5090 VR Gaming PC

[ScoobyDoo]

Currently running a 4070 super with a 3700x
Im a VR SIM racer and the system is struggling with latest titles.

Can you spec me a full 5090 system with a decent AMD processor excluding storage as I can keep these from my current system.
Budget £3k

You'd probably need a founders 5090 to get close to your budget

Don't you need the storage too, if you're keeping the existing PC intact?

That looks great.
I was going to split my old system up and sell the parts but keeping the storage drives. I already have a 2tb NVMe so that can save £193

I see that the memory and motherboard and graphics card are pre-order at the moment.

I see that the memory and motherboard and graphics card are pre-order at the moment.

Memory is a pain at the moment! I'd just grab anything in stock that looks half-decent and is a reasonable price, regardless of 48, 64, 96, any speed/latency near 6000/C30.

Graphics: the next one in stock was a Palit and the warranty tab says it is just 2 year There's no way I'd dump £2K on a 2 year warranty (the Zotac is 5, if you register within 30 days).

Motherboard: wow, stock is really bad. Strix B850-F is the closest, but a lot more expensive. You could switch to X870, a few more options there.

I can wait a month or so , hopefully the zotac and memory will be back in stock at some point

Thanks for your recommendations. Really appreciated

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Been able to get the parts and all ordered thanks

 

[BogEyes]

Did you go for the Palit or Zotac?

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Zotac but haven't had it delivered yet

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Built this today apart from the 5090 which I'm waiting on delivery.

All the parts suggested by tetras fitted together perfectly.
I haven't built a PC in over 12yrs so I took my time.
Windows has just installed so just need to put the 5090 in now

Thanks again tetras for your suggestions
