Question New AMD gaming system

[n3cw4rr10r]

I have a few of the parts already from my current build as noted in the list below. I am trying to stay as close to $1000 USD as possible. Will buy in the next couple weeks. Thoughts, suggestions on this please. Flexible on the CPU if the 9800X3D is not available.

Location : California, US.

Computer will be strictly for gaming. Upgrading from my R9 3900x cpu. No preferred retailer.

2x32GB memory instead of the four sticks, very slim chance of getting 4 DIMMs to work at 6000MT/s

Otherwise you need to track down one of the actual 4x16GB memory kits, usually top at 5600 though.

7800X3D is almost as good if that saves you anything. PSU is a little overpriced. I swapped in a nice 1200W Thermaltake that is cheaper.

How old is that AIO of yours? Do you have the AM4/AM5 mount for it?

Made some minor changes. Agree on 2x32gb vs 4x16gb for ram. I chose a B850 board, which won't have to worry about bios updates, to work with a 9800x3d. Changed the PSU as well.

Didnt even realize I had 64 gb of ram lol. 32 would suffice for me. I am using the cooler on my current build which is the R9 3900X with https://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/b450m steel legend/ this mobo. I am guessing the mount I have should fit the new mobo.

Motherboard: ASRock B850 LiveMixer WiFi ATX AM5 Motherboard ($189.99 @ Newegg)

That board makes me want to do an all chrome/silver build.

Oh man. That mobo color though 🤣🤣🤣 I will stick to two sticks, either 32 or 64. Do I really need a 1200 watt psu?

That live mixer color is tame. You should go look at the B650 live mixer boards. 😆 Do you need a 1200w, no, but why spend more on a 1000w PSU?

It does…. Corsair H100 on my build is a transplant from previous.

Better power usage for the efficiency curve of the PSU. PSUs are generally the least efficient at the bottom 15% of its power capacity as I am sure you are aware. A 1000w PSU would mean 150w would be a relatively efficient power usage where 15% of 1200w is 180w. The only real minor argument to consider. Personally, I would spend the extra 30 and get this PSU. Its a top of the line platinum PSU at 1kw.
