Gaming build to match 5090

yaced · 2025-01-22T19:40:24+0000

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade my 5600x / 3080 system for gaming (not used for anything else). I'll sell the existing system. This assumes I can buy a 5090 via the pre-orders.

I'm thinking along the lines below. I'm not bothered about brands / looks. Anything glaring as incorrect or any suggestions greatly appreciated.

My basket at OcUK:

1 x AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Sixteen Core 5.70GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DR-AM) = £589.99
1 x Asrock X870 Pro RS (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-ASR-03309) = £209.99
1 x Aerocool Integrator Gold 1000W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply (SKU: CA-23U-AE) = £124.99
1 x Corsair Vengeance 32GB EXPO (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C30 6000MHz Dual Channel (SKU: MEM-CRS-02786) = £89.99
1 x WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS200T2X0E) (SKU: HD-591-WD) = £144.95
1 x Arctic Liquid Freezer III High Performance CPU Water Cooler - 360mm (SKU: COO-ARC-01991) = £76.99
1 x Phanteks Eclipse G400A Case Tempered Glass DRGB Satin Black (SKU: CAS-PHK-03104) = £84.95

Total: £1,321.85 (includes delivery: £0.00)

The 9800X3D is a better bet, if you're only gaming.

Hi.

98000x3d should be you first choice for gaming .

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail

Order AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail now online and benefit from fast delivery.

PSU is poor choice but not much stock at Overclockers.

The arctic freezer 3 360mm won't fit in the top of the case because it's radiator is to thick 38mm compared to 27mm standard most aio coolers.

As above 9800x3d...
Regarding mobo, you have the non wifi version there..just so youre aware. Even if you dont use it, might be worth it for resale when you upgrade in the futurre

You will have to rethink the case or cooler.

As mickyflinn said, the Arctic will not fit in the roof due to thickness and the front of the case can only take 140mm fans so it wont fit there either.

The Arctic does fit in the Lancool 216. (it's on pre order here though)

My basket at OcUK:

1 x Lian Li Lancool 216 RGB Mid-tower PC case - Black (SKU: CA-7B8-LL) = £89.99

Total: £97.98 (includes delivery: £7.99)

Think it can fit in the Lancool 207 as well.

Definitely go with a 9800x3d unless you're going to be doing a lot of productivity.
