Hi, great parts selection!

The monitor you have listed is a curved 1080p 240hz panel.

The 6750XT would be more than enough for 300fps in light moba or esports titles and 120fps in AAA titles.

Go for 4070 or 4070ti if you want ray tracing. otherwise the AMD cards are good.

Alternatively, you could get a 2k monitor or a 21:9 3440X1440 panel monitor...

something like this? https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/...l?spm=a2o4l.searchlist.list.15.4c26779cTEZliW

in the same page, i am seeing a lot many local brand like pezel and prism, but i dont know about the quality. atleast MI is a known brand...

and you could pair it with the 7900XT, not the XTX.
just check that the GPU is not more than 320mm in length. the case has that limitation...
which effectively means only the Sapphire Pulse 7900XT/XTX can fit in your case...i would not buy the reference cards - they have poor thermal design.

oh then 6750xt would be enough for my needs, i rather not spend too much time procuring funds for my build for uncessary power that would otherwise be fulfilled by cheaper components. 120fps would be more than enough if i can play recent titles. I'll update this thread again once i bought all the parts needed. thank you so much for helping me Lucky_SLS.

i just noticed this - you have bought liquid metal for thermal paste. just make sure to insulate the nearby metal parts to avoid contact. just watch any tutorial from gamers nexus or derbauer in YT
Oh thank you for pointing it out. it seems this liquid metal are going to get dried within 1-2 years of usage according to some review and YouTube videos. i immediately ordered a new thermal paste named thermal grizzly kryonaut.

I've found some great find on nvidia page. Idk if my system could support it since all my build are based around amd, but i could actually buy it when it will release. GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16 GB) starting at around P34,500 it would be a beast with Samsung G7 27". I always been hoping for 6800xt with my build but this version of amd gpu are astonishingly expensive on our country costing around P47,000 compared to newegg which is P34,000 free shipping but only on USA, but with this rtx 4060Ti i could shot up for the moon lmfao. What do you think? will there be problem with my build and just continue currently with my components or is it possible that i could continue with this new plan?
 
the 4060ti memory bandwidth is reduced and i would suggest the 4070 as the proper 2k card.

I would suggest you to wait for RX7700XT maybe and see if you have price cuts on the 6800XT.

I would not suggest the 4060ti for the price. it should be 100 USD cheaper if u ask me.

I made some changes again lmfao i hope i would not get banned for returning items, i made a change to psu
Seasonic PRIME ULTRA PLATINUM 1000W 80+ Platinum Fully Modular Power Supply its on the way already. i anticipate that i would buy 4070 TI atleast according to your advice or maybe i'll go for 7900xtx as 6800xt are unfeasible due to pricing. it would be worth to buy 4070 Ti or maybe 7900xtx if i could wait a few more months or maybe the new card would drove prices down on amd side.

Edit: Found some Fb page that made me change my mind so many times.
Nvidia Pricelist
Amd Pricelist

I meant a 360mm rad. like this:
Barrow 20mm Dabel-b Series Copper Radiator
or a 40mm thick rad like this:
Bykski Copper Radiator 40mm Thickness

so if you are going with dual rad loop, i would now suggest the o11 case even more.
I can't return the case anymore btw so im stuck with this case until this build gets finished. Maybe i'll get 6800xt at P47k but 4070Ti are so near in terms of price. the thing im worried bout when going the nvidia route would be the 12gb vram compared to 7900xt 20gb. What would be better choice between two of them?
or maybe i should just take this 6800xt ?

Edit: I've settled i gonna go with Sapphire Nitro+ AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT Gaming OC Vapor-X 20GB GDDR6 Graphics Card unless price changes happen i'll go with this

Edit 2: Updated pcpartspicker list

Im basing my build around this benchmarks

^ except the case, the other parts are solid choices.

The card length is 320mm, case GPU length clearance is 320mm.

If you do custom loop with a water block, it might reduce a bit but you wont have the space to mount the radiator...

only the front has space for 360 rad, top is limited to a 240/280. So a custom loop with that thermaltake ultra kit is a definite no in that case.

Would the temperature be too much if i go with my build without that radiator?

You mean without the custom cooling part?

The peerless assassin is one of the best air coolers out there.

The Nitro+ is the best model for the 7900XT, the nitro series always has been kinda like the strix series when it comes to AMD cards.

Populate the front 3 fans as intake, top 2 exhaust and rear exhaust, i think you would be good. No worries there.

If i might add - i would suggest looking for a wifi enabled mobo or to add in a wifi card.

I would also recommend wireless mouse and headsets. Wired/wireless keyboard doesnt make that much difference but the mouse and headset does!

