Hello dear building pro's! I am fairly new to the PC-Building thing and would like to hear your advice about my build. I already posted some builds in Reddit and this is the updated version with added Feedback from the Community. My Goal is to Build a PC for 4k-Gaming with all the latest High-End Tech, while staying in 6k Budget. If a Component is overkill but adds some Performance Bonus I am willing to pay more. I would like to make it as future-proof as possible. That's one of the reason I chose this particular Motherboard. The other one is the great soundcard, but if there would be a similar Board (Performance-wise) with the possibility to add NextGen GPU's I would go for that and buy an additional external Soundcard.
As a side note: : I have two cats, so Dust buildup is sadly a thing, that's why I choose this particular case which I have read it has filters and great Airflow.
Thanks very much for all the advice!

Ok, this would be my Build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D
Mainboard: Asus Rog Strix X670E-E Gaming WIFI
CPU-Cooler: Noctua ND-D15 Chromax black (I don't know if the ak620 would be better here)
RAM: G.Skill DIMM 64GB DDR5-6000 Trident Z NEO (CL30 40 40 96)
GPU: ASUS Geforce RTX 4090 TUF Gaming OC
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro heatsink 2x 2TB
Case: Fractal Design Torrent Black RGB
PSU: be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12 1200W Platinum

Thanks!

you've just picked the most expensive components, so...

is it all compatible and will it work? yes
is it the best use of money? absolutely not

I went with a B650E-E gaming wifi myself...wanted to try and be future proof(doubt it'll make much difference really but did it anyway..wanted the digital post display anyway) so has the pcie5 gpu and m.2 slot, just slightly less pcie lanes as the x670 chipset is basically 2 b650 chipsets. I pondered for ages, but I've got plenty of usb etc connections on my rear i/o plate, and couldn't justify the additional cost of the x670 board. i would make no difference to my pc for gaming or for my work. Make sure you upgrade the bios though
to the lastest version. firstly it reduced the voltage to the cpu( mine now at 1.24v), and secondly made the ram stable..couldn't get my expo setting to run 6000C30 to start (was getting memory error codes on mobo), fine after bios update
I've got a arctic A35 cooler on my 7800X3D and it runs fine, ran cinebench r23 and it never throttled so sure the noctua will be fine
Running Corsair vengeance rgb 6000C30 in mine...looked at g skill but was significantly more expensive where I am, and 7800X3d fairly forgiving on timings anyway...don't think you'll see much of a difference if at all, so if you like it go for it, if other cheaper, then have a look.
Got 2tb sn850x's in mine...were cheaper, fast and wont make any noticeable difference to you...the Firecuda 530's are on offer at £109 on OCuk at mo for the 2tb ones...and why pay more for the heatsink 990's if you're set on those...the mobo has heatsinks over the m.2 slots anyway

Thanks, that's all great advice! Wouldn't more heatsinks potentially cool the whole thing more?

you can't put a heatsink on a heatsink.....to put the m.2's in, you'll have to unscrew the existing heatsinks. the nvme's then go in the slot and are held down in place by tooless fixing (on the asus boards). then peel the plastic backing protecting the thermal paste on the heatsink and screw back on..you're done. The ssd's you buy that have a heatsink on already are for those that have boards, where secondary m.2 slots etc don't have heatsinks, or where you want to use the heatsink provided by the nvme manufacturer....either way you can only have 1 heatsink on the drive, and seeing as you're paying for it with the Asus boards, or other premium boards for that matter, no point paying for it again when buying the nvme drive...also, on the ones you get with the drives, can be quite difficult to get off, so best to go with those...the ones on the mobo are more than aquequate, and look a lot nicer too
At mo, the firecuda 530's are £109, the sn850x's £120 and the 990 pro's £150 for the 2tb variants. Below are yt showing 990 pro performance vs 22 other ssd's. If you're gaming, the 6 min in might be more relevant to you

they're all fast to be honest, can't really go wrong with any of them..sorry, mistyped esarlier and corrected..my latest build has the sn850x's in, my am4 build has the sn850's (non x's in)..Even that is blazingly fast...I'd just see which drives are on offer to get best bang for buck...crusial p5p, and corsair m600 pro(not the core), are good drives too
 
updated the Build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D
Mainboard: Asus Rog Strix X670E-E Gaming WIFI
CPU-Cooler: Noctua ND-D15 Chromax black
RAM: G.Skill DIMM 64GB DDR5-6000 Trident Z NEO (CL30 40 40 96)
GPU: ASUS Geforce RTX 4090 TUF Gaming OC
SSD: WD Black SN850X
Case: Fractal Design Torrent Black RGB
PSU: be quiet! Dark Power Pro 13 1300W Platinum

What do you guys think?

Any reason for 64GB ram?
If not just get 32GB now and upgrade to a faster 64GB at some point down the line (e.g. when the next gen of CPU are released)

I am afraid that 64Gb will soon be the new standard. I remember when I read that 16 GB would be enough and 32Gb overkill and now 32Gb is the new standard...

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £2,626.43 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

Cooler: this (under £50).

Reasons for changes:
- Motherboard is one of the cheapest with PCI-E 5.0 graphics and PCI-E 5.0 SSD.
- Memory: OCUK don't sell G.Skill.
- Graphics: warranty length.
- SSD: cheaper, but still TLC with good endurance.
- Case: cheaper, but still a decent size for a 4090 build.
- PSU: cheaper.
- CPU cooler: cheaper and still performs well.

RE: 32GB being the new standard. True, but I don't think that's because games really need it, it is just because memory is relatively cheap.
