All black or white/black?

[fowler002]

Not too much longer to go to the 7800x3d release so need to finalise the parts, I’m putting together a 7800X3D + 7900XTX gaming pc.
Over the last few weeks have more or less decided on what to get tho any sigh for improvement more than welcome, initially was thinking of all(or mostly) black but now thinking about white/black.

Parts I’ve already got:

Sapphire 7900XTX Nitro+ doesn’t quite fit the colour scheme

NZXT Kraken Z63 RGB Black was looking at cheaper options but was on offer for £179 so couldn’t resist

Samsung 990 Pro 2TB

Corsair AX860 PSU ~5 years old

Parts I need:

AMD 7800X3D

Asus B650E-E Gaming WiFi tempted by the X670E version but not sure the price premium is worth it, get a physical start button on the board

DDR5 PC5-4800(6000) RAM I’ve mostly used Corsair over the years so looking at the Vengeance or Dominator, any suggestions for an alternative?

Lian Li O11 Air Mini also considering the O11D mini but then would need a SFX PSU(is the Asus ROG Loki too extravagant?)

Lian Li SL120 Infinity Uni Fans 2 triple pack & a single pack

Lian Li Strimer Plus V2 ARGB Extension for the 24-Pin & PCI-E

 

[rare]

Red Devil would suit the black theme?

I’d have to exchange as already have the nitro+

Ah, apologies I missed that bit!

Np, while your here any suggestions on the ram or the sfx psu if I go with the o11d mini?

Thanks, what’s the phantex revolt sfx 850w psu like? It’s the same price as the one you’ve linked but platinum, someone on Reddit for the 750w said that seasonic is the oem but I’ve not found anything anywhere else manufactures website etc.

Quality unit I would buy one , didn't show up on Overclockers psu small form factor section or I would have added to the above .

The Toughpower is newer 3.0 standard and for £10 more you get a 1000w.

Thanks, do you think we’ll need 1kw in the near future? I’m not really an overclocker, not really done so since the q9450. Used to watercool, not sure I’m up to doing so again.

For an extra £10 its worth it imo as power draw will only increase especially at the high end, and most people keep there psu as it has a 10 year warranty.

850w is fine fore that build .

Closer look at that has shown an issue, the 1kw psu is the standard atx not sfx/l model. The sfx model is £245.

Btw what’s your opinion on the colour question? All black(well as much as possible) or white/black(white case & fans, black mobo etc)? For the black I’d need to get the fans from elsewhere or hope they get stock by the time I order.

Apologies didn't spot that .


Black and white build would be my choice have you looked at the 011 dynamic the white version comes with black accents , only downside is the silver trim.

Well it’s all ordered bar the uni fan triple packs as they’re showing as preorder but no date, was available when I checked few days back but not when I came to fill my cart last night in preparation for today so I could just add the cpu & check out. However I was expecting 2pm for it to go live so missed out on the first 30, think I’m in the first 300 going by the order numbers so I hope I get one by the end of the month & not have to wait for god knows when.

Very nice, got my 7800X3D order in a couple of minutes before 14:00 but think I still missed out on the 30, hopefully not too long to wait though. Now I need to get the rest of my parts ordered!

That must’ve been about the time I popped on here to see people saying they’ve ordered, when I went to order it it gave the “notify me” not “preorder” option.
Took a a few minutes of refreshing before the preorder came up, ended up getting the order through at 14:08.

I’ve ordered the ram from elsewhere for £134, will the c30 vs c36 have an impact in games?

Only by a couple of fps depending on game not worth the hassle to change.

Would love to see a couple of pics when you've built it.

The 3 of fans are back in stock so just ordered 2, now to wait for the order to arrive including the 7800X3D. Do I go Windows 10 or 11?
