Pc spec advice high budget

[smogsy]

So a friend wants to build a gaming rig high end no expense spared budget is 30k but mentioned he wants a great sim rig with too

I think his mad, I think <£5000 for a pc should be fine

Looking for thoughts an input on spec

Thinking
12c/16c and/intel (most games will need)
64gb of ram (just because budget allows)
He wants a 4090
Bunch of none ssds
Decent seasonic psu

As he wants low maintenance so thinking large case with slow fans and noctua cooler
Maybe a torrent +dh15

Yeah, £5000 would do it easily. The only way to spend more is to pick something like threadripper, but there's no point in that just for gaming.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Sixteen Core 5.70GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DR-AM) = £529.99
• 1 x Asus TUF Gaming X670E-Plus (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6JA-AS) = £250.00
• 1 x Crucial Pro 96GB (2x48GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C46 5600MHz Dual Channel Kit (SKU: MEM-CRU-01084) = £248.99
• 1 x Asus GeForce RTX 4090 TUF OC 24GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-48B-AS) = £1,729.99
• 1 x Crucial T700 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen5 M.2 Solid State Drive (CT2000T700SSD3) (SKU: HD-07D-CR) = £293.99
• 1 x Crucial T500 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-CRU-01090) = £151.99
• 1 x ASUS TUF Gaming GT501 Midi-Tower Case - Black Tempered Glass (SKU: CA-059-AS) = £169.99
• 1 x Seasonic VERTEX PX-1000 ATX3.0 1000W 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power Supply (SKU: CA-08Q-SS) = £229.99
• 1 x EK Water Blocks EK-Nucleus AIO CR360 Dark All In One CPU Water Cooler - 360mm (SKU: HS-016-EK) = £109.99

Total: £3,726.91 (includes delivery: £11.98)​

A 14900K would need some temperature & power management to air cool (or even with an AIO, tbh).

He is pretty much going with this spec besides maybe more storage space and all gen5 spec and slightly more ROG version of ASU’s motherboard

his just finding a case and buy button is happenihg
