Hey everyone so I’m building my first « real » pc why real? Because my first pc was when I asked a friend to build everything for me but it was 5 years ago and I need a new one. This would be the one I’m getting but I don’t know their might be things I should add/replace or things that are not compatible I would gladly take all of your comments into consideration! <3 https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/jfyPzN

Its a great high end gaming/workstation PC.

 

One thing I'm against is water coolers. There are so many things that can go wrong. Leakage, pump failure, pump noise, coolant evaporation. Personally I would go for high end air cooler. But that is up to you whether you want water or air.

 

 

Everything else looks great.

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

Weird.  I’m looking at a ryzen 2600 build with a 590.  I think we got different build lists.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

At that price point you cannot really improve on much.

 

I would still get an EVGA card over Asus just because easier RMA in case something goes wrong (I also think EVGA looks better, but that's subjective and it's not really the point here). I noticed there are some that are even slightly cheaper than the one you chose.

 

If you are spending that much money I would throw in an additional 1TB SATA SSD. 500GB are going to fill up fast with the OS on it.

CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Black Mobo: Gigabyte X870E Aorus Pro GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ 9070 XT RAM: G.Skill 2x16GB @ 6400 MHz SSD: PNY XLR8 2TB PSU: Corsair RM1000x Case: Fractal Design North Monitor 1: Asus XG27AQWMG(280Hz) Monitor 2: Asus VG259QM (240Hz)

I usually edit my posts immediately after posting them, as I don't check for typos before pressing the shiny SUBMIT button.

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600 Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S Mobo: Asus B650E-i RAM: Kingston Server Premier ECC 2x32GB (DDR5) SSD: Samsung 980 2x1TB HDD: Toshiba MG09 1x18TB; Toshiba MG08 2x16TB HDD Controller: LSI 9207-8i PSU: Corsair SF750 Case: Node 304

With the AIO watercooler that’s going to be 5 fans.  Lot of fans.  I’m an air over AIO when possible kind of person and I think it would likely be more quiet with a noctua DH15 instead.  People pushing AIO never talk about the bubble problem.  I’ve never not had the bubble problem myself.

 

Its sort of a value judgement option.  One is big and ugly and quiet and long lasting and more work to put in and less work to take care of.  The other is the opposite.  It depends on what you want.  They both cool about the same.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Hey there, I'm new to the forum and plan on building my first PC later this year but in the mean time I've been considering getting a m.2 gen 3 for my current desktop. I'm having trouble find the answer but would either of you know if I could use a Gen 3 m.2 in a Gen 4 slot later when I do my first build, or if I decided to get a Gen 4 m.2 now would work with current board? I figure the read/write speeds would vary depending on what Gen m.2 ssd and what gen slot is plugged into but if they are forwards and backwards compatible that would be nice to know. I appreciate your time if you're able to help answer this for me.

I have a HP Phoenix Envy and I'm pretty sure the board is a HP Thimphu Z170 PAV board if that helps.

This probably wants it’s own thread.
That said,  Pcie4.0 is backward compatible with pcie3.0, and m.2 is basically 4 lanes of pcie.  So yes.  You should be able to use a pcie4.0 m.2 card on a pcie3.0 motherboard, and then move it later.

Thank you, and sorry I tried to search for a specific thread and this what the first that I saw any mention. Ill make sure to do a more aggressive search next time.

You can also just make your own and ask.  I don’t think you’ll have a problem though.  Going to pcie4.0 probably won’t even make the drive faster unless it’s a very fast drive to begin with and then only a bit.  The very  fastest of  M.2 SSDs can benefit from pcie4 but only some.  Sticking a pcie4 drive in a pcie3 slot just makes it automatically run as pcie3
