Question Is this PC good?

[korsad]

Hi,

I want to buy a computer and wanted to ask whether these components fit or should something be changed here?

And will this machine run quietly and cool? I will play games on ultra and 2k monitor!

So, here is the plain truth about that configuration, which I'm guessing is a prebuilt of some kind, and while it is MOSTLY fine, there are some glaring concerns with it that you should be aware of.

To begin with you have an RTX 4090 in it and while that is fine you have to understand that these top shelf 4000 series Nvidia cards have very real issues with transient response. That too is fine, so long as you have a power supply that is fully capable of handling any power excursions (AKA "transient response") that your graphics card may present and THAT specific power supply, while otherwise fairly decent, has problems with power excursions/transient response. It's clearly spelled out in Aris reviews of that model. It also is not particularly quiet, which Aris also calls out as being somewhat lame coming from a company named Be Quiet.

be quiet! Straight Power 11 1000W

be quiet! recently released its Straight Power 11 line, which consists of six models. In this review, we're evaluating the 1kW flagship sporting an 80 PLUS Gold certification.

While it's certainly not a terrible unit, for this kind of configuration it's really not too great either.

Then there are the case fans that come with that Fractal case. Yes, they are supposedly better than the X2 Dynamic fans that come in the standard version of that case (And many other Fractal cases as well) being the Venturi HF-14 models, but they have VERY low static pressure and while they have a pretty high low resistance CFM rating they are unlikely to see anything like that 117CFM except on the exhaust location where there is little resistance to airflow unlike those being used as intake fans. If you get this case and you want to ensure cool, quiet operation, I'd recommend at the least that you remove the two front fans, put one of them in the top-rear location to compliment the one in the rear location, both as exhaust, and put entirely different fans in front that DO have decent static pressure, CFM and noise level specifications OR simply replace them all if you are concerned with the aesthetics of having multiple fan models.

Also, the X670E Pro RS is is one of the lowest end motherboards in the X670E family with only 60A mosfets being used in it's VRM configuration while most others are anywhere between 70A and 110A, and if you plan to be able to run PBO with this machine you might want to have a board with a better VRM configuration so there are no issues with power delivery, although according to Hardware unboxed it did "ok" with the 7950x in their test system when they did their review of 22 X670E boards. So, it will work, but it would certainly not be my first, or fifth choice for this type of configuration. In fact, among the X670E boards there is probably only one that is worse than this one, but even so it's not as bad as the worst boards in any given chipset family usually might be so this is where you purely have to decide if just "ok" is good enough. I'd want a better board if I was going to run that CPU and graphics card.

Overall, depending on the cost, it's not terrible at all for a prebuilt, but those three things might be deal breakers for me depending on what the cost of this machine is if it's a custom prebuilt. If you are buying these parts to build yourself, I would maybe look at some improvement on those three items.

That isn't a terrible build above, but, what country are you in and what is your actual maximum budget for ALL required parts including Windows if you don't already have a Windows license you are able to use with this machine?
