Planned PC

[TheBlackRose]

Budget (including currency): 5000 (AUD)

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: everything really i don't have any specific game.

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): I have all peripherals a 1080P 144Hz monitor and a 6tb WD Black for game storage and a 500GB samsung 850 evo for boot and games i want to load faster but I want change to a m.2 for boot.

Hey guys just want a little help with my current list as it's the PC i am planning to upgrade to, I haven't added a GPU as i'm going to be getting a 3080. Just wondering if everything looks good and weather or not i should change any parts around to be more suited. And I know this is a massive overkill for 1080P but i do plan on upgrading the monitor later it's just not as important to me right now.

 

Cheers.

There's lots of ways you could cut the price, but none of these components are bad choices really.

 

If you want to save money, a 10600k or 10700k will perform near identically to the 10900k in games.

 

If you get the 10900k I would suggest checking out this video so you get a motherboard that gives you plenty of headroom if you want to overclock

 

Otherwise looks like an epic build. Enjoy it

Thanks i'll give the video a look.

yeah aside from the mobo as people generally dont have spectacular experiences with those, nothing in your build is objectively bad. ill toss up a few changes id make in a sec

I wouldn't go with a 10900K for gaming unless you don't care about budget at all. The 10600K is extremely close to it in framerates, and you better have  a 144Hz+ monitor to take advantage of the additional performance. Here's some videos with benchmarks to look at.

 

 

Tuning the RAM Speed has a pretty big performance impact, I'd look for RAM with tighter timings if you're going to try and get the best overclocks / performance. Say 3600 C16, which will be a bit more expensive but it is available.

Build looks brill, however, I have one question.

Why go with Intel when Ryzen is soooo much better.

 

I mean, the Ryzen 9 3900x has 2 more cores and 4 extra threads for $200 less

 

And with that RAM, you will notice a performance boost with Ryzen.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong. And yes I know that the boost isn't as high.

ryzen is good but its not better for games. extra cores and threads dont matter, numbers matter. intel is only ahead by a 5-10 percent in high framerate scenarios but its still an advantage. that being said, a quick run down of the facts:

 

is ryzen better bang for the buck? yep.

does ryzen make more sense for most builds with reasonable budgets? yep.

would getting the next tier up in gpu be worth more than getting intel over ryzen? yep.

do ryzen motherboards have nice features (pcie 4.0) and all that for less than comparable z490s? yep.

does intel still have objectively better gaming performance? yep.

Ryzen is not ‘soooo much better’. 
 

To start, this build is for gaming which intel wins at, no question. When a 10600k can beat a 3950x in games it’s kinda embarrassing for AMD. 
 

Along with the above point, Intel is more stable than AMD. Alongside that Intel has a MUCH higher OC headroom than AMD.

fair enough i only picked that motherboard because my original board pcpartpicker was saying there were issues with the case and m.2.

if you dont like the look of the ryujin the nzxt z73 is another premium aio that you might like to fiddle around with. either would look great in the o11d, and the ryujin matching the hero? wew thatd be sick

I checked it out and from what i see that motherboard has the same issue my original board has with it saying the motherboard does not have sufficient USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers for the case, and that the m.2 occupies a sata port which i'm pretty sure doesn't matter since i only have 3 hard drives and the board has 6 sata ports.

yeah i personally dont care about usb headers but there are simple adapters if that matters to ya. and youll have to check the owners manual for which ports are deactivated with m.2 slots occupied, that usually occurs on a lot of boards as theres not actually enough bandwidth/lanes on the chipset and cpu to handle that many devices. it should be a solid setup, super fast stock let alone if you overclock some goodies. the maximus hero is a super kickass board
