Hi, need a bit of advice if all the parts are compatible and will work together fine, or if I can expect any issues/problems any suggestions are welcome. I check it on pc****p**ker and all was good just want to ask anyone who knows their stuff if I should change anything or leave it as it is.
It is for 4K/"8K" gaming most AAA titles in Max Settings that's why I am getting this "BEAST"

I have already the GPU, CPU cooler, and M.2 SSD, on my way is the PSU, the build

Type | Item | Price



**CPU** | [AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor] - £750.00 (C****s PC)

**CPU Cooler** | [ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420 72.8 CFM AIO] - £114.95

**Motherboard** | [ASUS AMD RYZEN X570 ROG Crosshair VIII Hero WIFI AM4 PCIe 4.0 ATX] - £399.98

**Memory** | [Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 16GB 4000MHz] - £164.99

**Storage** | [Samsung 970 Pro 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME] - £129.45

**Storage** | [Samsung 970 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME] - £229.40

**Video Card** | [PowerColor Radeon RX 6900 XT 16 GB Red Devil Limited Edition Video Card] - £1339.99

**Case** | [be quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 Rev. 2 ATX Full Tower Case] - £239.99

**Power Supply** | [Corsair HX Platinum 1000 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX] £199.99



All together gives around £3 568,74 (ouch) give or take, besides some of the deals i "scored" and got the parts a tiny bit cheaper.

Hi welcome

You should edit out that store name next to the cpu, as it is against the rules to mention competitors :)

If this is just a gaming pc then a 5950X is major overkill, and it won't be any better than a 5600X in terms of framerate.

Also 8K gaming ? If you are fine with 20fps - 30fps then go for it ;) I would say that 4K or 3440 x 1440 makes more sense.

You could save money on the case, board and ram, and I agree that 32GB would be better, especially with the amount being spent.
 
Agreed drop the 5950x to a 5800X at most. As Lee said a 5600x will give you better frame rates in most games than a 5950x but a 5800x will give you a bit of future proofing without wasting money.

My changes

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,061.16 (includes shipping: £13.20)


The ram may seem a bit expensive but it does 3600mhz at really tight timings so should easily do 4000+ with looser timings should you want to play around with them.​
 
Sorry for that, my bad

Thanks to all of you for pointing out what to change and suggestions to the build, much appreciated

Nowadays I see a shift from 1080p towards 1440p neither the less 4K but slowly and 8K future (In a galaxy far far away)

I will make changes to what @dfour suggested and take the Ryzen 7800X and RAM and motherboard the case RGB I am not a fan do you have any "Stealth" options?

I want an All Black/stealth-ish PC I know boring but I'm not a teen to enjoy light shows in my room :)

Whilst the 8Pack Ram is nice I personally prefer value for money. You can get a 32GB kit for nearly half the price. The money saved far outweighs the gains.

So either of these two for example:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £298.68 (includes shipping: £8.70)
​


These two cases can both fit a 420mm AIO if you want no RGB.


My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £269.88 (includes shipping: £15.90)

Just turn the rgb off or dont connect it to the motherboard and it wont work while the fans will still work. Stealth done easy and still have a well cooled case :)

@lee32uk I agree with you. I was just following his 'beast mode' dream
 
The manufacturers tend to over estimate the wattage needed. I can't find a review for the 6900XT Red Devil so hard to say for sure. If you feel better having a 1000W unit then see if either of the above are in stock on the 10th. The Phanteks one you listed is also a good unit, but that just shows as out of stock so you would have to ask for an ETA if you wanted that unit.
 
Yes, I Did check on the requirements for the GPU on the manual says 900W and I did watch some lads on YT saying they use a 1200W while using, an 850W and the PC just turned off while in use.
But to be more specific the CPU in there build is an AMD Ryzen 9 5950x or 5900x and 850W PSU was not enough. I'm not sure if that's a thing or not really, I did read some articles saying that AMD CPU are quite "Power Hungry"
I did get the AMD Ryzen 7 5800x + MSI MAG X570 Tomahawk + WiFi as dfour recommended and the Viper Patriot 32GB RAM 3600Mhz + Phanteks Eclipse P600 Mid Tower Case Grey like lee32uk suggested, the Case is Absolutely Fantastic and really nice looking.

The build with your suggestions/recommendations will be SuperB!
The rest of the components stayed the same GPU, SSD, CPU cooler AIO and I will wait till the PSU gets delivered should be on the days but I'm not gonna lie I'm getting a bit impatient but I will post the full build after it's done here so stay tuned :cool:
 
The p600 is a cracking case, its what i have. if there is one complaint i have about it, its that there isnt a great amount of room under the shroud for the drive bays once the psu and associated cables are in, i could only get two drives. How did you get on?
