Hi everyone, so now that GPU prices are MUCH lower I wanna buy a new PC. Here it is what I have in mind.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W68pzf

Now PC part picker is showing some errors about Motherboard compatibility something with BIOS version, can anyone tell me If I'm going to need to update bios ? Also if someone knows if the Case is big enough for Noctua cooler. Thanx in advance.
 
NH-U12A: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZLtQzy/noctua-nh-u12a-6009-cfm-cpu-cooler-nh-u12a
Masterbox Lite 5 ARGB: https://www.coolermaster.com/us/en-us/catalog/cases/mid-tower/masterbox-lite-5-argb/#specifications
Yes.
That aside though, pick something else. That case is a hotbox.

Don't purchase ram like that. Get a proper 2x 8GB kit, not two 1x 8GB. The latter isn't guaranteed to work like that.

The Msi board has a bios flash function. You're covered whether the board has the compatible bios or not. Don't expect boards to already support 5800X3D out of the box due to how new the cpu is.

Psu looks to be ok for something like a 3070(Ti). Not sure about a 3080 and up.
 
No no I just listed the parts I'm gonna purchase. So don't warry about it. Is there any other case you would recommend ? (no need for RGB light I hate that, I just picked that one because its cheap right now in the local market).

Oh <Mod Edit> I just noticed, no not I meant 5800x no x3d sorry. Is that mother board going to work fine with 5800x or will I need to update the bios ?

I don't know what to suggest that would fit your tastes, but something with more open mesh involved.
Lian Li Lancool 215
Cooler Master TD500 Mesh
Fractal Design Pop Air
Just throwing a few out there.

Same answer as before. You might get a board with a more recent bios, you might not. If you draw the short stick, that's where the bios flashback function comes in.
 
My taste is functional and affordable, no need for RGB. I wanna a PC case not Christmas tree. Also Cooler Master, not because I prefer them but because this is the only reliable brand for PC cases in my local market. I know it contradicts the affordable part but I don't have a lot to choose form.

I don't see a graphics card in your build and you want a set of two sticks of RAM. btw what country are you located and what is your budget?

Ok. How's this?
Masterbox TD500 Mesh from the last list...
Masterbox NR600
Masterbox MB511
Mastercase H500

I found Cooler Master TD500 L for around 60 euro is that good enough ? I know it does not come with the fans but I will just buy Noctua fans and install them
Looks like it's the predecessor to the current TD500 and TD500 Mesh, as CM has it listed under Legacy Products.

A case with no fans? Not a big deal if you already have spare fans lying around. If you don't, that can eat into the budget pretty easily.
 
3080 Ti is the better buy vs the 3090. You want an 850w psu for that card. I'd look at pairing up a 12700F with a B660 / H670 / Z690 board.
