Spec Me An AMD/Nvidia Full ATX Build Air Cooled

[Ad_Augendae]

Need a full atx air cooled build with amd cpu and nvidia gpu and good vrm's, don't want to overclock I just need rock solid stability and a decent psu mem and gpu with 1TB boot & 2TB NVMe games drive version 4.0 minimum. Buget is around £1,500 or thereabouts. Games that are of interest are Final Fantasy 14 upwards. If that means Intel, so be it. I have Windows 10 Pro so should be ok there.

Many thanks.

Solid choice thanks, what case would be best for this build airflow wise, it's going to be stuffed under a desk with plenty of airflow back to front.

Thanks I'm just watching this as we speak, I just need air movement not flex and lights.

Thats a nice case but I only have 245mm width to play with.

Key Specs

Enclosure Type	Mid-Tower

Yeah It's either that or the MSI, seeing the reviews the Lian Li seems as good a choice to suit the Width being taller.

Many thanks mickyflinn will consider the options, thank you so much for your input.

 

[Ad_Augendae]

Thanks for your input Craig_d1 another solid choice, I'm still looking at cases. The lian Li's appear to have a vent for the psu at the side, the 207 is slightly slimmer with the psu mounted up front. 1440p mostly Windowed Mode. Moving from gen1 ryzen with 1080 so either of those choices would be great.

Which extra 2TB drive would you buy for the following.

OcUK Gaming Mach 3 - Ryzen 5700X3D, RTX 4070 Super Pre-Built Gaming PC

Order OcUK Gaming Mach 3 - Ryzen 5700X3D, RTX 4070 Super Pre-Built Gaming PC now online and benefit from fast delivery.

As far as I can see it allows for 1x gen 4 and 1x gen 3, also are Overclockers ok with chucking your own extra drive into a pre-built.

you're buying an am4 platform though. eol with no upgrade path...the am5 7600 cpu will perform on av slightly ahead of the 5700x3d. i peersonally wouldn't buy am4 new now(only 2nd hand for budget build)...too old, and I have an am4 build at home. As well as an am5. i advise against am4

Ok understood, so which pre-built would you go for instead ?

 

[Ad_Augendae]

Thank you both, PC chose and on it's way, something got lost in translation re the case&cooler combo, but it's all good.
Craig, thanks again for your help very late into the evening trying to unscramble my lack of knowledge of the newest tech these days.
Will have to wait and see what PSU they provide!

The Motherboard is an Asus B650 Plus WiFi, best guess on the PSU is Aerocool Integrator Gold 850W 80 Plus Gold
PSU Sticker: SNGIM85FKC3470413
Made a couple of slight mistakes, the main boot drive was supposed to be 1TB SN850X which turned into an SN770. We did ask for a change but they said it was to late even though it wasn't delivered until the end of said week. And the case, no idea what happened with that. So yeah about £300 for the build vs build your own
He's happy so far so all good and thanks again all for the spec help.

I did have one other question though, which port do I use to backup the OCUK Bios settings to usb stick, the one marked flashback ?

Cheers, I did try from the front header with a couple of sticks but nothing showed up hence the question. Will try the others though.
