Hello im wanting to build a new system for faster performance.

Case - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-mag-forge-112r-mid-tower-gaming-case-black-ca-011-ms.html

PSU - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cors...power-supply-cp-9020295-uk-pow-crs-03874.html

Motherboard - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...ocket-am5-ddr5-atx-motherboard-mb-375-ms.html

RAM - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/team...000c38-6000mhz-dual-channel-ki-my-0ay-tg.html

Hardisk - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/wd-b...0-solid-state-drive-wds100t3x0-hd-58f-wd.html

OS - Windows 11 Home - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/microsoft-windows-11-home-64-bit-dvd-oem-kw9-00632-sw-18j-ms.html

GPU - I own a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070

Will these parts work together, will all psu wires be long enough and provide power cable to my graphics card, when comes to installing Operating system windows 11 requires Secure Boot, and TPM 2.0, can it all be enabled in the MSI BIOS?

Would the 750 watt power supply be enough for the system and the GPU card I have.

Can someone check all these parts will work together with no issues.

Thanks David.

What exactly do you use the PC for, is it just gaming or other things?

What are the exact specs of your current PC?

bitfenix · Friday at 19:19

Just browsing the internet with chrome and firefox. And for pc gaming on steam.

Current system.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
16GB DDR4 memory 3200mhz
AM4 GIGABYTE X570 GAMING X
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB (SSD)
650 watt corsair PSU

AM5 motherboards are all Windows 11 compatible.

Yes.

Where is CPU and CPU cooler?

Note that case has a max GPU length of 330mm (important: this is not that long).

bitfenix · Friday at 19:24

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7000 - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-...hz-socket-am5-processor-retail-cp-3dv-am.html

Processor comes with cpu cooler.

Maybe a Full tower pc case be better for room.

Not necessarily, you can get micro-atx cases with 350-400mm clearance, the MSI just appears to be quite small (length wise). If your 2070 is a compact card it will fit.

Are you factoring selling your existing parts into your budget?

If that's not something you're comfortable doing, you might be better off sticking with AM4 and grabbing a 5700X3D and a faster GPU.

My basket at OcUK:

1 x AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D Eight Core 4.1GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (SKU: PRO-AMD-01799) = £199.99
1 x Phanteks AMP GH 750W 80PLUS Gold ATX Power Supply Modular - Black (SKU: POW-PHK-02517) = £84.95
1 x Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB (2x16GB) 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Dual Kit (CMK32GX4M2Z3600C18) (SKU: MY-4CL-CS) = £49.99
1 x Crucial T500 1TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-CRU-01089) = £73.99
1 x Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9070 Gaming 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-SPR-03986) = £569.99

Total: £986.90 (includes delivery: £7.99)

Your existing PSU might be reusable depending on the exact model.

1 x AMD Ryzen - Monster Hunter Wilds Game Bundle (SKU: DIG-AMD-04648) = £0.00
1 x Gigabyte B850M DS3H (Socket AM5) DDR5 Micro ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-GIG-03862) = £139.99
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan EXPO 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C38 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (FLABD532G6000HC38ADC01) (SKU: MY-0B2-TG) = £79.99
1 x Team Group Z44A7 1TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-TMG-02623) = £64.99

1 x Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB Black CPU Cooler - 120mm (SKU: COO-TLR-02724) = £29.99

Total: £786.88 (includes delivery: £11.98)

I'd be tempted to go for the 5700X3D + higher end GPU, a 9070/XT with a 5700X3D will outclass a 7000/9000 series CPU + a 2070

bitfenix · Friday at 20:25

Thanks for the reply's

Im going stick with the original parts i've posted , I want the faster 6000mhz DDR5 memory + CPU.

Would this case be better for GPU room? - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/lian-li-lancool-iii-rgb-full-tower-pc-case-white-ca-7az-ll.html

GPU Support

420mm

And ill ask again will all parts work?

That's a shocking amount of money to spend on a case when you're working with a limited budget, especially given you desperately need a GPU upgrade given your use case.

Outside of gaming you don't do anything that stresses your hardware, you're very unlikely to notice the difference between your current rig and what you're planning on for web browsing and youtube.

Yes, but Lian Li's 216 would be a better choice for value.

bitfenix said:

B650 and 7700 is compatible, though the Tomahawk you're looking seems expensive, given that the newer B850 has PCI-E 5.0 graphics (at least, most of them do).

The RAM appears to be XMP (intended for Intel). I don't know if it is present on the motherboard's QVL. However, most 6000 kits will work with Ryzen 7000/9000.

The SSD fits the motherboard, but there have been some issues with WD's DRAMless drives like the SN770 and Windows 24H2. I think it has been resolved with firmware updates, but an alternative drive might be a prudent choice there.

PSU: has the necessary connectors, but seems expensive when the RMe is positioned below the RMx/RMx Shift.

9800X3D on Gigabyte X870I Pro Ice

Hello guys, Could you help me reading all the post and answering every single point so I can understand? Tried to see tutorial but I still need help. I've seen there is the 9800X3D thread with over 1000 pages and I can't really get together so many informations and when I do I fail mixing bios...

Magical.

Ask for advice after purchasing an item they clearly don't understand, then get mad when advised by people that do understand it. Been seeing it a lot lately, I figure there must be a full moon at least somewhere in the universe and I'm pretty sure half of these people aren't from this earth.

The above isn't directed at you OP/Bitfenix, it's just an odd trend.

Regardless, I would really consider why you're upgrading and what you want from it. @Tetras has already suggested better options for the same or similar money if you're dead set on a platform update and keeping your current GPU for the time being.

Rob_B · Friday at 21:45

I could probably re-phrase my earlier comment

A 5700X3D + RX9070 will destroy a 9700X + a 2070 in gaming.

dfour · Saturday at 14:18

Just sticking a 5700x3d will be a big upgrade to your system and should eek out more performance on your 2070 depending what you play and at what resolution.
