Ideally you want 6000mhz C30 memory for AM5 as anything above that speed change the CPU memory clock from 1:1 to 2:1 making it slightly slower.

Samsung 990 m2 There are cheaper alternatives that you wouldn't notice the difference so money to be saved

Arctic freezer has a thicker radiator than most 38mm compared to the standard 27mm + 25mm fan for both so make sure you have the clearance in your fitting at the top of your case.

5000 series GPUs are just put but difficult to get hold of but the 4070 super is good and can do 4k gaming also.
 
For running one M.2 drive, you don't need a board like X870E, X870 would be sufficient.

Agree with the above about the cooler.

Suggested changes (WIFI version of the board is a bit more):

My basket at OcUK:

Total: £1,055.94 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

ok ty very much i do admit that i might have gone overboard in fear that it might not work
 
i thought water cooling made the pc more cooler and made the pc give more performance or am i wrong?

From what I read it's only worth going watercooling if you have really hot CPU- where you need to radiate a lot of heat. For more efficient cooler running CPU's you can get away with decent air cooling. It does have advantages but it has negatives also.

Mine isn't the hottest I have a AMD 7700, and with Noctua D14 it doesn't go above 65 degrees under load

With motherboards, I'd really suggest that you buy on features that you need on the board, because otherwise you're just overpaying. The 9800X3D will work fine on pretty much any board. If you want USB4 and PCI-E 5.0 then it sets a floor of around £200 I'm afraid, but otherwise you're really free to choose.

The 9800X3D has very modest power usage, TPU's review had it use 88 watts on average in apps and 65 on average in games, with a max of 155 watts when fully multithreaded. Any decent large tower cooler can handle that kind of heat without being excessively noisy.

360mm AIOs are advisable for very high draw CPUs, like Intel 13th-14th gen i9, but for a 9800X3D they're overkill.
