Build around Asus ROG Strix X670E-E

[pocketchange]

Lost my old old account from 2002 it’s been a long time…out of touch since moving to Vancouver 15 Years ago.

I’ve been gifted a Asus ROG Strix X670E-E board need some advice on the components that will create my gaming beast.

I’ve got a 4K screen, keyboard, mouse and the OS

$3k budget

Max out the budget please

$3k budget

in general, you'd be looking at a 7800x3d and a 4090. for the specific parts, you're better off asking in a canadian forum as they'll have better grasp of the prices in canada and which exact components have better value than others

If that's Canadian dollars then those 2 parts take up the whole 3k budget.

£1750

@pocketchange Hi and welcome is that Canadian dollars ?

oh damn, didn't realise the parts were so expensive in canada lol
personally, if this was the case, i'd sell that x670e-e as this will massively increase the budget and allow for more flexibility

$3k US dollars I’m sure I can build on this.

Yeah everything is insanely expensive in Vancouver…

Overclockers UK was my first thought when I was gifted the board, as it’s still a family, that Spie built and left a wonderful community RIP brother.

£1750 still a healthy budget for a rig when mobo not needed though...think trick would be 4080s and 7800x3d rather than 4090, air cooler £35, case £80, ram £110,2tb ssd £125, psu £100

something like below...this is shipping to canada incl. (DHL express) and think you're vat is 5% so with import on goods would be £1608.243 plus shipping of £141.99 is £1750.233 or $3001.86 canadian based on exchange rate...could change ram for expo, cooler for peerless or whatever takes fancy etc...more to show what you'd get based here etc..so 4080Super performance
