Yet another build help thread

[JustTheTip]

Budget (including currency): £2000 ish

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, CAD, Trading

 

 

So the time has come for an upgrade my 7 year old gaming PC has served its time, although its still going strong, its age is now showing more everyday. Currently this is roughly the parts list I am looking at 

 

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x

Cooler: Noctua NH-D15

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO SL Black 32GB 3600MHz

Mobo: Gigabyte AMD B550 AORUS PRO AC

GPU: RTX 3080 FE (when I can get hold of one)

SSD: Sabrent 1TB Rocket

PSU: Corsair RM850x

Case: be quiet! Silent base 802

 

My only concerns with my build right now are my choice of mobo and PSU, as far as I can tell the rest is all solid. I was unsure whether to splash out and go for an X570 board as I know its got far more extensive PCIe 4.0 support but as far as I know thats all I would gain, or have I missed something. As for PSU choice I am using an RM750x in my current build and its been solid as a rock, I'd have gone for a higher wattage but getting hold of good high wattage PSU's is near impossible right now, I saw that corsair had released the RM850 2020 edition, it was cheaper but I wasnt sure if I should go for that as the original RM series wasnt liked much as far as I know.

 

Oh and I am also aiming for a black and silver/white build style.

 

Any thought or criticisms welcome, I'd like to get this build right,

 

Thanks everyone!

the board and psu seem fine unless there's a specific reason you need pci-e 4.0 support.

Your current list isn’t that bad tbh.

B550 has PCIE GEN 4 support (less, but you can still add a Gen 4 drive in there)  

 

Your current case choice is pretty good, although there are better cheaper options, but overall everything you picked here works pretty well.

I would get a 5900x. Think of it this way, if the 5900x makes you keep the cpu for 5 years instead of 4, by have 12 cores instead of 8, it makes up its value on a per year basis and you get a nicer cpu today.

NH-D15 and Vengeance Pro memory modules are a su-optimal pairing. Outer fan of the cooler overhangs memory area. The normal mounting position provides 32mm clearance for memory. It is possible to adjust the fan position provided sufficient case clearance.

 

Consider an NH-D15S or NH-U12A cooler instead. The other option would be Vengeance LPX memory modules.

 

You did not provide memory configuration or timings.

Thats a good shout, I'll swap to the NH-D15S based on that, thanks!

 

As for the memory its a 4x8GB kit with CAS Timings of 18-22-22-42

I would but both the lack of availability and cost of the 5900x was a put off for me

Just went by the old Gamers Nexus case reviews, I was gonna get the Lian Li O11 Dynamic but I think I'd be dead of old age before one comes back in stock
