New Build to go with 9070xt

[JJimmyJ]

Evening all,

I was planning this later in the year, but bit early due to the 9070xt deal.
Looking at passing on my current comp to my eldest, so time for me to treat myself. First build for around 6yrs, but have upgraded along the way

Purchase Timeframe: asap

Budget: £1,000 max (I'm Scottish so cheaper the better)

Usage: Mainly gaming, 1440p and hooking up to VR headset

Preferences: No real allegiance to any brand

Current Hardware: CPU - 3700x
MB - Asus X470 Prime Pro
GPU - 3060ti
PSU - Antec 650w
RAM - 16gb 3200

Peripherals: Probably need a KB and Mouse and would look at 1080p monitors for him

Special Needs/Requirements (inc Wi-Fi): I have a wired connection in the room, so not neccessary, but handy

I've put this together so far:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core 5.20GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-03517) = £399.95
• 1 x MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-375-MS) = £154.99
• 1 x MSI MAG A850GL 850W 80 Plus Gold ATX 3.0 PCIE5Modular Power Supply (SKU: CA-012-MS) = £104.99

There's been a fair few complaints about these being noisy, including on the forum here.

Reluctantly, I'd have to suggest you go B850 and get PCIE 5.0. It is starting to matter if you don't buy a high-end card, especially if the VRAM is on the lower side.

Also added a drive, forgot about that. Wouldn't be for mine as I have a few already
