Build Advice New Build Advice

[Dave.S_75]

Hello,

Short Story short my computer got busted a while ago, I have now moved and ready to build a new rig at last.
I am based in the United Kingdom, and have a Budget around £2000 to £2500.

The computer will mostly be used for gaming, don't really have any specifics - ranging from stuff like minecraft to latest releases.
I don't bother with any video/photo editing and will prob do the odd office/work releated stuff on there, nothing special.

Luckly I still have my monitors, my main monitor is 1440p @144hz - I am hoping to build something that will last at least last a few years before I need to consider upgrading.
I have done a bit of research into this but would love to have some recomendations from you guys.

The look of the latest AM5 line up looks good, however I am yet to look into Intel latest gen, so don't know how it compares.

Will be happy to anwser any questions!
Many Thanks

Ryzen tops out at DDR5 6000. Anything higher than that results in no noticeable gain. Also that Corsair case includes a single 120mm front intake fan.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

^ if i am not wrong, the 4000D comes with 2 fans. with a dual tower dual fan cooler, you dont really need a rear exhaust.
Even if thats not the case, you can have the 3 ARBG fans as front intake, 1 top intake for VRM cooling (optional) and 1 rear exhaust (optional).

The price of the 6400CL32 ram is 129 pounds, its a bargain at that price. other comparable rams are CL36.
The motherboard supports the rated speed, so it should be alright. The rams would come with multiple profiles at lower speeds as well.

This gonna outperform anything else by a decent margin. Specially at 1440p or higher. RTX4090 is absolutely huge jump performance from RTX4080 or anything else out there.

I highly recommend going for top of the line config like this if possible. As that gonna get you over set fps without requiring to dial down on settings over longer period of time even with newer releases over time.

All high quality components. Did not cheap out on quality to fit in performance.

Ryzen 7600X is really good for 1440p gaming with minimal drop in performance if any compared to its bigger brother 7800X.

Thank you for the builds, much appreciated. I have always been interested in doing a full white/nearly full white build. After looking at some components - the jumps in price look to be significant compared to what I could get within a build not focusing on a colour scheme. What do you think, is it worth it?

I have done many AMD builds in the past and it has been far too long since I have touched Intel, so I am kinda wanting to go with them. The 13700k /kf has looked quite intriguing what is the difference with the F Variant? I am aware that the difference between the k and KF is mostly IGPU. I have looked into the 7800x3d and it is very tempting, is it worth an extra £78?

Thank you

Only go for Aesthetics if you are not compromising on the Performance. Like if you have to cut down on GPU or CPU to get that white build. It is not worth it. Performance is most important aspect besides quality. Only then if budget allows go for looks.

Hi,

Tried to stick with the white theme, so certain things are a bit more than I wanted. Not 100% on the case and PSU yet so I have just slapped those in.

Look how huge of a jump RTX4090 is over RTX4080. You are missing out a lot of performance by going for looks over it. See when you get a PC and plan to hold on to it for a long time. Initially you may enjoy the looks as it being New PC and hype of getting it. Over time it dies off. Then what matters is Performance. RTX4090 absolutely destroys RTX4080. By a huge margin.

I also gave you a build that is under £2600. All high quality components. And insane Performance. Seriously get RTX4090 build over RTX4080. Absolutely worth it. Don't go for looks. Performance is what gonna matter over time. And to be honest even if boast about having RTX4090 to your friends it gonna carry as much weight if not more than having good looking RTX4080 PC. Actually it be much cooler as that is Top of The line GPU.

I also gave you a build that is under £2600. All high quality components. And insane Performance. Seriously get RTX4090 build over RTX4080. Absolutely worth it. Don't go for looks. Performance is what gonna matter over time. And to be honest even if boast about having RTX4090 to your friends it gonna carry as much weight if not more than having good looking RTX4080 PC. Actually it be much cooler as that is Top of The line GPU.

I understand where you are coming from, and I thank you for the build recommendation, what is very much appreciated.
After looking more into it and adjusting the components within my build, I have been able to fit in a RTX 4090. I did set myself a budget of £2500; however, I don't mind going over.

The build I have done has the 13700kf instead of the 7600x within your build, and depending on recent work developments, I may be using it for more than just gaming now.

Here is the build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DfwLMb
There is a price increase of around £282.10, which is mostly around the fact that they are white, but I am happy to accept that increase. This totals the build at £2868.63.

I would suggest a 1000w psu for 4090

And get custom sleeved white cables or the rgb lian li strimmer

This gonna outperform anything else by a decent margin. Specially at 1440p or higher. RTX4090 is absolutely huge jump performance from RTX4080 or anything else out there.

I highly recommend going for top of the line config like this if possible. As that gonna get you over set fps without requiring to dial down on settings over longer period of time even with newer releases over time.

All high quality components. Did not cheap out on quality to fit in performance.

Ryzen 7600X is really good for 1440p gaming with minimal drop in performance if any compared to its bigger brother 7800X.

You really need an X3D model in their for the 4090.

Get a white Motherboard. And Corsair RM1000X (VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). First of all 1000W is needed so that you don't stress the PSU even under load for RTX4090 build with high end CPU. Always better to have overhead so that it is not stressed and run efficiently. And PSU will be inside PSU shroud so will not be visible at all. What you can do is get RM1000x and pack of White cables from Corsair if you absolutely need white cables. But black cables will look good too as a Contrast. That be perfect. Oh and Corsair because it the best and most reliable PSU brand like in for ever. Specifically RMx line. So when spending high just get the best.

Here is the build(White + RGB):

I included really good quality Gigabyte Motherboard which is also White in Color. I'd pick ASUS or Gigabyte motherboard over MSI anyday for their reliability and less known issues. But even on the point of having White motherboard go with it. Don't worry about it being mATX as it has all the needed features.

Included RGB Memory also White color and Faster speeds.

Unless you are absolutely set on that Case. I recommend going with This PC Case because it comes with 3 Fans included which Lian-Li case doesn't and you be needing to purchase those extra.

I also included 2 x White Fans for CPU Cooler as those have RGB and will go good with that Cooler. And 1x Black RGB fan to be used at the back as front are also Black RGB fans it will go good with Black and white Contrast Theme.

Those are all the changes I did.

You can purchase those extra 3 fans later on and can swap them when you feel like. The case comes with 3 fans so you don't need those 3 outright. I only included them to improve the look of the build.
