Build Advice My GAMING PC build for early 2024, any suggestions/recommendations ?

[Brandon Umali]

Hi everyone! Happy new year!

I'm planning to build my gaming PC this 1st quarter of 2024. Finally, after 5 years of waiting.

Here's my current setup to be purchased. Do you guys have any suggestions/recommendations before I proceed with the checkout?

NOTE:
I want to do dual monitor on this build but I don't have an idea what monitor should I get, kindly suggest a 27" of bigger monitors only.

Also, I really like the dragon logo on this motherboard and I hope the case that I choose with the rear fan installed will not block the dragon. Kindly suggest an alternative if it will be blocking the dragon logo.

Just two questions from me...
1. Any raytracing gaming planned?
2. Any streaming planned?

I have no idea about raytracing gaming, sorry. But I will definitely do streaming on this build, that's why I'm planning to do dual monitors.

I'd swap to a 4080 Super when it comes out on the 17th (about a week from now). AMD's video encoders are horrible. When LTT did an "AMD GPU challenge" mini series they were forced to use CPU encoding due to AMD's GPU encoding being so bad it was unusable on Twitch. Other members can correct me if AMD has fixed the issue since that mini-series, but I'd still lean on the safe side and go nVidia. If you weren't streaming, I'd say you're good to go. Just curious why you're opting for 4TB of NVME storage instead of offloading it onto an HDD? You could save a nice bit of money, especially if the only thing you're planning on storing on it doesn't need lightning fast speeds. I understand though if you're planning on filling that 4TB with all triple-A games that need fast load times.

You might want to shop for ram that supports expo.

4080 Super is better than the 4090?

4080 Super is better than the 4090?

No, but I figured with your choice of 7900 XTX you were trying to stay around the $800-$1k range, and the RTX 4080 Super is expected to cost $1k. The 4090 will be better than the 4080 Super, but not by enough to justify spending an extra $1k-$1.5k (or $2k if you get that ridiculous Asus version...). Currently the 4080 is neck and neck with the 7900 XTX in non-raytraced gaming, so expect the 4080 Super to be a bit better. The 4080 Super also consumes 25% less power than the 4090, so the 4090 will not only cost more upfront, but cost more to run in the long run for a performance differential that is not worth it for most gamers.

Tweaked the build slightly:

Cheaper mobo with VRM RGB and pcie 5.0 ssd support

cheaper but faster SSD

Better PSU model

case with ARGB, 2 x 140 in the front and 1 x 140 as rear exhaust, AIO as top exhaust

G skill rams for Hynix A die rams and more reliability

+1 to 4080 super
