Build Advice New PC Build

[Racuss]

Hey Guys,

I'm looking for information and suggestions for a build I would like to do for gaming only. My budget is $4K - $5K and I want something that is going to last me a good while. I'm all for intel but I would not say no to trying AMD. Also, just to add that I do not want a water cooled build.

Best regards,

How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel...

and the community will chime in with worthwhile suggestions.

The build I have chosen would be;

Ryzen 9 9950X3D 4.3 Ghz
Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro
Gigabyte X870E Aorus Pro Ice ATX
G-Skill Trident Z5 Royal Neo RGB 32 GB - DDR 5 - 6000 CL 28
Seagate Barracuda 2 TB
Samsung 990 Pro 4 TB M.2
Gigabyte Aorus Master Geforce RTX 5070ti 16 GB
Be quiet! Straight Power 12 1000W

Would this work?

I thought you didn't want water cooling? What is your resolution?

In your first post, you say you don't want liquid cooling.

In your next post, you list one.

So, confusion.

What is the purpose of the proposed 2 TB Barracuda?

What is the total price for those components you mention in your second post?

Are you in the USA?
