Newbie building a new gaming PC - 7800X3D and RTX 4070 SUPER

[mickyflinn]

Thank you everyone for the super helpful advice! I'll read up on each suggested drive and select what to buy. Thanks again for being so helpful

You really don't need a dram m2 for gaming you would be hard pressed to even tell the difference with a sata SSD .

Let's us know your final parts list once you decide.

Enjoy.

Unfortunately, it appears the updated AMP series is no longer made by Seasonic and the warranty has been cut by 2 years. I think it is still decent, but no reputable reviews out yet, that I've seen.

I knew about the 8 year warranty, still ok as mine is only 7 years.

Can't find anywhere that says who makes it, so assumed it was still Seasonic.

that cpu gone up in price again!

How about this?

Not added a cooler but the thermalright frozen prism aio will bring it to just over £1500.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6K0-AS) = £169.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core 5.00GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DT-AM) = £359.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen - Space Marine & Unknown 9 Awakening Games Bundle (SKU: DIG-AMD-02908) = £0.00
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance RGB EXPO 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C30 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMH32GX5M2B6000Z30K) (SKU: MY-4DU-CS) = £115.99
• 1 x WD Black SN850X 1TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS100T2X0E) (SKU: HD-590-WD) = £89.99
• 1 x WD Black SN770 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS200T3X0E) (SKU: HD-58G-WD) = £109.99
• 1 x Asus GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Dual EVO 12GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ASU-02141) = £539.99
• 1 x NVIDIA - Star Wars: Outlaws Game Bundle (SKU: DIG-NVI-03030) = £0.00
• 1 x Phanteks AMP GH 750W 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply Modular - Black (SKU: POW-PHK-02517) = £84.95

Total: £1,470.89 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

​

The SN850X has DRAM cache but the SN770 doesn't (not needed for games).

750W is plenty for this build.

Not sure about the diffence between the GPU's, but the one i listed saves you £30.

Great build for the money - thinking along the same lines myself

That 7800X3D though! Gone up £40 recently as it used to be £350

In preperation for BF maybe?

In preperation for BF maybe?

most likely, lowest I have seen it at OCUK is £315

In preperation for BF maybe?

I'm waiting for quad CPU threadripper motherboards and four CPU's to become affordable.

What do you guys think about the power supply and cooler?

did you buy all of this in the end ? and also if you did what ssd

Thank you everyone for all the valuable advice!

I'm ordering everything but the SDD, as I'm still making sure that the advised WD Black SN770 1TB and 2TB are the best choice for me.

Hello how is this build doing so far? what sort of games you playing ?
