Are you going to DIY or are you looking for a pre built?

If you are going to DIY are you wanting to reuse parts? That PSU is very high quality and I'd have no concerns reusing it

the formatting is confusing :cry:

Fair enough! The build posted above by @dfour looks great for the price

You could wait as the 5080 super is supposedly being released at Xmas and comes with 24gb of vram but I suspect it will cost £1200 +

Appreciate the Advice.
Was always looking at the 9800X3d as the start .
Looking for complete new build tbf as Im keeping exiting PC as backup.. (And moving older one on)
GPU is eyewateringly expensive.

And list was from a place in Bolton

tamzzy · 20 Aug 2025 at 16:20

cheaper option. for the price, the 5080 isn't worth it over the 5070ti
personally if you're able to wait, you should wait for the "super" refresh models which should come with more vram

My basket at OcUK:

1 x AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-03517) = £399.95
1 x MSI B850 Gaming Plus WIFI6E (AMD AM5) B850 DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-MSI-05941) = £149.99
1 x PNY XLR8 Gaming EPIC-X RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C36 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit (SKU: MEM-PNY-04561) = £79.99
1 x Palit GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GamingPro-S OC 16GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-PAL-05411) = £698.99
1 x NVIDIA - Borderlands 4 Standard Edition & the Gilded Glory Pack DLC (SKU: DIG-NVI-06102) = £0.00
1 x Crucial T500 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-CRU-01090) = £131.98

Total: £1,468.90 (includes delivery: £7.99)

then, reuse your seasonic psu in the new build and put this phanteks psu in the old build
either reuse your d15 or use the new thermalright PA120 cooler
either reuse your current case or swap over to the new phanteks case:
My basket at OcUK:

1 x Phanteks AMP GH 750W 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply Modular - Black (SKU: POW-PHK-02517) = £84.95
1 x Phanteks XT View ATX Case Tempered Glass Windows, Black (SKU: CAS-PHK-01445) = £84.95
1 x Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB Black CPU Cooler - 120mm (SKU: COO-TLR-02724) = £29.98

Total: £211.87 (includes delivery: £11.98)

personally i'd use all the new components except the psu, that seasonic is good...too good to sell up

The GPU is always the issue due to the cost of them. However the spec posted here is good enough.

32 GB RAM is plenty. 2 TB SSD - is that enough ? CPU at 9800X3D is a good choice, motherboard is a B650 so that’s good unless you want a gen 5 SSD. Case and power supply up to you there.

tamzzy · 21 Aug 2025 at 08:36

B650

It's a b850

The MSI I speced has gen 5 to the SSD but only gen 4 to the GPU.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte-b850-eagle-wifi6e-socket-am5-ddr5-atx-motherboard-mot-gig-03859.html

Is an alternative if OP wants gen 5 to both the SSD and the GPU.

In retrospect the gigabyte eagle is probably the better option

2x M.2 Slots:
• M.2_1 (CPU): PCIe 5.0 x4 (9000/7000), PCIe 4.0 x4 (8000), supports 22110/2280
• M.2_2 (CPU): PCIe 4.0 x4 (9000–7000), PCIe 4.0 x2 (8500/8300), supports 2280/2260
4x SATA 6Gb/s

OK

does that mean there is not performance difference on this board between a Gen 4 and 5?

Looked at some others and I cannot tell if a Gen 5 SSD is worth it

B850 looks very good choice especially for the money

There is a difference between pcie 5 and pcie m2 slots on this board the (9000/7000)and (8000) numbers are processer support.

Generally a pcie5 m2 won't give the everyday user a benefit over a pcie4 m2 unless moving large around of data to another po cie5 me, time is money scenario.
