New build (5950X)

[Loxa]

Hey, looking to revamp my build in the next few months after around 6-7years with my current. Going more high end than i have previously as i will be keeping the build for the same or more years. Always had a lot of issues with motherboards and overclocking so willing to spend a bit more on it than i normally have.

I listed two motherborads as i am torn between both at the moment, any suggestions or pointers on memory etc would be appreciated.

• 1 x Lian-Li O11 Dynamic XL (ROG Certified) Aluminium Midi-Tower - Black= £204.95
• 1 x Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 Chipset ATX Motherboard= £499.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 9 5950X Sixteen Core 4.9GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £839.99
• 1 x Team Group 8Pack Edition 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit= £299.99

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...4-x570-chipset-atx-motherboard-mb-57t-gi.html

do their own AIO

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...uid-aio-performance-cpu-cooler-hs-00c-gi.html

as above, not doing workloads then 5800x and b550 will do!

and 32gb of ram - save a lot!

What will the PC be used for?

Gaming / Streaming, i always run an mmo in the background while playing a fps or i used to pc cannot handle it as well now days. Also normally have a minecraft server up for kids. Basically will be doing everything i just mention at the same time, i know it is still overkill so to speak but that is not a large concern of mine as the amount of years i will have the system.

also, just because, would get 2tb for the price of 1tb nvme 4.0

3600hz should be fine to be honest, specially if you want 32GB of it . Whats your monitor resolution and gpu ?

1440p and 980ti atm, will be upgrading to a 4k monitor or 1440p - 240hz and 3080/6800XT in the near future. Depending on prices of course.

850W would be enough for this system? ATM with a 980TI but will be a 3080 or 6800XT in the future? Cheers.

850w should be fine , use a solid unit!

Motherboards seem crazy expensive, though they are good. Not sure when you are considering buying but I believe the X570S revision boards are potentially out soon.
