Build Advice Gaming PC Build ?

[Flyzeh19]

Hi,

I'm looking to build a new PC and have a max budget of around £1,850, I'm planning on buying the parts and building it myself to save some money.

I currently play on a 1440p 165hz monitor and play a range of games from triple A games to games like CS2. I'd like to try and future proof this as much as I can.

Below is a current build I was thinking of, but I'm open to all feedback. I don't have any preferences on Intel/AMD/NVIDIA so all recommendations are greatly appreciated.

I'm from the UK and plan to buy the needed parts on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. Apologies in advance if I've made any mistakes in this build, any help is appreciated, thanks!

*UPDATED*
Thank you for your replies! I've been looking into buying the parts and underestimated quite how hard it would be to get hold of a 9800X3D. From what I've read online it seems like the earliest restock would be early 2025. Would a Ryzen 5 7600 be a good temporary CPU for this build? I'd then upgrade in 3-6 months time when the 9800X3D will be more available.

Build
CPU:AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Black 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler

I wouldn't touch anything personally, this will deliver 165fps 1440p in FPS games for a lot of years to come, an tbh, AAA titles are not even expected to be played above 100fps, so you can crack up the graphics a bit if you want .

A very good build.
Change nothing.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

As said above, excellent built.

 

[RAIDGoblin]

looks great to me

 

[ARICH5]

Looks good. I like to see 2 m.2 tho. 1 for os and 1 for library. Does the x3d have a igpu? For troubleshooting.

vERY NICE CHOICES!

Hi All,

Thank you for your replies! I've been looking into buying the parts and underestimated quite how hard it would be to get hold of a 9800X3D. Would a 7800X3D be a good substitute? I'd be saving around £60~

From what I've read online it seems like the earliest restock would be early 2025, would it be wiser to wait until then rather than switch for a 7800X3D?

I would look at DDR5-6000 CL30. If you're looking to cut the cost down a bit the difference between the 9800x3D and 7800x3D is less than 5 fps at 1440 not to mention the 7800x3D runs cooler.

Thanks for your suggestions, saving money on a few parts will definitely help. I noticed you changed the GPU from Zotac to MSI. Apologies if this is a stupid question but would there be a difference between them or is more of a preference on brands?
