Get cheaper RAM (set RGB to white if you want white ) and 7950X instead. Also not sure why you went with a Corsair AIO, everyone seems to universally hate their software for RGB and the performance is still a 360 rad, for more money.

Managed to bump performance in the same budget.

you might want to go for a better mobo and your gpu is limited to display port 1.4 meaning only 4k 60. i would go for a rx 7000 card with dp 2.1

Mobo is overkill. AMD mobos have been crazy overbuilt this gen. Also DP 1.4 is 4K144Hz. DP2.1 monitors don't exist yet, so how could he have it if DP 1.4 didn't support it?

The real issue we have here is the upload, unless you go with an altnet, as it's limited to 100mbps (or 200mbps if you're a business) on gigabit plans despite being FTTP.

 

Or, if you're unfortunate enough to be with Virgin Media (like me), then even if you go for their gigabit plan, the upload is 50mbps!

Weird. It's like they're not actually using the capabilities fiber.

That's just from downloading the new COD I assume? 

 

I've just had a free speed boost from 225/20 to 275/25 and honestly I wouldn't even notice.

For work I have to download files from the likes of IONOS cloud and Microsoft, and they usually cap out at around 20mbps anyway!

Our largest ISP just bumped all speeds for no extra cost. 100 > 250, 300 > 500, and they made the gigabit plan cheaper (I guess for existing customers, it will only apply after their contract expires) and then introduced 2 gigabit plan on top of that. And obviously they are all symmetrical. https://www.telia.lt/privatiems/internetas?24-men-sutartis

I decided not to pay extra for the Gigabit as it's frankly pointless, most services that I use literally can't take advantage of the faster speeds!

Yeah I have a small ISP, so it's not real gigabit. I share gigabit with 9 apartments in my building and we all get guaranteed 100Mbit, but it never actually goes that low for one individual user. Like in peak use times I've seen it go as low as 300. Normally get around 500-900. And obviously the upload is basically always near gigabit, because no one uploads anything. 

I would go for the Keychron, most people say they are pretty good and I doubt the Logitech can be 2 times better, if it is at all. 

They're not exactly hard to find, they are called multiviewers. Very expensive, if you want to watch 4K 60hz. What exactly do you need help with?

Idk, could bias to Nvidia 4090 leave them running less games on 8k 60fps?

Is the CPU good/bad?

 

There are couple questions.

AMD said 7900XTX competes with 4080, not 4090 so that's pretty much settled.

And 7950X is about as good as it gets for a CPU at the moment. 

So that's that.

Yes, I think the cap was 250GB and if you exceeded that it was an extra $50.  So if I had to pay an extra $50 bucks for internet, I am going to use as much as that valuable but suddenly unlimited internet to the MAX.

That alone is more than I pay for gigabit fiber, tv and my mobile plan with unlimited data. In 2022.

Time to translate this mess

Yeah I mean I kind of got most of it, but it looks like they know everything they want so what is even the real question there. Just build a suggestion build and then get criticized for making the wrong choices?

You're in the extreme fringe.  1TB limit is actually fairly common, and even though Cox has that on my service, I rarely exceed 350GB.

Interesting, over here data caps are only for mobile data. 

But then also the caps don't make sense, if the average user doesn't exceed the cap then why implement the cap to hurt a minority of users, it's not like it's going to help you much.

When data caps first came out it was a couple hundred GB per month, and my ISP carged a flat fee for exceeding that, so I made sure to exceed it as much as possible.  seed those linux ISOs to F the ISP man.

You paid money to F the ISP man?  oh nvm you mean one payment for exceeding.

I can't imagine living with a 1TB limit, but I guess for "mobile" internet it's pretty good. Personally I go over 2TB every month.

So why does OP's M.2 Example Drive 3 have speeds below maxed Sata III?

Well I don't know what drive he chose as an example, but usually cheaper drives have lower write speeds. Probably some kind of cheap controller bottleneck.

But it is release 10 years ago. probably brought quite a while back as well just in storage and sealed. This won't affect the PSU in any cases like it dying right after i turn it on?

It shouldn't. Capacitors usually stay good for a long time, if storage conditions were good. 

I don't know how much of a rush you're in to do this, but it would be much easier to buy a USB to SATA adapter and not have to swap out drives, just download cloning software and do it like that. USB to SATA adapters are pretty nice to have since later you can use your old SSDs as external drives. 

what

It is a very good PSU, but age is definitely a factor when it comes to power supplies. 90 usd is a reasonable price though, even if it dies after a couple of years wouldn't be a major loss. Not saying it's guaranteed to die, it could outlive us all. 

Don't like the PSU, it's multi-rail, old. CPU cooling is way overkill for a 7700X you could just get a medium to large sized air cooler and have less noise and less things that can break. RAM is overpriced too.

GPU is like the last place you want to save money. Otherwise the build looks good to me. Could maybe check for 6650XT, since they are pretty close in price these days. 

You could write to and ask Silverstone when RM44 is coming out. https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/RM44/ Pretty much fits your every requirement and they have an Amazon.de store, cheap shipping.

Already in stock on Alternade.de https://www.alternate.de/SilverStone/SST-RM44-Rack-Server-Gehäuse/html/product/1873007

M.2 will be noticeable over SATA SSD. But a maxed out PCIe Gen3 drive is about as much as any application/game can use at the moment (3500MB/s). 

Each M.2 drive is different, different flash, different controllers, some have DRAM, others do not. You should look at reviews, or just buy already popular/well known models, they are usually not that much more expensive, if at all.

gaming and music mostly 

probably no more than $300 aud

Really hard to find something that does both all that well tbh. Gaming headphones don't usually have the most accurate sound and they are often closed, so sweat can be an issue. Wireless "music" headphones that aren't gaming usually have very high latency, like to the point that some of them you can't even watch videos without noticing lip sync issues, even worse in games.

For gaming headphones I usually recommend people HyperX Cloud 2 Wireless. Because they are relatively cheap and built like absolute tanks, while also having low latency and pretty good sound. 

Use case, budget? 

There is only one in your budget on that page. https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/PSUDPC11850/DEEPCOOL-PQ850M-850W-80Plus-Gold-Full-Modular-PSU 

10 year warranty, can't really go wrong with it. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/deepcool-pq850m-power-supply-review Based on Seasonic Focus, good.

RX 6600 is waaaay better.

I have a very smart car charger. It detects if its charging a 6 volt or 12 volt battery and it has a frost mode and it can trickle charge the battery when its full to keep it at max charge. Its fully automatic. The charger doesnt speak to the car at all, the battery can be inside the shed and be charged without being connected to the car itself too.

Yeah well, that's a car battery charger, I was talking about electric car chargers mostly. But those features aren't all that spectacular, the charging itself is dumb anyway, gel/acid batteries just feed a set voltage to the battery until it doesn't take any more amps. Detection between 6 and 12 is pretty standard and trickle charge is essentially built into the battery chemistry itself, it just doesn't take more charge.
