Hello guys, I'm about to upgrade PC. Today I pre-ordered r7 9800x3d.

What I would like is ddr5 min. 32gb with RGB, 1tb/2tb M2, don't know what power supply and motherboard, card 4080s or 7900xtx I'm not using RT in games, and stay with my pc case with CPU cooler.

Thank you very much for help.

You could have upgraded the CPU in your current build but anyhow...

There's a roundup of X870 boards here:

The PSU in my spec is based on the Seasonic Vertex, review here:

Antec HCG1000 Pro Platinum 1000W PSU Review - KitGuru

It has been some time since we last looked at a power supply from Antec, however today we analyse a

www.kitguru.net

Note that the Vertex has a 2 year longer warranty (12 year).

The Antec has enough connectors 3x independent PCI-E cables and 2x EPS 12v for motherboard/CPU.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Asrock X870 Pro RS WIFI (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MOT-ASR-03308) = £220.00
• 1 x Kingston FURY Beast EXPO RGB 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 PC5-44800C30 6000MHz Dual Channel Kit (SKU: MEM-KNG-03708) = £199.99
• 1 x Powercolor Radeon RX 7900 XTX HellHound 24GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-1AT-PC) = £829.99
• 1 x Antec HCG 1200 Pro Platinum 1200W ATX3.1 Full modular Power Supply (SKU: POW-ATC-02747) = £209.99

Total: £1,467.96 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

Thank you very much. Could you please advise for m.2 2tb, because 512gb is not enough this days. Or upgrade motherboard to have 2 slots of m.2 storage. So I can have system windows on 512gb separate, does it effect windows runs quicker ?

Thank you.

Or upgrade motherboard to have 2 slots of m.2 storage.

Most boards have at least 2, X870/X870E normally has 3 or 4.

So I can have system windows on 512gb separate, does it effect windows runs quicker ?

If you just play games it is not important, but you can keep your drive so there's no problem.

Could you please advise for m.2 2tb

Based on current prices, I would suggest this one for a higher-end drive with DRAM:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Crucial T500 2TB NVMe PCIe Gen4 M.2 Solid State Drive (SKU: STO-CRU-01090) = £133.99

Total: £137.99 (includes delivery: £3.99)​

Asrock X870 Riptide WiFi due to black colour.
2x 32GB CORS VENG RGB 6000 C30
Antec HCG 1200 Pro Platinum 1200W
7900XTX will buy on black Friday deal.

Thank you for your advice.

just a thought if not shipped etc
if this will be your build going forward
nice parts but a 7900 xtx draws 360w of power..could just get a 1000w psu for £120-140 be more than sufficient..at that price still modular with 10year warranty etc..9800x3d still a very efficient cpu..you wont be straining anything.
.b650 mobo also really if going black as the riptide is £259 irrc, the nice thing about the rs wifi was the price for what you getting..unless you want usb4, a asus b650e-f is cheaper and still give a pcie gen5 gpu/m.2 slot..if you just want pcie 5 m.2 slot only, someing like the b650 gaming wifi for £165 will do
a crucial t500 2tb m.2 wil offer similar performance/endurance to a 990 pro but is £134 at mo (as @Tetras put above)..or the teamgroup G70 pro tb (£135)...actually, just seen the kingston fury renegade 2tb reduced to £134 from £179..that'd be my choice.7300read/7000write a 2000tbw endurance...'The Kingston Fury Renegade SSD is one of the fastest and most consistent Gen 4 drives I’ve ever tested-techradar'--from review, but plent gice it 5/5
if your keep everything and stay high end..look at 64gb ram. suprised @Tetras didn't mention it . He's an advocated, whereas I'm not so much...but high end is high end
prob me being a bit peeved with Asrock for not making a black board of the rs wifi...still scratching my head working out what the asrock steel legend (another white mobo) and the riptide (black version of the steel legend, which is still cheaper) have that the rs doesn't. vrm's are identical too, and testing they all performed with margin of error to each other, and vrms were with a degree of each other too

Thank you, all of these parts already arrived and waiting for 9800x3d (ordered 14:02). I know these parts are a bit over, I'll not use them in 100% but maybe they will last me for longer, always had mid tier pc, now I decided to got decent one. AMD said next CPU still will use and support am5, and probably in next year games will use more than 32gb. Thank you for your reply.
