Build advice

[Bubbagrump14]

So, I'm looking at a fairly expensive build for what I need (gaming), but i am a novice when it comes to what to buy and what does what etc, I've currently got so far the new cpu 5900x and looking at big navi when on release, but i need a motherboard, ssd, and a decent power supply some form of cooling preferable liquid cooling (i have a friend who can build it) ive got a fairly decent budget for it i just need advice.

Hi

Here is a rough idea. You don't really need to spend loads on the board as the B550 Tomahawk can handle a 5900X. If you want Wifi then the B550 Gaming Edge is just as good.

I haven't looked at AMD psu requirements, but 750W should be good. I would look at reviews just to make sure.

The WD Blue SN550 is a bit cheaper, but the SN750 is the better SSD. If you are shopping around then the Sabrent Rocket (Not Q) and Adata SX8200 Pro are also good.

Both of the coolers are very good. You would need to make sure that you case can fit a 360mm rad. There are 240mm/280mm options if not. No RGB on either of these, so if that is important then maybe look at Corsair, Coolermaster or NZXT etc.
