Hello all,

So I have just finished my upgrade on my PC and was hoping to get an assessment of rig now that it is finished. Just looking to see if I have put together a good rig or if there is anywhere I can improve it. Would love to hear from you all.

MOBO: ASUS ROG Strix X570-Gaming E
CPU: Ryzen 3800x
Cooler: Kraken Z63 280mm in Push mounted to the top of the case
RAM: 32gb Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3600Mhz
GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra Gaming
PSU: Corsair CX750F RGB 80+ Bronze
Case: Corsair Crystal 680X
Monitor: Odyssey G7 32"
Keyboard: Corsair K100
Mouse: Logitech Chaos Spectrum

I think its a pretty good rig, using Samsung Evo M.2s and a couple of Samsun SSDs.

Looks pretty solid spec the only thing is to get a gold rated psu like the corsair rm but im guessing you when for rgb bling.
 
Not balanced or with good bang per buck.

Over expensive board with badly designed chipset cooler as break down timer.
Cheaper Gigabyte and MSI boards have properly designed chipset coolers working passively when case cooling does its job.
​
While CPU is old 2019 Zen2 architecture model, whose performance has been surpassed.

Very overpriced for performance waterpipe cooler.
Slim mid size radiators actually have problems in challenging top heatpipe coolers in continuous cooling per noise.
While lot cheaper Arctic Freezer IIs have genuinely beefy radiator for actually lots of surface area.​

Memory with brand and Ridiculously Grossly Bloated pricing.
Same latency non-RGB memory can be had for £80 cheaper and Kingston's RGB kit is £50 cheaper​

And PSU is very substandard for the excess spent on elsewhere.


Also almost all Samsung drives are seriously brand overpriced except in bigger discounts.
Some drives even use very inferior tech, whose native uncached sequential write speed is worser than in 10 years old HDD.
 
My only advice would be never.. ever cheap out on the PSU. Get a good quality gold rated and it should be stable and last for ages unless you get super unlucky.
 
It's a good solid setup. However if you wanted to nit pick, I would say you want to at the very least aim for a gold rated PSU or ideally even a platinum rated one, it'll save you some money on energy bills in the long run and probably be a higher quality PSU as well.

Also, you didn't mention what storage you are using but with your setup I would say M.2 SSD boot drive would be a good plus.
