Currently running on a Ryzen 7 3700x \ 5700xt, build is 4 years old at this point, capable but ive got the upgrade itch and some new titles I want to get the most out of coming soon,
Will only ever use it to game,
My thinking is to base the build around the RX 7900 XTX, the 4080/ 4090 are possible top but ive always been an AMD fanboy and I would need a substantial difference in quality to move away
So my first goal is to find a CPU that doesn't get bottlenecks by the GPU, which leads me to Ryzen 9 7900 12 core 5.4ghz, but I am open to suggestion,
I'm planning on keeping my current rig for VR in the lounge, so I won't be keeping anything from it, and aside from having components that keep up (sufficient size\speed ram, reliable and beefy enough PSU) I am not into RGB for a premium or displaying my PCs internals so the case and other components are much more function than form for me... could be an ugly metal box and that suits me fine,
Always clueless when it comes to mobos, just need something that fits the CPU slot
Ive always gone with fan cooling, wouldnt be opposed to water cooling but fan noise is of zero concern to me so often i found the finkecy build complications of a water system were never groundbreaking enough to replace a good heating
RAM should be more than I need but not by much, convention seems to be 32GB now (am I wrong)? So maybe consider going 64GB for some overhead future proofing
Don't care if its SSD or M.2,, a good 4-10tb of storage is likely on the menu but im fine enough figuring that out for myself
Case is irrelevant, should just fit the parts
I'm just a bit unsure if the CPU is good enough or overkill
I'm also unsure if me sticking to AMD is suitable here, benchmarks put it 3rd behind 4080 and 4090, but I don't see enough must have in those cards versus this one, am I wrong?
And id take great benefit and would appreciate it very much if someone had advice on how best to build this, ive greatly appreciated the help ive been offered before and would love to lean on that again if someone might be so generous to spare the time?
