Hi folks, 

 

a friend of mine recommended this forum, saying that i'll get most reliable opinions here.

Posting a partpicker list below. I'm located in Denmark and my PC will be mostly running World of warcraft, but i may occasionally try some other stuff. One monitor, which is on the list.

Power supply I picked is Chieftec Photon Gold Series Strømforsyning - 650 Watt - 140 mm - 80 Plus, which i couldn't find on partpicker.

TIA for help.

I would go with decent B450 board instead of low X570. MSI B540 Tomahawk or Pro Carbon.

 

Why do you need a liquid cooler for mid range CPU? Decent mid range air cooler will fully support high overclock on this CPU.

 

Very overpriced NVME SSD. For that price you can get 1TB Sata SSD.

 

Terrible PSU. Get higher quality unit if you don't want burn your house down. Tier A or Tier B 

 

Everything else looks ok.

 

EDIT: Welcome to LTT Forum.

 

Main system: Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus / G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO 32GB 6000Mhz / Zotac RTX 5090 SOLID OC/ x2 WD_BLACK NS770 2TBs/ Corsair HX1000i/ NZXT H5 Flow

You mean Chieftec is crap in general? Like i said below the list i found another chieftec which partpicker didn't have.

About ssd, i see Samsung is fastest of all others, pls explain me the odds then.

Originally i was looking at b450, but it came out with compatibility error.

Water cooling for looks and silence, couldn't help it :)

You won't see the difference between this NVMe and a SATA SSD for playing so yes it's overpriced for your use.

As is the watercooling for a 3600 which won't be more silent than a good air cooler usually they are even noisier.

B450 Tomahawk or A-PRO allows for a flash bios to handle Zen2 CPU's.

Chieftec is unknown to me so i'd recommend a Corsair TXM or CXM (I see only Corsair products available in Denmark via PCP).

No need for a liquid cooler on that cpu at all. If you want rgb just get some rgb fans and a good air cooler for the price of that liquid cooler.

Overpriced ssd. Yes it's faster but that won't matter at all if all you do is gaming as your computer can only benefit so much from a faster ssd. A normal sata ssd is more than enough and you can easily get double the capacity of you go with a sata one.

Terrible psu I recommend you look up the psu tier list on the forum here and get a good unit that won't kill your system (550w or up is more than plenty)

So would you be so kind and come up with cooling and ssd replacement? 

I think you already realized i'm total noob about it, therefore i need to know how does flash bios? I'm gonna assemble it all together alone, what do i have to do with bios?

I would do something like that and if I'm not mistaken the MAX version of that motherboard has its bios already updated for Zen2.

 

Although there is everything sold out it seems.

Eh, not bad but as others have said, swap the SSD for a 1TB SATA, and I'd skip the AIO and just grab an air cooler.

Avoid that PSU at all costs. Never cheap out on the PSU.

Personally I wouldn't get an MSI motherboard, I've had nothing but problems with mine, but each to their own.

Alright guys, 

Thanx a lot for your input, I got my rig assembled, followed all your suggestions. I have ghost recon breakpoint with it, runs flawlessly on ultra settings, so I'm actually Mega satisfied.

 

Now, could you please recommend me a good chair?  I have lower back disc problem, but I love gaming, do having that in mind, could you recommend something?
