Building my first gaming pc and need some advice

[ALTBOULI]

I'm trying to build my first gaming PC and could do with advice in a few areas..

I should probably start with what I do currently have (not a lot):
PSU - corsair hx850
2× Noctua NF-A14 ULN fans
Phanteks p500a (ordered and on its way)

What I'm currently finding a challenge is choice for Motherboard, GPU and general cooling.

Fans:
The case I ordered has 2 140 mm fans that come with it + I bought 2 Noctua 140mm ultra quiet fans, but their only 800rpm (not sure if that will be ok). I'm thinking of getting another 2 fans so that I can have 3 intake and 3 exhaust. Will the 800rpm Noctua fans be ok? Should I be concerned with static pressure and if so should I be consistent and get the same fans all round?

CPU cooling:
In terms of CPU cooling I'm feeling very lost, I want something fairly simply but effective, so air cooling rather than water, I have been looking at the Noctua NH-D15 but its quite expensive and I'm not sure if it would be overkill (not planning to overclock anything and I'm looking to buy the Ryzen 5800x).

Motherboard:
Given that I'm planning to get a Ryzen 5000 chip I would ideally prefer a motherboard that I can pickup and will work with this generation of CPU out the box, failing that a motherboard that allows me to flash the bios without needing another CPU.

I have been looking at a few x570 boards but I'm not sure I actually need the extra functionality these board provide over B550 boards. So does anyone have any good suggestions here?

GPU:
Finally and the most difficult component to get...I wanted either 6800xt or an rtx3080 but with the shortage of GPU's and the crazy prices atm I think it would be better if I bought a really cheap GPU for basic gaming and Web browsing until the cards I want are more readily available. Are there any good GPU's that I could purchase between £50-70 as a stop gap for a few months.

I should probably add that I'm looking to buy new, dont feel comfortable buying second hand electronics especially for a first build with relatively expensive parts

Hi

Graphics card your just going hh see what you can get and see if you can find a stop gap gpu.

Motherboard x570 offers more pcie lanes ports over the b550 so if you want more thsn 2 x m2 take into consideration

Added 2 quality coolers that are great value and run virtally silent .


CODE My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Alpenfohn Brocken 3 CPU Cooler - 140mm= £42.95
• 1 x Alpenfohn Brocken 3 Black Edition CPU Cooler Dual Fan Edition - 140mm= £53.99
• 1 x Patriot Viper Steel 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C18 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit (PVS432G360C8K)= £149.99
• 1 x WD Blue SN550 1TB NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS100T2B0C)= £94.99
• 1 x MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk WiFi (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 ATX Motherboard= £209.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Eight Core 4.7GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £399.95
• 1 x MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard= £169.99

Total: £1,132.95 (includes shipping: £11.10)
​

Funnily enough the 2 motherboards you mentioned above are the 2 I was looking at, the x570 Tomahawk has had a lot of very good reviews but I could save £40 buying the B550 variant (will have to weight them up a big more)

and I have heard good things about the Scyth Fuma 2 but its either sold out or very overpriced https://www.overclockers.co.uk/scythe-scfm-2000-fuma-2-dual-fan-cpu-cooler-2x120-mm-hs-04f-sy.html

Good cooler.

The alphenon coolers perform very close to the Noctua nh d15 virtally silent and 100% ram clearance.

Oh and in stock

Nice, thanks for the advice, I will take a look at the alphenon coolers before making a decision.

In regards to my non-cooler fans does low rpm fans matter? Mine are 800rpm but they are 140mm instead of 120, im assuming its ok?
