Spec me all white gaming PC £6000 budget

[eddywatson]

evening folks
I was looking at making or getting a new gaming rig. I would like all main components to be white
I have a £6000 budget - which means (hopefully lol) at the time of writing this topic one of the best ones available

I am a bit up in the air about the case, again a white case but with a good view inside
White would be the main theme: PSU, Graphics card, cables, Fans, AIO CPU cooler and RAM, etc...

This would be for 4K/8K gaming
Also for video and image editing too
Intel/Nvidia is what I am thinking

I am not really looking for water-cooled as I don't have enough knowledge and experience with them
Any info advice and build suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thank you

£6k!!! Lol....

Bonkers or mad?

Also for video and image editing too

How important is video editing? Are you looking at Threadripper Pro and Xeon W? Because those will happily eat your £6k budget. And does this budget include monitors?

Gaming is more important
but 4K video editing is also something I would like to be able to do

The ram is just a placeholder, you can buy Corsair ram in white, but OCUK don't stock much.

I don't know if that's the best white AIO you can buy, with a 13900K you will need a good one, but it looked like it would match the case aesthetically, so that's why I chose it.

I can't recommend monitors.

There's nothing I would spend the extra 2K on, except for more storage.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Intel Core i9-13900K (Raptor Lake) Socket LGA1700 Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-6AZ-IN) = £548.99
• 1 x MSI MPG Z790 Edge WIFI (LGA 1700) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-36W-MS) = £379.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance 64GB (2X32GB) DDR5 PC5-41600C40 5200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black (CMK64GX5M2B5200C40 (SKU: MY-4DC-CS) = £179.99
• 1 x Asus GeForce RTX 4090 ROG Strix OC White Edition 24GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-48Z-AS) = £2,099.99
• 1 x WD Black SN850X 2TB SSD M.2 2280 NVME PCI-E Gen4 Solid State Drive (WDS200T (SKU: HD-591-WD) = £129.94

• 1 x ASUS ROG THOR 1000W Platinum II Modular Power Supply (SKU: CA-05U-AS) = £314.99

If I was spending that much, I would go Sapphire Rapids:
Intel 16 Core Xeon W5-3435X --> £1760
ASUS Pro WS W790-ACE --> £850
Kingston FURY Renegade Pro XMP 64GB 5600MT/s DDR5 ECC Reg CL36 4*16GB --> £365
Be quiet! Straight Power 12 1500W 80 Plus Platinum ATX 3.0 Power Supply --> £350
E-ATX Case, the board is big. Also, nothing is white

ASUS Pro WS W790-ACE --> £850
Kingston FURY Renegade Pro XMP 64GB 5600MT/s DDR5 ECC Reg CL36 4*16GB --> £365

The OP would be wasting the Xeon with that little RAM; a 7950 or 13900 will be faster for much less money. Only once you get to 256 GB (maybe 128 GB) RAM should you consider Xeon. And 256 GB RAM will cost about £1500.

Dude, 6k budget, room to grow

 

[eddywatson]

I put 6K towards it due to saving up and working hard to treat myself lol

I would want something that would blow me away and wouldn't be out of date within 2 weeks XD
Is the 13900k got enough power for gaming 4K and video/image editing?

 

[Tetras]

Is the 13900k got enough power for gaming 4K and video/image editing?

4K gaming, yes.

Video/image editing. It's one of the highest-end CPUs you can buy, so... yeah, but, for this kind of budget you can buy server/HEDT hardware so it's a relative question, or in other words: what are we comparing it to?

Is the 7950X3D not the better pick for a balance of gaming and video editing? It has 16 proper cores.

 

[Megahurtz400]

I'll let the pros choose the important stuff, but I will be grabbing these bits soon to go with the Aus White 4090 I got recently, I love the NV7 for how open it looks and when filled with the D30 fans it and the Asus in the vertical mount I think it looks amazing!

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Phanteks NV7 D-RGB with Front and Side Glass Panels Full Tower Case - White (SKU: CA-0BR-PT) = £199.99
• 2 x Phanteks D30 Reverse Airflow 120mm DRGB PWM Fan Triple Pack - White (SKU: FG-03J-PT) = £74.99
• 1 x Phanteks D30 Reverse Airflow 120mm DRGB PWM Fan - White (SKU: FG-03G-PT) = £25.99
• 2 x Phanteks D30 120mm DRGB PWM Fan - White (SKU: FG-03C-PT) = £25.99
• 1 x Phanteks Vertical GPU Bracket, 220 mm Flatline PCI-E 4.0 x16 Riser Cable kit, White II (SKU: CA-0BZ-PT) = £69.95
• 1 x Phanteks Glacier One 360D30 White RGB All In One CPU Water Cooler - 360mm (SKU: HS-01S-PT) = £154.99

Total: £664.87 (includes delivery: £11.98)​

[faceman123]

for that money 7950x3D - come next year ( judging by your budget ) you can easily slot in a 24core x3d chip

That’s what I’d get if I was going for a white build, would look v cool. Must resist!

 

[Wing-Man]

I’d get the mini and the 280 cooler but yer..

The o11d looks too big and silly if you ram it full of water.
The o11mini not air. Look very nice, stil as massive air flow.

Also the vertical mount looks better in the o11 range. It not just a plonk in kit and made for the case

Still haven't pulled the trigger, trying to resist as my current Phanteks P600S is perfectly fine, but the temptation is real!

Ha, the struggle is real.

I’m trying to resist upgrading my graphics card before I finally get round to installing a custom water cooled loop. It makes a lot more sense to upgrade it now right?
