Budget (including currency): £1800

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: COD, League Of Legends, CS GO

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

Just after some advice, if at all feasible. Trying to understand if anyone has anything similar or understands whether I'm going to have any clearance or fitment issues with the attached spec?

 

 

 

Thanks!

ryzen 9 3900x perform identically with 9900k. but it has 4 more cores and 8 more threads.

that cpu cooler will be good enough for that cpu, same with the motherboard.

for gaming 16gigs of ram is good.

with the savings from cpu you can afford rtx 2080 super.

better airflow case.

no need ofr that high wattage. that system consumes under 450w anyway on 100% stress (harddrivers, cpu, case fans, gpu, ram)

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

I doubt it.  Clearance and fit Kent usually have to do with air coolers which you don’t have.  There is only one place to put the radiator which is in front though.

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.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

For that amount of money you can get a RTX 2080 Super :)

To be honest I didn't plan on keeping that graphics card past the end of the year, ideally I want the 2080 Ti. Is there much of a difference between the 3900x and the i9? 

 

I'll be playing it on a 4K 100Hz TV for the meantime! 🙈

for that you need a gpu with hdmi 2.1 so you should wait for next gen graphics this september

since the tvs don't have a display port

What should I expect to see in terms of performance from this card in that case?

 

Thanks!

You will be fine with a 3700X. No need to spend extra on a 3900X if you are just gaming. Even the 6 core R5 3600 is good enough for a gaming pc. You can always upgrade later on.

 

I would hang on a few weeks for B550 as you will have a lot more choice for boards then.
