ATX, AMD, AM5, PCIe5 are required
SimRacing - future ATX 5090, VR 4k
today - 5090 is not available, but the MB should be good to go in near future
AMD 7/9 3D
650E? 670E? 870E? which board is actually the piece to choose?
THX

I'm curious as to the reviews of the 7900 XT.

Here is a tasteful build in a white theme. Parts can be swapped with their non-white model and change nothing as far as functionality. I added several 5000 series cards assuming you can get one later on. Here is an alternative PSU if you think that its too much extra for the titanium efficiency.

ARGB RAM will be obstructed and possible block installation of the first CPU fan, otherwise, its a good build. This is how I would do it though:

You do not need a windows license to use windows. All you have to deal with is not being able to customize your desktop background and an annoying static message in the bottom right. I am not sure where in the EU you can get cheap keys, however, I can usually find cheap ones on amazon in the US.
