Am I missing anything?

[cHk4]

I was going to go down the route of an Intel 13900k but I'm thinking of changing my mind. Below I've specced out what I think I need. The AIO has 6 fans which I'll be changing to the Lian Li ones, 3 intake at the bottom and changing out the front mesh panel and having 3 there. I'm going for an upright GPU and hoping to buy a 4090 on launch and will have the 3 noctua fans behind that acting as an exhaust and 1 exhaust fan at the back of the case.

I'm not too sure what hard drive to go for, currently running Samsung 970s. Is it worth while holding out for Samsung 990 pro next month or is there another good drive I could get? Anything else I'm missing?

The other thing I'm not too sure about is the mobo and RAM. I went for the more expensive mobo as I want to futureproof myself as much as possible, although due to another reply I think I'll be going for this one

You have a intel mounting kit for your cooler you need AM5.

Nocthua brow fans look ugly check out redux fans.

 

[arknor]

is a 4090 gonna fit upright and why do you need 2x paste? you won't use a whole tube.

spatula seems a waste too just use an old credit card or cut a piece of plastic packaging

better than wipes is kitchen towel + https://www.overclockers.co.uk/arct...-and-surface-purifier-60ml-kit-th-000-ac.html and those bottles will last a life time

As above about the wipes and Arctic Silver cleaner (that is literally what I use) and yes get the noctua chromax (black) versions, they'll look a LOT better in the case (I have 10 of them in mine )

No reason not to get the intel kit for the cpu cooler, it's free and is being added automatically anyway.

Spatula's are a pain to use in my experience, I usually just put a few blobs and let it spread via pressure....

Do you actually need the front mesh grill for the case? It might actually end up being worse for airflow....although at £25 it's hardly going to dent your budget if you keep it in lol

13 Lian Li rgb fans listed, you sure you need that many....3 top/radiator, 3 front (assuming mesh front), 3 bottom, 1 rear makes 10....+3 noctua for the rear of the gpu.

PCie ssd - I doubt you'd notice the difference between the 990 pro and any current nvme gen 4 ssd in all honesty, I can't notice the difference between my 2tb seagate 530's running on gen4 versus gen3 which is half the speed.

The 4090 is going to be a thick gpu, it might not fit vertically.


Anything else missing - Power supply, you won't get far without one

And personally I wouldn't be spending £600+ on a motherboard but each to their own.
