There are dozens of changes you COULD make.

Some more sensible than others, but we have no idea what the purpose of the PC is.

Nor do we know what led you to choose those specific parts.

I'd guess most would suggest 2 sticks of 32 gb rather than 4 sticks of 16 gb for RAM. Maybe you have a specific reason to choose 4 sticks?

Do you have a strong reason to have a spinning hard drive at all?

Can always get 2 32 GB just the Corsair vengeance DDR 5 16 GB sticks seemed nice but I can look into 32 !
What is a spinning hard drive is that the sata ? I just always thought I'd need one for D Drive -
The purpose of the PC is for gaming - Appreciate the reply and look forward to hearing back

Gaming maximum FPS like as high as possible. Want to be easily exceeding 240hz monitor and never dropping below in CSGO

What is your best reason for 64 gb RAM rather than 32 gb?

Can you spend 5000?

If not, what max?

Not really too much higher or id opt for the 4090 card but can't really stretch that far !
I've got a £500 monitor to buy on top of this also

Don't really have a reason just thought it would run better

 

[Lafong]

If you don't really have reasons, my first suggestion would be to slow down until you do.

What is your absolute maximum for ALL parts?

2600?

2700?

3100?

What is your location and where do you intend to buy the parts?

Probably 2700 and online buddy

Are you in Bangkok or Bolivia or Boston or?

At 2700, I can't imagine why you would choose a spinning SATA drive of 1 TB capacity.

Neither of them bud. Europe.

What should I choose instead

Nvme ?

 

[Lafong]

Depends.

Some people would put everything on a single drive....like your SN850X.

Some wouldn't.

What did you intend to put on the WD Blue drive?

Why did you choose that particular size?

We don't know anything about your capacity requirements.

There is no over-riding reason to choose an NVME for a second drive. Ok if you do; ok if you don't.

So I should buy another M.2 ? There wasn't much I intended on putting on there just windows most likely.
Just thought having one was a requirement lol
I'm glad you're here !.
Are you familiar with the GPU cards ? Is it worth the extra money for the 4070 TI SUPER by Rog
Or shall I got with the 4070 super (non TI) by zotac ?

Putting Windows on a WD Blue spinning SATA drive is one of the worst things you can do.

It would be perfectly fine if we were in 2005 rather than 2024.

Put Windows on an SSD. Your SN850X would be fine.

But you could save some money by going with some other SSD.

I use a relatively small NVME for Windows and all programs and a larger totally different drive for everything else. That is personal preference.

You can put everything on a single NVME if you want.

I'd have at least one more internal drive (maybe just plain old 2.5 inch SSD) for backup purposes if nothing else.

Some people are slaves to benchmarks. If you are one of them, maybe you would be highly dissatisfied with anything that isn't the absolute highest EVEN THOUGH you couldn't tell the difference in real life. Don't know your feelings about benchmarks.

why not go a 7900xt its going to be better than the 4070 super unless RT is you thing

yeah I'm gonna do what you are doing now. That's pretty much what Im doing ATM I don't even use the D drive at all

Just always used Nvidia buddy. Is that the sapphire 7900XT ? What makes it better ? Just want to know for performance. I've been told this card with the CPU I'm buying will do really well

The main reason, among others, we ask for your budget and location is so that we can know which website and currency to use. 'Online' does not narrow down or pin point the website we might want to use.

We cant help you if we assume 2700 is in euro instead of say francs or krona or Polish złoty. The same for region/country.

Hello all. Quick question and really need the advice here. I wanted a 4060 ti but was advised against it because it's 'Hot trash' and can't even achieve 16 GB and advised to go with the 4070 ti.
Since for my builds aesthetics I've decided on the ROG STRIX RTX 4070 SUPER TI it's a beauty of a card and meant to be brilliant.

But this is also 16 GB ? Does this suffer with the same issue as the 4060 ti or is this worth buying ?

I play alot of Counterstrike and want the highest frames I can get. This GPU will be paired with the Ryzen 7 78000X3D

Any humble advice ?
