New 5090 Build Advice

kitkat9933 · 2025-01-30T12:15:52+0000

Assuming I can get a 5090 FE, I will be putting together a new build. I have no care for RGB or case visuals. Main requirements are for as quiet operation as possible. As well as a black case that fits in my under desk mount (Height: 354 - 543mm / Width: 170 - 300mm / Weight: Up to 25kg).

I play at 4k 120fps and want them frames.

Current build I have put together is as follows:

My basket at OcUK:

1 x AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-03517) = £479.99
1 x be quiet! Silent Base 802 Midi Tower Case - Black Window (SKU: CA-148-BQ) = £149.99
1 x Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite WIFI7 (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-GIG-03318) = £329.98
1 x TeamGroup Xtreem 48GB (2X24GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C38 8000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (SKU: MEM-TMG-03135) = £269.99
1 x be quiet! Dark Power 13 1000W 80 PLUS Titanium Power Supply (SKU: CA-14M-BQ) = £219.95
1 x Asus ProArt LC 360 Performance AIO CPU Liquid Cooler with Status Meter - 360mm (SKU: COO-ASU-03182) = £249.95

Total: £1,711.84 (includes delivery: £11.98)

you're going to need a PSU with x2 12vhpwr connectors for the 5090, but everything that has that is out of stock right now
some of the thermaltake toughpower psus have them, namely the gf3 1650, but good luck getting one, here or elsewhere, I have looked), oh but wait, I have found one elsewhere now!

I’m only building with FE which just needs 1 with 600w support which this psu offers.

i would advise a 4090 based on the US prices im seeing for the 5090 vs the uplift you get

Price isn’t really the issue. I’d rather pay more to get best perf. Esp as I only want the FE model which is the cheapest.

Would advise you to go 6000mhz c30 which optimal for AM5 you should be able to 64gb for that price if needed.

So slower would be better for am5?

i didnt mean money was tight, just for £2k on the FE if you get one at MSRP... but upto £2.7k for some after market that's just not ok

Agreed. It’s why I’m only building if i get FE.

so im going to assume you didnt get a FE in the 0.25 seconds it sold out

In fact I did
