Need advice for new PC

[QuickstarFTW]

Budget (including currency): 4000 Euro

Country: Belgium

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Building a new computer to play games with high graphics, need help with choosing the correct motherboard. Anything else you would change?

Pretty much a value oriented build

 

12700k cause 12900k has an insane markup over 12700k and all you are getting is just an extra 4 efficiency cores

 

Cheapest wifi board i could find cause i dont really expect any overclocking, same goes for cooler. If you do overclock then the board is still fine but you def wanna upgrade cooler

 

Rams are 3200 cl16 cause 3600 cl18 is like 137 for the cheapest stuff, just overclock 3200 to 3600, the micron ram dies should help

 

Case is somewhat rgb and tried to be cheap there but its really the cheapest i could find that isnt shoddy quality

 

3090 will easily fit but i suggest a 3080 cause you wont really see much use out of the 3090 unless you intend to do extremely vram intensive stuff like 8k gaming, plus gpus get outdated fast so best go for high end or midrange instead of top tier

I would suggest this video:

TL:DR more or less all motherboards are overkill in terms of VRM and so on, as such it depends on which feature set you want (slots, ports, that sort of thing). And this would vary user to user.

 

Your build seems ok, maybe try to find a 3600 CL16 memory and go with the gen 4 SSD if you are doing the whole pedal to the metal no compromises.

Do you maybe have a recommendation for AIO loops instead of air cooling?

Assume be.pcpp (PCPP for Belgium) has the right prices,

Changed the motherboard since the MSI board is EUR 100 cheaper and only loses the onboard LEDs and some rear I/O USBs dropped to USB 2.0. It has more RGB headers, more M.2 slots and some USB 3.0 front panel headers if you want those.

 

You only need to choose 1 out of 3 memory kits. To squeeze the most out of the CPU while using DDR4 there are the 2 Gskill kits, the 3600 CL16 one is made with Samsung B-die and are very overclockable while the 4000 CL18 one isn't as good but it runs faster if you just apply XMP and do not tune it yourself. Crucial 3200 CL16 kit is also overclockable but not as good as the Gskill 3600 CL16 and no RGB LEDs. Crucial's RGB offerings are too expensive for what they offer so I dont recommend them.

 

970 Evo Plus 2TB is just a few cents more than the 660p 2TB, no reason to get the clearly inferior SSD when the price gap is this small. Couldnt find better value SSDs that hit PCIe 3.0 x4 bandwidth cap either. Idk maybe ditch the 1TB altogether and go for 2 2TB instead.

 

4000D comes with 2 black fans without RGB LEDs while it still has room for 3 excluding the AIO. To go full RGB bling there's the set of 3 ML120 RGB (same as those on the AIO), otherwise you could use the 2 stock fans and an Arctic 120mm which is cheap but no worse than the ML120 RGB on your cooler performance wise.
