Question Custom building PC - Help

[Metroguts]

OLDER build has been deleted and EDITED into the following:

Processor (CPU)	AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.8GHz/70MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard	ASUS® ROG Strix X570-F GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0) - ARGB Ready!
Memory (RAM)	QUESTION : will the Corsair Dominator Platinum 3600 MHz 2x16 be compatible with this build? i saw this RAM on Amazon for £160
Graphics Card	8GB ASUS ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTX 3070 - HDMI, DP, LHR I was also looking at the RTX 3080 but www.PCSpecialist.co.uk has stated that these are mostly ZOTAC and rarely Gigabyte, and that it is completely random which one i get is ZOTAC worth going for or should i stick with the ASUS ROG STRIX ? its a £120 Difference, but i know for a fact that Asus Rog Strix has the best GPU Temps out of the 3070's
1st M.2 SSD Drive	1TB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 7000MB/R, 5000MB/W) OR should i go with the 970 ? is there a big difference?
Power Supply	CORSAIR 850W RMx SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET Should i go with 750W ? thinking if this is overkill or not
Power Cable	1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)
Processor Cooling	Corsair H150i ELITE CAPELLIX RGB Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler Any other recommended AIO or do you think this one is one of the better ones?
Sound Card	ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Card	10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT

I would also appreciate it if you could tell me if all this will be compatible with the new Lian-Li O11 Dynamic EVO
Would appreciate it if you could help me with the RED colored sections especially. All other help is welcome and appreciated too!

Still never stated what the PC will be used for.

Primary use: Gaming at higher res mostly. 1440 and 4k if the gpu will handle the game ( if im going for the 3070 as i know for a fact according to what i saw that 3080 will handle everything at 4k)
Secondary: anything that comes to mind at any stage the pc should be able to handle it at a mid - high end level.


When it comes to overclocking i like to avoid extreme overclocking, and go for something subtle/mild only if needed/required for a short period.


im also thinking if the PSU is not a overkill, wouldnt a 650 or 750 suffice? i saw alot of builds that utilised 750W for a rtx 3080.
Also i plan to keep this build and just upgrade it later down the line when the 40series or whatever it will be called is released and if i manage to get my hands on it, hence why i thought i should go with a 850W

If you go AMD go threadripper.
I have an Asrock X399 Tai Chi with an AMD Ryzen Threaripper 2950X, Iceberg Thermal Fan for CPU, 64GB DDR4-3597 / PC4-28700 DDR4 SDRAM UDIMM (generic), EVO 860 250GB SSD, 4TB storage HDD, 1000 watt EVGA Gold psu. I started with 2 Asrock RX570 GPU in crossfire and it handled everything.

To me the threadripper builds seem like a really niche build on more of the extreme side. It is one that has not caught my eye unfortunatelly.

Then you should be looking for building with a 12700K processor and a threadripper has rather poor gaming performance.

interesting, and it seems alittle more powerful when it comes to gaming too, taking into consideration its cheaper, though not sure if the full build would come out to roughly the same price as i heard the motherboards are more pricy (something important to take into consideration is that I7 12700k also heats up quite more than the ryzen 9 5900k). Though quick question, would you recommend to go with the i7-12700k even if i decided to go with the 3070 or would it be a overkill in that case scenario ? OR if i was to say, this build would be purely for gaming, would the recommendatoin still be the i7 12700k?

Also the website offers a random chance between a Zotac and Gigabyte, if i was to end up with a 3080 zotac (as they inform you which one they will be using prior to starting to build it) which i've noticed to perform worse when it comes to temps, (i prefer things to be cool rather than be near the borderline high temps) compared to gigabyte/asus and a little better than MSI. Would you say i should just go with the asus rog strix 3070?

https://www.anandtech.com/show/1672...acked-vcache-technology-2-tbsec-for-15-gaming This is a pretty interesting read too. Considering i go with AMD and decide to go for a upgrade somewhere during 2023, im somehow confident that their chipsets wont change much and alot of the existing conponents in the build will remain compatible with the new stacked vcache

For pure gaming I would just get the 12600K.
For the video card it's hard to be picky these days their so hard to get.

Well 1 advantage i have is that i can be picky due to the pure fact that they presented these options to me

Usually what I do is goto PC Part Picker and check for compatibility first.

So i went ahead and pasted the build in there: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/gDQPy4
Apparently there is a BIOS issue prior to the update. Post updating there shouldnt be any more problems or am i wrong and can there be some problems down the line in the future?

PCpartspicker is just a generic site and puts up generic warnings.
That Asus motherboard actually has a BIOS flash button so you can update the BIOS without a working processor!

The 12700K actually came in a bit less with a couple of upgrades,.

1. 32GB of memory (still RGB)
2. much more storage since some games are at or over the 100GB area. A 500GB NVME drive for the operating system and programs and a full 2TB of storage (SSD) for games.

i've looked into this build on PCspecialist, comes out quite pricy. Upon further researching into it all i decided i will be going with the AMD Ryzen 9 5900x cpu.

I have looked through alot of Motherboards too and considered going with
Asus Rog strix x570-E as my first option - This was discontinued
I have then decided to give Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master a try but its out of stock
I have also tried to ask them about Crosshair VIII Dark hero but that seems to be out of stock too (though the standard edition is in stock)

I was looking at X570-F which doesnt seem bad but aesthetically it just doesnt look nice to the eye I plan to have this build on the top of my desk rather than the floor and covered away.

Any other suggestions for motherboards?
