Hey y'all, I haven't build a computer since 2014. I am now in a place where budget isn't really an issue and am looking to go all out on a new build. I'm a little overwhelmed at how much has changed in the last 8 years.
I've already bought some parts (PCPartPicker), including a i9-13900k, MSI SUPRIM LIQUID X GeForce RTX 4090 (has an AIO cooler), and my disc storage (a SN850X 2TB NVME for the OS and programs, an 8TB sata drive for video and project files). Would it be possible to get help completing this build?
I'll use it for gaming, programming (including games), and content creation (I know that the 13900k is overkill, but figured I haven't build for so long, and would love to minimize render times).
I know both the CPU and GPU are going to pull mad power, so would love to get a good AIO cooler for the CPU and get a case that prioritizes airflow (also need to be big enough for both the CPU and GPU AIO coolers). (Does the mobo also have to support the two AIO coolers?) But the smaller the case the better (which I know isn't going to be small, with a 4090).
For ram (and I guess motherboard compatibility), I was thinking of going with 32GB of DDR5 (two 16BG sticks).
And for the PSU, I've heard that it's most efficient when you pull around half of the capacity? It is worth getting a 1500W PSU over say a 1200W? Also, I've read a little bit about cables melting with the 4090, do I need to pick a PSU with good connectors to avoid this?
Random notes, I don't care about RGB. Would prefer a case that's black if possible.
Do y'all have any ideas/suggestions for rounding out the build? Here is the requested info from the sticky:
-
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP (not in a rush, but looking to buy now)
Budget Range: Not really an issue, but not looking to throw away money unnecessarily
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Productivity (video rendering, blender rendering, etc.)
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: Fresh, new build, so everything. I've already bought
Do you need to buy OS: No (will be running Windows 11)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preference
Location: United States
Parts Preferences: No preference (besides the Nvidia GPU and Intel CPU I already bought)
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: I'll have one 4k monitor and two 1440p
Additional Comments: I don't care about RGB, would prefer a case that's black if possible
Why Are You Upgrading: Haven't build a computer since 2014

Thank you so so much for your help in advance! ♥
