Building My First PC

[teyen]

I decided recently to build a pc for the first time, i’m unsure as to what parts within my build could be problematic or if everything is okay.
Some of the concerns I have are:

Will my CPU cooler be enough for my CPU? ( I assume it will especially with the amount of fans within the build too).

Will my RAM and CPU cooler be compatible dimension wise?

Due to the amount of fans within the build, should I use a fan hub or splitter, or does it not matter?

PC specs:

NZXT H9 flow case
AMD 7950x
Deepcool Assassin IV
Gigabyte B650 aorus elite ax ATX AM5
Corsair vengeance 64gb DDR5-6000
Crucial P3 Plus 1TB
Crucial P3 Plus 2TB

XFX Speedster MERC 310 Black Edition Radeon RX 7900 XT 20 GB Video Card​

Corsair RM1000x (2021) 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply​

10x Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM​

I’m open to advice or changing things within the build, thank you in advance

What do you use your PC for primarily/secondarily?

What is your budget?

I plan to use it for primarily gaming, then streaming on the side too. Budget wise I’d like to stay around the £2500 mark, could maybe go up another 100 or 200.

Is this a gaming PC or a work PC? If the former you want a 7800X3D, not a 7950.

64 GB RAM is overkill for a gaming PC unless you're playing DCS or one or two other games.

Go for a hub or two. Given the number of fans you want, take a look at those fans that link together to reduce the cabling mess.

I like your split of drives but you might find a 4 TB data drive a better choice than a 2 TB data drive.

Does your budget include a monitor or do you have one already?

I already do have 2 monitors, and other peripherals.

This’ll be a gaming PC, but I’d like to stream too, would 64gb ram still be overkill?
Game wise that could be intense would maybe be Ark Survival Ascended, hence why I pushed up to 64.
Do you have any recommendations of fan hubs for build?

If I do need a 4TB SSD in the future, would I be able to add it in or would I have to change the 2TB out for it?

I'm unfamiliar with Ark Survival Ascended but a quick search indicates 32 GB will be fine; early versions had a memory leak but that's been fixed.



The motherboard you've chosen supports 3 M.2 slots so you'll be fine.

For gaming and streaming purposes do you still think I should swap to the 7800x3d? Also what are your thoughts on the CPU cooler?

 

[teyen]

I think I’d indeed swap the CPU cooler for the arctic AIO yousuggested, also the RAM too. Again I’d swap the 7800x3d for the 7950x as well.

Is the 4080 really worth buying over the 7900XT, especially it being around £300 more?
