New build, looking for advice.

[Mark Christie]

Hi all,

Current system is roughly 4-5 years old and is still doing well but i am looking to upgrade to improve performance. Also for newer games coming out. Hoping this system should last around the same. Just looking to see what everyone thinks and if there is any changes you would make. It's been a while since I've looked and built a new PC. No SSD required as I already have x2 in my current PC.

£640 is too much for a 4070 Super, should be more like £550.

You don't 'need' an AIO for a 7800X3D, a peerless assassin/phantom spirit would do it.

It is highly recommended to buy 2x32GB rather than 4x16GB, you're far less likely to have headaches. Ideally, I'd also choose AMD EXPO rather than Intel XMP, though XMP is similarly supported by most boards.

The C750 Bronze doesn't have a 16 pin so you'd have to use the adapter for your card. I'd suggest getting an ATX 3.0/PCIE5 PSU with a native cable.

I appreciate your reply and thanks for you help. I've made some amendments , hopefully I'm on the right track now. Apologises for the Ram, I had to edit the picture and wasn't sure if you seen the first one that had 4x16gb. I had edited it and removed 2x16gb. Have added the Ram back in but with your recommendation of getting AMD EXPO.

The Corsair SHIFT has side-mounted cables, so you'd need to check it is compatible with your case, I think Corsair has a listed of compatible cases (including third party) on their website, or you'd probably find someone on reddit asking the same question. I did look myself, but all I could find was a popup on the product page where you can type in your case and it says yay/nay:

RM750x SHIFT 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (UK)

CORSAIR RMx SHIFT Series fully modular power supplies boast a revolutionary patent-pending side cable interface to keep all your connections within easy reach, for exceptionally convenient 80 PLUS Gold efficient power.
