Question White gaming PC build - advise/feedback very much appreciated

[Atreus_I]

Hi all,

10 years ago I built my first gaming rig and this community was simply amazing with advise, recommendations and alternatives. I kept this rig alive with a GPU upgrade a few years back, but it is now on its last stretch. Time to build a new one.

I love the Fractal North white design and want to keep this white theme around the Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RX 7900 XT. I'm not sure if the X670E is an overkill (I like the design though) but' I'd love to keep the MoBo white (and shiny). Any other recommendations? I'd like to go with a white AIO cooler, I know it's not really needed but it looks stunning and I'm happy to spend the extra $$$ compared to a normal cooler. I've read that the 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 is the sweet spot for the 7800X3D. Storage wise my thought was to have the 2TB drive for the operating system, Office365, tools, apps and miscellaneous stuff while the 4TB drive is the dedicated games drive.

Similar to 10 years ago, I am grateful for any advise, recommendation or feedback from the community. Thank you very much in advance for your support!

Thank you for your feedback! Really appreciated! I know that the AIO is not really needed, but I love the clean aesthetic look of it.
