[SOLVED] New 5th Gaming PC build AMD Ryzen9

[bhalton99]

Hello, I'm having a hard time locating parts for my 5th build due to parts being out of stock from my primary source via Newegg. I recently purchased the LIAN LI O11D XL-X O11 DYNAMIC XL ROG BLACK for a total of $218.92 from CompSource & facing the same issue on PSU, & Liquid Cooler and wondering if there is another site similar to Amazon or Newegg that I haven't found yet. Here is the parts I planned on using for my 5th build:

Updated links since I was able to find more parts. Now I'm just down to choosing GPU and CPU Liquid Cooler and yes I am a Corsair/ASUS fan.

Ok, what is this build actually for, because the thread title and the parts list(so far) don't match up...

64GB of RAM for a gaming rig is pointless and not even 3600MHz.

A 3950x won't perform much better than a 3700x in games.

why a 5700XT or 2060 super if this is a gaming rig? Using a 3700x with 32GB of RAM and a 2080TI would have been better for a gaming rig.

 

[logainofhades]

That is not a very good way to spend money, on a gaming rig. Huge waste of money, on CPU, and ram. PSU is overkill.

RAM - 3200MHz in the 64GB package was all I found in Corsairs but if 3600 is recommended then I'll continue to look or wait for it. https://www.newegg.com/corsair-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236551?Item=N82E16820236551 vs https://www.newegg.com/corsair-32gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820236554?Item=N82E16820236554 vs https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TC4TPCN/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 vs https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TB4J2DD/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

CPU - Each build I go far I set the bar to last 5-6 years but I do hear you. The 3950x is three times the CPU than my current one so I will go for the 3900x instead to keep it in 3rd gen Ryzen & will still last for a while until 2025.

GPU - 5700XT/2060 is usually for a start, the 2080TIs prices are in the $1,000s. If the CPU and RAM I picked was an overkill then why not the 2080TIs? But as you stated 64GB and the 3950x would be pointless go to 32GB (4x8) 3600s and the 3900x lowered the cost and probably can get this bad boy. https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-11g-p4-2281-kr/p/N82E16814487418

Also I'm passing down my 4th (current) build to my 15 & 17 yr old sons (i7-5820k), the 3rd build will go to my 6 yr old daughter (AMD Phenom). Having all three share one PC has become an issue.

Sorry about the confusion (changed the title several times) this was meant for advise on my 5th build. At 1st I was thinking on waiting due to higher prices but changed my mind as I began to find more parts & better prices. The O11 DXL case & the vertical mount that you recommended to me earlier was the start.

That is not a very good way to spend money, on a gaming rig. Huge waste of money, on CPU, and ram. PSU is overkill.

Thanks for the advise, I changed up the CPU and RAM and will be saving over $400 but that will be diverted to the 2080TI that's also was recommended. If I do decide to go with the 2080TI then I think it would be better to have more power than less or right on the mark. As for as wasting money, have you've seen what people has been spending their Stimulus Check on? This will be entertainment for the next 5-6 years for me.

No, I meant this part:
"Gaming PC build"
A number of choices say this is not the case:
-64GBs of ram
-1000w platinum psu
-3950X
Those are some pretty significant discrepancies, price-wise. Blowing money on those 3 and your gpu options are either RX 5700XT and 2060 Super?
Your planned build is looking pretty lopsided at the moment...

Gaming performance, they're no better than:
-16 to 32GBs of ram
-650w gold psu
-3700X or 9700K


This is why I'm trying to understand exactly what kind of build this is and asked if it was truly intended for gaming.
It's clearly not a value build, and it doesn't appear to be a showcase one either... it fits more in line with a workstation build.

I've changed the 64GB to 32GB 3600 and the 3950x to the 3900 to stay in Gen3 that way I won't be needed an upgrade for years to come. PSU and GPU I am open to any suggestions reasons why I always come here for advise before blowing my build savings. This build will have 9 fans, 3 on the liquid cooler and 6 120mm with RGB lighting so if a lesser PSU will still work then I'm game. Every 5 years I build a new PC and I save for it each year and I get carried away each time over the excitement.

I see, so that's what you're actually after...

 

[bhalton99]

Lowered the PSU to EVGA SuperNOVA 850 Gold, I currently have a Corsair RM1000 but then I remembered that my system used to have 2 Sapphire Radeon R9 290X in crossfire but later sold them and replaced with a EVGA FTW2 1080. I found a Corsair Hydro Series H150i Pro 360mm Liquid CPU Cooler in stock at Micro Center so that's no longer an issue. All that would be left is confirmation on rather the EVGA is a good PSU for $159.99 and what GPU should I go with.

Admittedly, a $1200 2080TI is a slightly larger investment over the $400 commanded by the 5700XT...(the 5700XT seems to be a serious 1080P and 1440P card for the money!)

With a 3900X + RX 5700XT, you're looking at a max system draw of around 480w...
3900X + 2060 Super, at least 480w.[Aftermarket models have varying power limits.]
3900X + 2080Ti, at least 550w.
Those are worst case scenarios too... I'm not really seeing a reason for an 800-1000w psu here.

IMO, EVGA is middle of the road for power supplies. They come up short compared to Corsair and Seasonic for power supplies - yet their gpus and motherboards are great, hmm...

I see, reminds me of ASUS with making good motherboard but weak GPUs

 

[Phaaze88]

Asus mobos, in terms of build quality, from my experience are ok. What's so great about them is the very user friendly interface compared to the other vendors.
On the other hand, AsRock - which was born from Asus - makes good mobos, but their UI is ass, IMO.

 

[bhalton99]

Updated build should be good to go now but damn....$1100 on a GPU though and its the cheapest version of the 2080Ti with EVGA. I'm going to see if I can find a better price though...might get lucky.

[bhalton99]

Whoa...Just found out that the regular price for this card is $1399 and its on sale for $1099. At least this way I won't have to settle for a 5700X just to sell it off 2 years later and loose money in hopes that the 2080 Ti would be down to what...$700 maybe? In the end I would've still spent $1100 on a GPU

PC came out better than I was expecting, thanks for the advise on this build.
