Hi
I am changing sockets (currently on an oldie 9700k LGA1151) and buying most of the PC parts while only keeping few of the old ones.
Build:
The usage will be primarily for multimedia and 4K gaming @60hz.
CPU: I am OK with the choice given the 4K gaming element, I feel this is currently the best bang for the buck (excluding the X3D ones ofc).
MOBO: Done my research on VRMs, it seems like a solid choice even if I was to upgrade to say a 9800X3D in the future. I am open to alternative suggestions if anyone feels this is overkill or there's better ones out there around the 150-170 GBP range(ATX only). Any more than that seems excessive for my situation.
Cooler: I currently have the previous generation Pure Rock from beQuiet! which I am happy with, I looked at Thermalright alternatives but they appear (?) to be noisier. I am basically looking to choose between this one, Thermalright or Noctua.
Memory: I believe this CL30 kit is the best bang for the buck at 6000mhz based on my research, but open to recommendations here too.
Storage: Best bang for the buck performance-wise ?
Video card: Keeping the existing one, well aware this is the obvious bottleneck for 4K gaming but will upgrade this in the future.
PSU: Keeping the old one, don't have a need for a different one.
Case: Currently rocking a Fractal Design Focus G , the beQuiet! one seems like a good alternative for airflow and quietness. It also has filters which are easy to clean which is another big thing for me. I need an ATX capable case with front fans (do not fancy the side ones), open to suggestions here too for a similar looking one.
Thanks in advance!
