New PC Build

[D4RTHK1LLER]

Hi all.

I am looking for some advice on a new build.

I'm in the united kingdom and I am looking at spending around 1000 - 1200 GBP.

 

As of now i am thinking of going with a 5700x paired with a 3070 or 3070ti with 32gb ddr 3600mhz ram.

I would like to know if this will be a good pairing for gaming/streaming at 1080p to 1440p at 120hz plus refreash.

The alternative would be to get the 13400f as it is similar in price.

 

Thank you in advanced for the assistance.

i would get a 5600 instead as for gaming you can't really use those extra cores for gaming

That PSU is less quite bad, and the fans are overpriced for that pricepoint

its not that bad, its what i had to do to fit in a 6800 xt and those fans may be slightly overpriced but look at the cfm vs the arctic p12s, the cfm is much better and IMO they're worth it 

[D4RTHK1LLER]

i see on amazon the 6900xt is only 50 more, should i drop the cpu to a 5600 and get the 6900xt?

if its only 50 more then go for it. But beware that it does draw more power and uk energy prices are going up

The fans are good for the price so are viable. I wouldn't get the 4000d airflow tho and get the h5 flow instead since the fan mounts are pretty flimsy on the 4000d. everything else looks pretty good tho

That is a good option if you play 4K, the 6800XT and the 5600 are a good match for 1440p and higher. But especially if you want to stream i would get a 8 core cpu like the 5700. Bu yea ill see if i can save 50 bucks in my build and fit the 6900XT in there

im personaly gonna go for 6950xt for 1440p, lackluster at 4k tbh

 

(in my eyes anything under 130 fps is non viable)

why would u even begin to recomend a 4070?

[_Omega_]

If your budget its fixed at 1200 that would be the best i can do, yes its a low end board and not the best ssd, but the board did fairly well with a stresstest with an OCed 3950X by hardware unboxed and the the SSD is still fast enugh in my opinion

I was thinking about going with 13500 with 6800XT and stream via QSV instead of NVENC, but it ended up being more expensive. 1197 vs 1224, and thats assuming both at 750W which can be sketchy on full stress load for the 6800XT.

its not a bad gpu for power efficiency, but not as good as the 6800 xt or 6900 xt in performance. Then again we have got raising energy prices in the UK

true that, but i fully believe the 6800xt is capable at 750w psu, i currently use a 6750xt and a 5800x3d, during full load my wattage is at around 550 watt in total, so 200watt left to spare, it should be perfectly fine

 

cpu 100w

gpu 250w (oc)

i have never seen my PC with a 5600 @4.65GHz and 6800XT pull more than 620 Watts (and even the 620  was just for a brief second and maybe a bug of the power meter a typical wattage under full load was 600 W) and a fiend of mine has no problem running his PC with a 6900XT and 3950X with a 700 W PSU

Hi all.

Based on the the above i have come about with this.

This is the case - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B093RYWV4B?tag=pcp0f-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/

 

I think this should be fine.  i am not too worried about ssd speed as anything would be a step up from a xbox one currently.

 

[D4RTHK1LLER]

A further concern would be - does anyone know what bios is shipped on that board? 

As i do not want to have to update the bios

The case might be to small for that GPU it says that it suportts GPUs up to 330 mm the 6900XT MERC is 340 mm

i wouldn't go with that case. Get the deepcool cc560 instead

using bios flashback its pretty easy

Thank you all for the help.

I will be going with the above in a cc560.
