Good morning great people of OCUK

The time has come to retire my faithful i7 6700k and move up to the big leagues.

I have done some research and I have been eyeing out the AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D. I watched some comparison videos, and the CPU holds well compared both the i7 and i9 12 gen CPUs, or so I understand.
Though before I settle on this, I would like to get a last sanity check on this and perhaps some advice. I like to build a rig that last me 5-6 years which the i7 6700 I overclocked has done beautifully though now its now become a bottleneck for my 3080.

I don’t have an endless budget, but I be prepared to spend what is required for a CPU, MB, RAM, PSU, All in one cooling and a case (dust filters are a must). I am thinking £1k for the lot but could go over if it will extend the life of the machine, though I’m getting ahead of myself first things first platform and CPU, am I thinking right of going with the AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X3D.



Many thanks in advance

Then I'd go with the X3D, on a B550 board, unless you want loads of other I/O expansion options of the X570, and some cheap as chips DDR4, £100 should get you 32GB 3200MHz from OCUK. Artic 280mm AIO and a suitable 750/850w PSU, and what ever case you like that will fit the parts in. :)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 3.4 GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 280 72.8 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI MAG B550M MORTAR Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: Patriot Viper Steel 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Case: KOLINK Citadel Mesh RGB MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Power Supply: Fractal Design Ion Gold 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Total: ~£850

Something like that. Might even be able to squeeze in a 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD with your budget. :)

Thank you, i will compare some items and appreciate the options :)
 
Thank you to everyone for your input, I am 90% done and ready to order but I have one last check to make.


Both suggestions provided a MB with a B550 chipset, I did some amateur reading and I understand that the X570 has PCIE 4 lanes that as I understand will only aid in overclocking.

I know I will not be overclocking the 5800XD but how will that affect the GPU and GPU’s for the next 5 years? Do I want this for future proofing or am I totally misunderstanding?

I will only ever run one GPU at a time if that helps


Thanks you again
 
Good morning everyone


I just had a read and thank you for all your input.

First I am getting another 16GB Ram to max out at 32, good call, I was thinking about it and it's the way to go :)

Second, thank you for the NVME Drive advice, that was a good call and I don't mind spending a few more bucks and be prepped for DirectStorage in case it becomes a thing, went for the Samsung 980 1TB.

Best