I found this AIO that was listed as best aio cooler. Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360.
btw idc much for the wifi part because i need ethernet to function in our home.
 
^ you have 320mm gpu clearance like I said before. You need a 240/280 variant and mount it in the top.

If you ask me, the peerless assassin is more than enough for the 5800X3D.

It's best to have Bluetooth n wifi.

^ that's a great psu! Good choice!

The 7900XTX is a 400w card. You will definitely need another 360 rad to cool your system.
^ except the case, the other parts are solid choices.

i read this about 360 rad like it got me thinking like i need this for my system to work so i though it was for the gpu. what is this for anyway?
about this motherboard, i cant change it no matter what cause i already bought it already. i have to go thru selling it so i can buy another version again which i don't have time.

EDIT: oh is this a CPU Cooler? my chosen CPU have 155mm so i think I'm clear with this kind of problem

^ the first quote i made was thinking you would go with the thermaltake ultra liquid cooling kit, hence i said it might be better to add another 360 rad like the barrow model or the byski model i linked earlier.

If you cannot get a wifi mobo, get a wifi card. https://www.lazada.com.ph/products/...l?spm=a2o4l.searchlist.list.60.45cf4841O23Scp


EDIT: really sry, i was confused since one other poster from PH was also asking about a build with custom loop cooling. hence the talk abt the thermaltake ultra liquid cooling kit. Please ignore the comment about custom loop cooling and lian li o11 case suggestion.

The Nitro+ 7900XT and the Peerless assassin in that asus case would work. Just that the GPU clearance is exactly the GPU length, it will be a tight fit.

Oh that clears it up lmfao! i was so confused about what you said about this custom cooling kit cause i have no idea what i've just read. Then if this thing fit even if it tight im sure i can find way to make it work. now that things clears up I'll save up more then cause my balance just got bigger because of this new changes. I'll update this thread once again once i got my GPU, as for my CPU and psu they are coming already so i can't change that unless i wanna return it again but i wont do that cause i already return a package already, i might get banned if i do that enough haha. You're helpful as ever Lucky_SLS thank you so much!

hi lucky_sls i'm back again! and lets just say i bought a gpu that i can't find on pcpartspicker but on manufacturer site.
let me know what you think about this gpu
Gigabyte AORUS Radeon™ RX 6900 XT XTREME WATERFORCE WB 16GB Graphics Card GV-R69XTAORUSX WB-16GD
as i just bought it and payment are still being verified cause this one just got release with this huge discount. im still researching how i gonna adjust my build.

Thats a GPU to be used in custom loops. and it also requires the radiators for cooling.

You might have bought it cuz it has a big discount, but you will need more components together with it like tubing, coolant, radiator and pump & reservoir to make it work.

your options are to sell that GPU back and get a normal aircooled model or make significant changes to your build.

if you have bought it for 30k, that is a 35k saving for you. we can work with that, but this will definitely mean changing the aircooler and purchsaing the other liquid cooling components.

At the end of this, you might have spent the money saved on getting the custom loop parts, or not. we will see. but you can atleast say that you will have a one cool looking PC XD

Could you list the parts that you have purchased again?

I've found this water-loop kit, Bykski Waterloop Kit 240mm / 360mm Liquid Water Cooling kit set which im planning to buy but the horror of maintenace when i researched with this particular build are giving me a pause on continuing to buy this GPU that i found on discount. i might refund this particular gpu if i still can but if not i'm planning on going ahead with my build and adjust if things are not right.
Here are the updated things that i bought.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 3.4 GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler
Thermal Compound: Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut 1 g Thermal Paste
Motherboard: MSI B550-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory
Storage: ADATA LEGEND 960 MAX 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Case: Asus TUF Gaming GT301 ATX Mid Tower Case
Keyboard: HP HyperX Alloy Origins RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard
Mouse: Razer Basilisk V3 Wired Optical Mouse
Headphones: Razer BlackShark V2 Headset
PSU: SeaSonic PRIME Platinum 1000 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Maybe? GPU: Gigabyte AORUS Radeon™ RX 6900 XT XTREME WATERFORCE WB 16GB Graphics Card GV-R69XTAORUSX WB-16GD
 
the case choice is limiting you again.

the gpu waterblock is 282mm, the case has front rad supp for 360. but if you include the radiator and fan, you will not have any room for a reservoir.

and you would have to buy the tube cutter and hot gun for tube bending, if you are a first time builder, then an air pressure tester instead of liquid would be advisable. its a risky move.

better sell the card n get the air cooled 7900XT like you mentioned above or get a used 6900XT if you want to save some cash.



or the 3090:
