Hi guys,

Thanks in advance for any help, I’ll post some pics when I get started

Cant see any obvious errors apart from excesss cost in some component choices but it seems your going high end.

4k gaming you dont need a 16 core cpu as games are gpu bound at that resoloution so an 8 core or 12 core is enough.

Look forward to seeing the results.

12 core 5900X is enough for gaming.
It's going to get otherwise old before running out of cores.

Super overpriced board won't make PC any faster/longer good lasting, but only you that much poorer.
MSI X570 Tomahawk is all (and some more) what's needed for gaming PC.
MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WiFi (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 ATX Motherboard= £179.99

Arctic Freezer II with thick actually high surface area radiator is superior to those skinny radiator Corsairs.

Corsair doesn't seem to have proper 16-16-16 latency memory making it likely heavily brand and Ridiculously Grossly Bloated overpriced.

Don't waste very limited M.2 slots for small drives if going for SSD capacity.

In keyboard you need to first know what switch type your familiar/feel comfortable with instead of rushing to buy brand/fashion.


And at that budget you should be looking at proper headphones from actual audio makers instead of gaming stuff.
Heck, some very good headphones for gaming don't even cost that much!

With a Nvidia RTX card I would want as much CPU horsepower as possible. The Corsair memory is probably the best match for the 5950X if it’s the CMT32GX4M4K3600C16 kit. It should offer the best performance with 5950X and Asus board.

You pretty much have the same rig as me with a few differences. Just a heads up, Zen 3 CPU's do run really warm so don't be alarmed if you see temps north of 60-70c under load.

Enjoy and post pics when it's done in the case gallery.
