Hi all
Just to give some Background… !
Previous build was a 12400F & RX6600, this was short lived due to lack of time so I decided to sell up and switch to a Series X.
I believe and hope to have more time to game therefore I am wanting to build a AM5 System paired with an AMD GPU.
Already Purchased
GPU = Sapphire 7800XT Nitro+ (Paid £402)
Storage = Western Digital 850X NVME Gen4 1TB (£79.99)
Ram = DDR5 Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 (CL36) (£94.99)
Leaving a Requirement of Case, CPU, PSU, CPU Cooler, Motherboard…
I have come up with the below and welcome any opinions, suggestions or any comparability issues to be discussed helping me along with my purchase as I’m only in the loop to the extent of very recent research.
My basket at OcUK:
Undecided / Un-sure on the following...
PSU - I decided 850W incase down the line I upgrade CPU and GPU which should give me enough headroom to run a relatively high end GPU. This PSU states ATX 3.0 and PCIE5 So I assume this will have all the required connections I need now and for any potential realistic given the 850 Wattage for future CPU / GPU Upgrades?
Case
(Not wanting something small but neither too big, have always opted for a Corsair 4000D and been pleased with the size)
Antec C3 ARGB is what I have narrowed it down to as it can house a 360 AIO in the top and comes with a generous amount of pre-installed fans but are there any other cases I should consider? AIO would most likely be an Antec Vortex 360 to fit in with the aesthetics If I go with this case.
Will the GPU and PSU fit the C3 without issue?
Any input on the back of my rambles would be highly appreciated![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/smile.gif)

My basket at OcUK:
- 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Eight Core 5.00GHz (Socket AM5) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3DT-AM) = £329.99
- 1 x AMD Ryzen - Space Marine & Unknown 9 Awakening Games Bundle (SKU: DIG-AMD-02908) = £0.00
- 1 x Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus (Socket AM5) DDR5 ATX Motherboard (SKU: MB-6K1-AS) = £169.99
- 1 x MSI MAG A850GL 850W 80 Plus Gold ATX 3.0 PCIE5Modular Power Supply (SKU: CA-012-MS) = £89.99
- 1 x Antec C3 ARGB Midi Tower - Black (SKU: CAS-ATC-02727) = £79.99
- 1 x Arctic Liquid Freezer III ARGB High Performance CPU Water Cooler - 360mm (SKU: COO-ARC-01992) = £89.99
Total: £759.95 (includes delivery: £0.00)
I am tempted to do it "Cheaper" with a 7600 for £177 or 7600X for £188 mainly to cut costs but still allow me to game at 1080P / 1440P with High-ish settings for a couple of years.
