Build Advice Gaming PC Build

[Vonny02]

I'm building a new Gaming PC and would like some advice.

I wanted to have a high-end performance so I put something together. I'll link that partpicker list down below.

I would really appreciate to hear what you think about this build and if something could be improved.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The build looks fine though if I were you, I'd get a smaller capacity SSD as the OS/Boot/launcher/apps drive and then have larger SSD's as the game library drive.

I highly recommend holding off few more months. As next Gen GPUs gonna drop. RTX5090 will have a decent 70% uplift in performance over RTX4090 which is huge. So plan the build by end of the year.

Fair bit of wasted cash in the build.
-7950X3D doesn't offer much over the 7800X3D in games. Sometimes, the dual CCX configuration hurts it.
About $200 between them.

-An AIO approaching $300.
Save around $130 on Arctic Freezer III ARGB... or even more on Thermalright's Phantom Spirit Evo, which does quite well on Ryzen 7000. It's just lacking on the bling... but it's also under $100. /shrug

-64GBs of ram? Is this build just for games?
The 32GB version of that same kit is about $100 less.

-Agree with Lutfij about the storage.

-Psu approaching $400.
Superflower Leadex VII 1000, NZXT C 1000, Corsair RM1000x Shift... can be had for about $200 or less than the other one, and they are also high quality units.

AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Review - The Best Gaming CPU

AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D is everything that gamers want: eight fast cores, in a single CCD, with 3D VCache stacked on top at a price point of $450. In our review we can confirm that 7800X3D is indeed the fastest gaming CPU available, beating Intel's 13900K and even the 7950X3D.

We're about 2 weeks out from Computex and there's a decent chance that AMD will be talking Zen 5 there so it would probably be worth waiting a few weeks to see what they say before buying anything.

Otherwise the above two posts pretty much nailed anything I'd be questioning component choices wise.

PSU is fine and very quiet. A Super Flower or SeaSonic PRIME TX/PX would also be great PSUs, but there is no reason to knock this one. Yeah it's expensive but it's good. Money is for spending not saving. ...unless you spend it on things that don't perform any better, like liquid coolers or RAM that isn't going to be used.

Anyway, this is another build that shows the original was some $1100 above what is needed. It's ain't $1100 better or faster or longer lasting, so why bother?


It's true that new, very exciting GPUs are coming soon. Why not buy a decent 7900GRE for $550 or 7800XT for $480? Keep it until the new toys are out. Around Christmas to Easter there will be much better things to spend $1800-2000 on.
It's an option.

The 4090 will not be obsolete, that's for sure. Not for a long time.
Btw, i don't know why that ASUS was your pick, but it's a hella huge and long GPU and costs more because it has a slight and very much unneccessary factory overclock.
