New Pc after 10 yrs

[snakegb]

Hi All,

After 10 years its time for a new System, below is what am thinking for my gaming pc

so its been a while, do I have all the items matched up and am I getting the best bang for my buck I have a max spend of £5000


AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D

64GB (2x32GB) Corsair DDR5 Vengeance Grey, PC5-48000 (6000), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 30

MSI MAG X670E TOMAHAWK WIFI, AMD X670, S AM5, DDR5, SATA3, PCIe 5.0, 4x M.2, 2.5GbE, USB 3.2 Gen2x2, ATX

ASUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 TUF Gaming OG 24GB

Corsair RMe Series 1000 Watt Compact Fully Modular 80+ Gold PCIe5 PSU/Power Supply ATX3.0

Corsair iCUE H150i RGB ELITE AIO Cooler, 360mm

1TB WD Blue SA510, M.2 (2280) SATA III

2TB WD Blue SA510, M.2 (2280) SATA III


Antec Flux, Black/Wood, Mid Tower Chassis

49" Gigabyte AORUS CO49DQ Curved Monitor, 1800R

Razer BlackWidow V4 X Mechanical Keyboard

Razer DeathAdder V2 X HyperSpeed Wireless Mouse (Because I have little Hands)

1TB WD Blue SA510, M.2 (2280) SATA III

2TB WD Blue SA510, M.2 (2280) SATA III

These are not compatible with the motherboard. SATA M.2 drives are dead.

Corsair RMe Series 1000 Watt Compact Fully Modular 80+ Gold PCIe5 PSU/Power Supply ATX3.0

This is a low-end PSU for such a big budget, I'd suggest either Corsair's shift (if the case is compatible) if you want to stay with Corsair, or this:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Antec HCG 1200 Pro Platinum 1200W ATX3.1 Full modular Power Supply (SKU: POW-ATC-02747) = £209.99

Total: £213.98 (includes delivery: £3.99)​

AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X3D

For pure gaming, go with the 7800X3D.

Are you sure? I thought that SATA drives would work in NVME slots but not vice versa. Still, @snakegb wants NVME drives, not SATA ones, and I suggest one 1 TB drive for the OS and a 4TB or 8 TB drive for games and data.

I haven't seen SATA mode supported on M.2 slots since the release of AM5/1700.

 

[snakegb]

Good point ill change the m.2 sata drives.
Also yes better Psu sounds good.
Not sure on the 7800 cpu, I know its faster but I also use pc for some business stuff.

There's not many general business applications that will use 16 cores. Excel will use them for huge spreadsheets and video-editing software will use them for processing videos. If you have specialised software, that's a different matter.

Tell us the most demanding program you use ?

 

[snakegb]

I only use Excel

 

[tamzzy]

i'd just get the 7800x3d then lol

nice budget, but you don't have to spend it all

I like the build and suggestions thus far, but with 5000 series so close, if it was me I would be uncomfortable spending the 4090 money at this point.

Oh and as someone who uses Excel daily, I think the build is fine, hahaha

Normally I would say 7800x3d but you have a healthy budget and if your needs increase you have the ability to do so.

Get the 7950x3d

When are the 5000 series due to drop.

When are the 5000 series due to drop.

Q1-2 2025, its not the time frame more the rumored performance uplift. Especially as you seem to keep your systems a long time.
