSU.
I just want something very safe that will do the job. preferably up to 1000W for headroom for future upgrades.
TLDR: I want to build a high performing, quiet and cool PC around a 3060Ti that I already own for music production and gaming at 144hz.
I need advice mostly on what MOBO to go with that will help make the build future proof for Ryzen CPU and Nvidia GPU upgrades.
Advice on other components is also greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for any advice, it'll go a long way.
