New build . Thoughts ?

[H4NN4BLE]

Budget (including currency): 2300

Country: u.s.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mostly gaming 4k @ 144 hz. Warzone . Battlefield . Elden ring. May do some twitch streaming in the future . Still in the air 

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): 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fpn6pH

 

What do you think? List is up above . My big concerns is overclocking with the gpu . Is it possible ? And the fan configuration. As to run exhaust and draw fans , in what orientation to keep the rig cool . Thanks

Heard the case has dogwater airflow.

Swap to an i5KF. Cheaper and it'll get you better performance.

Don't pay full price for OS. Reseller will have it for around $20 instead of $120.

For 4k performance might be worth waiting for 40 series NVIDIA or 7000 AMD cards.

Right on , thanks man

Going by the above parts pretty much, I'd pick these:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2zL92m

SSD is pretty much the best you can buy for the cash as well, newer Phison 196-layer stuff. Ditched the crap Corsair fans for P12s with RGB since you seem to want RGB. Went with the 3070 because I don't think the price hike is worth over it towards the higher end NV cards.

Picked NV because Warzone only supports DLSS, no FSR 2.0. You should be able to get things going using it since I can maintain 100+ FPS with my overclocked 3060 Ti down 3440x1440. If it comes up short, stick with it and sell the card right before the release of the new cards. You should be able to find a buyer and buy a new gen card with the leftover cash.

I would go with a PCIe 4 SSD. In some games it does make a big difference and well worth the extra money.

 

The case is not a good design for a 3080 ti. I would go with a case that has intake below the GPU. I like Lian Li o11 dynamic.

 

For cooling a 5800x I would use a D-15s or a 360mm AIO. Mine was on a 360mm AIO and it idled in the low 30s and gamed in the 50 and 60s. 

[PDifolco]

If you have some room on budget you could go for a 5800X3D, but it needs more cooling

And a better case

Thanks mam! That's the kind of list I'm looking for ! The big problem here is.  The items have already shipped . Can I make this work with the case ? Most people are saying the gt501 has bad airflow.. that's why I went with air cooling,  so I can have the cpu cover exhaust out the back . And put 3 fans on top with no radiator .

That PC is overpriced to hell and forth. The only part I'd buy, and in fact did out of it, is the Liquid Freezer 360. Other than that, it asks close to 200 for a base B550 board.

The board from what I can tell was one that didn't need a bios update . That was my only logic for getting it . The rest of it . Price is bad but is the pc functional ? Am I bottlenecking with certain parts ? Thanks

Thank you, the case hasn't actually shipped yet I can return it . I think that was my biggest hiccup.  But it didn't require any header adaptors . The rest I came across that I liked did  

[Motifator]

PCPP is wrong for the most part, you don't require a BIOS update with most modern B550 boards and the 5800. But like, why bother with the 5800 when you can get the 12600? That and the paying a grand for a 3080 Ti - all those are just murdering your budget when better cards and CPUs are on the way.

Mostly just my brother is teak rizen . He pointed me that way.  I was originally going to go with an 1-7 . But I'll try rizen for now . It was 300$ which isn't bad imo . The 3080 ti was a bad deal. Especially when on new egg I saw a 3090 for 1k the day after my part shipped.

should be overclockable

yaaa gotcha. pretty much any amd cpu can overclock, and any intel with a k can overclock. i think one of the only amd cpus that cannot overclock is the amd ryzen 5 5500x3d, but its so powerful it doesnt really need it.

Right.  Yeah apart from possibly restricted airflow and premium pricing . I got a feeling the build will work well.  And at that I will have 7 fans in that case . Hopefully keeps it all cool

The i5 won't give better performance as he is gaming at 4K. Sure the i5 is cheaper, but so is an R5 5600.

Good thing I didn't say that and only say he should wait for 40/7000 series cards to release to see 4k fps improvement.

The 5800X3D is only worth it for 1080p/1440p.

He won't see any fps improvement though with the cpu. As for waiting for the new gpu's that is up to the op.

Yes he won't, that's why for 4k I suggested he waits for new gen of cards, otherwise a 3080ti is a fair pick if he wants to build the system now. As for the 12600KF, that CPU, cooler and motherboard setup is still cheaper and will run better than his original 5800X, U12 pick.

Yeah I'm way too impatient to wait haha . And I make decent money . I figured in a couple years . If what I have is outdated , or can't keep up with the gen. I'll upgrade and gift this stuff to a sibling .

It didn't sound like it to me.

 

You said:

As for the cheaper argument, a R5 5600 and B550 is still cheaper than your suggestion.

Thank you for the input . I was originally going to go Intel.  But I have a brother who is team amd all the way . Plus it has a lower op Temp than intels compatible models. Since airflow is a concern in this case . It's smarter for me to run something that will stay cooler

Thank you.  I'll definitely swap the ssd . As for the gpu . Unfortunately it's already shipped . Would be a big hassle to return it and order a different one I'm afraid . Even funnier is 3090's are showing up between 1000 and 1300 lol .a day after I buy this one
