Need some

[Skeith_]

Budget (including currency): 3000$

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming.

Other details: I will carry over my Asus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti GPU, my Aorus ad27qd monitor and my peripherals.

 

Hello, I haven't built a new rig in quite a long while (minus upgrading here and there), so I need some pointers in case I've been missing anything.

I already have the monitor, GPU, etc.

I also bought 2 sets of Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 (so 32 GB total).

 

What I've been thinking of buying -

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 3.5 GHz

Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler

Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard

Corsair 750D ATX Full Tower Case

 

I know that it may be a bit of an overkill, but It'd really like doing it.
If anyone has any suggestions, feedback or if there's an compatibility issue that I'm not seeing I'd love to hear.

I've also been thinking of changing the Noctua to water cooling, but I've never installed one and I'm not confident enough about my skill to try yet.

Noctua is usually better than AIO liquid coolers, so i would stick with that. If you want better performance then you would have to do a custom loop, but that requires maintenance etc, so Noctua is certainly the easier and more reliable option.

Thanks, I'll stick with that then.

What country and currency?

I'm from Israel. Some parts I'll be from Amazon though, so I've put USD in the price tag

I would get a 3700X instead of the 3950X, yes it’s less cores but there’s hardly any benefit in getting the 3950X. But the price difference definitely makes it worth it.
