Go big or go home. Buy a 4090 and and LG OLED 50" screen. I rock these and have done 12 months. 7800X3D upgrade in next 6 wks.

The Asrock X670E PG Lightning is the best value X670 Board and very well reviewed. It's what I'm going to buy for my next build with 7800X 3D.

Says the man with the 1800X:D

I'm doing a rebuild and want a new was to accommodate 4090, 7800X 3D and 1600W G2 PSU. I don't care about looks, contrasting colours RGB etc I know none of this is relevant. Functionality and performance is all that counts. Think a 'AK47' case which just works. Can anyone recommend anything.

I'm doing a rebuild and I want a big functional cool case for my 4090/7800X3D and MOBO plus 1600W G2 PSU. I'm not into RGB I want a kick ass 'AK47' of a case that is robust cool and looks 'OK' at best. I don't want to spend £300 on a case to show off to a few friends on the internet or irl. As I...

Thanks appreciate it, I'm sort of excited about 7800X3D and hope to bejesus I notice a big difference. Hell Let Loose I get killed a lot but suspect its me getting old.

Exactly my point, my 920 was great but it only lasted a generation or 1.5 whereas my 5960X hasn't (it really has a bit tbh) let me down in 8 years and that's amazing longevity for a CPU.

£799 in 2015, 32GB DDR@3000mhz, 4090 @stock

It was £800 and I still use it today and its now officially old but at 4K it still works with my 4090. 8 years old and still able to put up a fight is very decent imho BUT some games ARMA 3, TLOU 1, MSFS2020, it's really showing its age and will be retired V soon.

Thanks I was actually after an upgrade not a downgrade or sidegrade. I'm pretty sure the minimum AMD spec to be an actual upgrade (my 5960X is at 4.4 and 3.6 Cache) would be a 3800X and there the difference will be indiscernible apart from in MS FS2020 where neither it or the 3700X will be...

I have a 4090 with an Intel 5960X and 'need' a new CPU/MOBO/memory combo. Uses are gaming and general internet usage with no productivity. I game at 4K and want the best possible image quality. My current system while unbalanced does everything I want it to at acceptable framerates apart from...

It was £799 and those cores are still decent if a little long in the tooth.

I'm the proud owner of the Intel 5960X and while I keep contemplating upgrading, I still cannot find a reason at 4K other than MSFS 2020. This CPU was from 2015 yet it still holds it's own (sort of) in 2023, Beat that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjNIiulAQ88

That's what I'm feeling. Just make sure you do that and you'll be fine regardless of vendor?

I guess I'll wait until September when the problems will be fixed, I won't have to flash the bios and it will be easier/prices will come down.

Thanks, I already have the cooler. Not sure what an EXPO kit even is so will have to do some reading.It would be nice to be able to buy a board, plug it all in and play and get 90% of the performance there and then rather than having to do homework and make multiple bios adjustments to get it to...

If ASUS staff have committed a criminal offence in the UK by lying to customers on behalf of the company they very definitely SHOULD be prosecuted. THAT is how companies and individuals learn not to commit crimes on behalf of their employer and its a very powerful deterrent to others ready or...

I'm all for tech tubers holding ASUS to account. Without them consumers would be in a much weaker position and they're doing the right thing regardless of the reason behind their action. Big companies and corporations don't voluntarily do the right thing they almost always have to be forced to...

I want to upgrade my CPU/MOBO etc and waited for reviews of the 7800X3D but now it seems several Mobos are killing CPUs as well as the MOBO dying when they over volt. While this was ASUS boards at first seems other manufacturers boards are doing the same. What with the high price of the new...

I have the CPU and memory combo in my sig with a 4090. Obv I'm CPU bound and I want to play MS FS2020 4K and new games faster. I need to upgrade MOBO/Memory/CPU asap. The games I currently play RDR2, GTA 5 are fine and the 5960X is holding up remarkably well at 4K. Concerned a 7800X3D with only...
