Thoughts On My New Build?

[Terry92g]

Budget (including currency): 2600

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming and Streaming

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/Pfw3qm

 

The Hellhound Spectral Radeon RX 7900 xtx is a little over 1k at my local microcenter. How can I improve this build?

Looks solid to me.

 

I have built in both the Corsair 4000D and 5000D.  If you have the budget and the space I would suggest the larger of the two.

 

In addition,  you may want to add some additional case fans.  The Corsair cases on come with one front and rear.  

 

You may be able to find a PCIE 4.0 drive for not much more money.

 

 

[Why_Me]

Faster RAM, better SSD, case with better airflow (you can turn off the RGB) and save a few dollars on the motherboard.

I already have the case, as it was given as a gift last Christmas. I'm also getting 3 Corsair AF140 Elite for the case as well. Forgot to add them on the list. I'll do more research on the drive. Thank you!

I've had bad experiences with MSI and the Case I already have as a gift. I will look do more research on everything else you suggest. Thank you!

Kept the case then, and went with NZXT for the motherboard.

Current gen Ryzen is very sensitive to CAS latency, I'd look for something more like CL30. DDR5-6000.

Nvidia's built in encoders provide a pretty big advantage in streaming, so if you're planning on streaming a lot a 4080 might be better for your needs.
