Help me to configure or improve possible 9800 and 7900 build.

You'd save a lot of money with a peerless assassin, but eh.


They're not bad drives (DRAMless), TLC, decent endurance and perform well, but Crucial's T500, Fury Renegade and WD SN850X are high-end drives with DRAM.


Not bothered about USB4, then?

No idea about usb4 use case.
The reason for be quiet cooler, is it looks neat and performing well.
I know noctua is better I have it on my current 5600x CPU, but it's bulky and ugly.

Assassins is best option for the money, but 120mm fans and no square plate on the top is a turn off.

I don't understand benefits of Dram on SSD. If you willing to expand on this I would appreciate.

replace this with a PA120. that can be had for £30


what resolution are you playing at if its 4k or in many cases 1440p you spending way too much on a CPU that makes little to no differance
the X3D's are amazing at 1080p, and a little better at 1440p

you have maxed out your CPU but go mmmmm for GPU, im not saying the 7900xtx is bad its just not the maxed out choice

I'm 3440x1440 100fps cap.

CPU is the best in slot.
GPU is the best in slot. So not much else I can get for 1k £
Nvidia is not a good option. It's overpriced with no vram and out of stock.

But if you could offer something you have in mind I'm more that happy to listen.
Thanks.

You could save £200 on the cpu at 1440/4k the x3d will have a little bit of an advantage over other but capped at 100fps most CPU’s would be fine.

If you was using DLSS the cpu again would have been a good choice as when you drop res then upscale the x3d cpu dose help a lot.

The gonna good but not best in class be a long way. If you plan of using ray tracing you really need an RTX GPU.

It depends on the drive, since modern DRAMless drives are very capable with their newer controllers and firmware optimisations, but generically:
- More consistent performance across different workloads (especially in heavy use).
- Lower latency in some scenarios.
- Possibly lower wear, depending on how the DRAM is used.

They used to routinely come with higher endurance figures too, but newer HMB drives like the SN770 are often equivalent.

I would always prefer a DRAM drive for an OS/boot drive, but that's partly based on how SATA SSDs were, when DRAM drives were almost always superior in their flash and controller.

My plan is to keep 7900xtx for next 5-7 years. thus vram. and then see how market develops and what i can get afterwards. CPU hopefuly will last even longer. Ray tracing, dont even know what that is. its some kind of fancy reflections, i dont care about.
I tend to replace my pc every 7-10 years so hopefully CPU will serve me good long term.
