Upgrading to 4090/7800X3D

[Wizzleteeth]

I have been lucky enough to come in to a bit of money and after a lot of deliberation i've decided to upgrade for the last time in hopefully a very long time. I have my eyes on a 4090 and 7800X3D as i already have a 4k/144Hz monitor (Acer Nitro XV3) and will be using my rig solely for gaming plus YouTube/Spotify.

I normally only keep up to speed with current gen GPU performance but i don't have much of a clue about CPU's/MOBO's, RAM etc.

The parts i'll be keeping from my current rig are:

Corsair Carbide 275R case
Samsung 860 Evo 2TB SSD
6 x Corsair ML120 RGB fans
Dark Rock Pro 4 air cooler

I think my basket is looking ok but i am open to suggestions. Cannot decide on a mobo at all as i'm unsure if it's worth getting an X670E for futureproofing even if i don't need the features right now or should be happy enough to get a B650E.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Asus ROG Strix 1000W Gold Aura Edition Modular 80+ Gold ATX 3.0 PCIe Gen 5.0 Power Supply (SKU: CA-068-AS) = £209.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core 5.00GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DT-AM) = £389.99
• 1 x Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 PC5-48000C30 6000MHz Dual Channel (SKU: MEM-CRS-01124) = £134.98
• 1 x Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 WindForce 24GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-1FB-GI) = £1,790.00

Total: £2,524.96 (includes delivery: £0.00)​

Any advice is hugely appreciated as it is a lot of money to spend just to end up with the unoptimal parts!

Do you want 10 Gb ethernet?

No i'll not be able to make use of that.

I would also be waiting for the Super's to launch as £1800 on a graphics card is insane let alone one which may not be as good as a new one that is going to be much cheaper. You could easily save £40-50 on the psu by going for a different brand that is just as good. RGB on the psu is pointless especially when it's going in a case where you can't see it.

Ah good point about the PSU i'll look for another one. I read that some PSU's come with a specific connector for the 4090? Is that due to all the ones that went up in flames?

You are probably right about the 4080 supers, might be worth biding my time and seeing how they perform. Are the rumours about a 4090 super still just rumours at the moment?
