Hey Guys,

Looking at a new build my current machines lasted me a fair while to say the least but with constant crashouts when trying to load chrome with GTA:fiveM open and the genuine need to just have something newer so this current build can go on my spare desk as a secondary for the misses to use when needed I want to know what I can do.

So I'll be keeping the NVME drive from my current pc which is a 1TB 970 Evo, which will leave the 1TB Samsung SSD in this one for her with all of the other parts.

I'll need a case I was debating the Lian LI Mesh case can't remember its name but watched a couple of videos from nexus seeing its a very good airflow wise case?

I was looking between the Ryzen 5800x and the 5900x both are in stock at the moment obviously the 5900 is probably overkill, but with me sometimes using the work to compile builds for deployments and things when I take work home I'd rather it be overkill as work are paying towards my replacement anyway... :)

Of course if I was just gaming id say the 5600x would be enough, but with consoles moving to 8 cores the 5600 obviously covers this need which game devs will probable lean towards more now, but im thinking the 5900x is like £100-£150 more than the 5800x I'll be getting 10% discount on it anyway, and as I say work are paying towards it so thinking get a 5900x right?

then motherboard not sure thinking an MSI 570 or something similar just prefer MSI in general had gigabyte on my last but honestly open to suggestions here?

Then maybe 16gb/32gb ram, again not sure what to go for her will probably go white RGB corsair (i mean rgb adds fps right? LOL)

I'll need a power supply, then thinking I could hook my current graphics card into my new pc while I debate between a 3080 or 3090? I want a 3080 and didn't really want to go any lower but stockwise their a pain in the arse at the moment anyway so maybe mine can battle through until there more commonly available?

Anyway can somebody give me some advice it would be greatly appreciated! My Monitors a 1440p 165hz acer pred xb271hu, thanks in advance for your help!
 
 
Perfect really just gonna see if can get the white models of any the above :) so cpu aio rad at the front thats same as my current one anyway! And would you recommend a 3080 seen ocuk have some in atm?
 
@mickyflinn Hey so I was looking at the list is there any white motherboards that you can find whether its on site or off site? I've found a white RAM set is that the same mhz wise as the one you mentioned baove but not sure if its Ryzen tuned? would this still be good to use? just wanted the white version, also changed the case over to the white version. :)

Additionally is there any corsair AIOS of similar quality? So could keep the memory and AIO in one piece of software? :)

For me keeping all the fans the same would be more important as it would look odd if they don't match. The corsair rgb memory should sink to the fans and would be less noticable if sligtly diffrent than 2 sets of fans But its your call.

The vision d board has more features like thunderbolt, Wi-Fi but you should check out the differences betwen the 2.

You definately want a motherboard with bios flashback feature as this can update the bios without the need for another cpu, this sometimes has to be done to get a 5000 cpu to work.

Both motherboards have this feature.

Cool last question although slighty more cost wise would one of the below and an additional 3 pack of matching corsair fans do the trick to replace case fans have them all matching and on the same software? :) call me a 'slight' corsair fan ok but the cash I save elsewhere on the RAM, and not needing a drive as I already have one covers this difference, I assume although a little extra cost would give me similar or better cooling results regardless? And you say front mounted AIO definitely over top mount right?
iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler — White
 
oh no I'll keep the lian li case as I like it! :) so ill stick with front AIO and potentially change the fans but if the AIO is fine thats perfect! :) I just didn't know if 360mm AIO had massive benefit over a 280mm for example :) as I could have went 280 and put it in the top if top was good, on my current build I have front AIO 280 and just a random fan at the bottom to add extra airflow I appreciate all of your time anyway I will get to ordering some parts!
 
@mickyflinn The differences between the two boards barring cost is mainly the thunderbolt/wifi which I require neither of I don't believe? If I'm just planning on running the 1 graphics card, my single M2 drive with the potential of a second for storage at a later date if I ever get close to filling the first up, would you think there's any point going for the vision at £40-£50 more than the Rog board you recommended in white? :) once I hear from you I think I'll begin placing my orders lol!

gigabyte is UK RMA , asus is EU. support from gigabyte rma is better .
The vision D- P version has internal USB C header , £209

VRM

https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/gigabyte-b550-vision-d-review,4.html

Strix is 12+2 but triple output, Vision is Dual output

Triple-Output means that the PWM controller output (1 phase) drives 3 mosfets, without doublers or anything else. Using a doubler in synchronized mode would have nearly the same effect. Only doublers in interleaving mode considered to be better. So overall yes, it's just 4 phase, but it isn't a bad vrm. It maybe has more voltage ripple, but efficiency-wise it's nearly the same.

£213.48 if were both looking in the same place? :) but that's doable would you say its definitely the better option at £40 more than the ROG although the ROG is more aesthetically pleasing in terms of graphics and things on it
 
shame the corsair AIO CPU I found all the fan packs I see I can only find ones with a black outer trim for the ML120 fans, so I think I might just replace the ones on the AIO from the white to the ones with the black edging since they'll be hidden behind the front panel and use the white ones in the visible rear and top rear spots :)

Between myself and @orbitalwalsh you have enough info on the pros of Gigabyte motherboard so you have to decide if it's worth the extra £40.

Personally i probably would having features that can be useful in the future, but you can always use add on cards for Wi-Fi, etc if needed.

But i do like the look of the asus . :D

Sorry to throw you a curve ball but check out the NZXT AMD B550 N7 Matte White ATX Motherboard.

Im not a fan of the NZXT one so thats fine lol! :) bahhhh I think my brains telling me to pick the vision, but my aesthetic need is saying take the ROG you hardwire your PC everywhere you go so don't need wireless! from a comparison I just looked at the Vision Support crossfire (I don't need) Wireless Lan (again not needed but guess nice) supports 4866mhz 5000mhz ram (again wont be used as my rams lower than that) has an extra x16 PCI-E slot which I don't think I'll need as these are just for additional graphics right? and has 1 extra M2 Port but I can't see me ever using more than 2? :)

Judging by the above and my aesthetic need, and understanding the RMA issues I think I might just go with the ROG but I do appreciate the recommendation of the gigabyte board massively, obviously appreciating the VRM on the gigabyte board is probably better, I think most of the rest of it between them both balance out right? :)
