Planning new enthusiast build that lasts for 5 years

[Blizzforte]

This is what I've currently in mind:

 

Corsair Obsidian 1000D Super Tower Case

ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO 

Intel Core i9-13900K CPU

Kingston FURY Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz 64GB

WD Black SN850X Heatsink NVMe SSD 2TB

 

This is all I've researched right now. I have never build a PC on my own and I have no idea about cooling solutions and how to install them at all. I just picked these parts because I've read that these are the best of the best right now so that my PC will last for about 5 years and make it worth the money spend. The case is very big but that will make it easiert for me to try out building the system inside. Also, I'll be able to keep the case for 10 years and not worry about space or other cases ever, maybe. 

 

Please tell me what I should change and add so that this system is complete. Any tips are appreciated.

I think you will want to add a power supply

[jaslion]

Budget?

 

Usecase?

 

What screen do you have if it's for gaming?

 

 

I mean like you just picked the most expensive parts.

 

That motherboard is NOT better than a regular 200€ board.

Neither is the case. Actually that case is too big for it's own good really and just get a normal tower case.

 

Normally we don't recommend top spec as it's cheaper and better to just get a big cheaper gpu and then upgrade it in a couple years. Meaning lower price and better performance over time.

 

As for the rest. That cpu will NEVER be utilized much more than half for games. A 13600k is plenty hell amd is right there with the current BEST gaming cpu the 7800x3d.

 

Ssd same thing. Overkill and we still are at the point where the difference between a sata drive or fastest pcie 5.0 drive is minimal to not there.

That'll be one giant system. Corsair 1000D cases are not small, lol. That's entirely personal preference though, if you want a ginormous case, there it is.

 

From your list - I would probably aim for a cheaper motherboard. Those premium boards don't add much in the way of 'extra performance' over a cheaper board - just more bells and whistles. It sounds like you just want the best so I'm not going to steer you away from the i9/4090 combo.

 

For a power supply, I would probably look towards something like a Corsair RM1000e for a PSU (they're ATX 3.0 compat so you won't need to use the stupid dongle for your graphics card). Don't skimp on this.

 

Cooler, there's so many options out there. A list of good coolers are listed here, any in the first few tiers should be good. They'll have instructions on how to install. If you just want a choice picked, either go Dark Rock Pro 4 or Noctua D14/D15 for air, or a Corsair or Arctic Liquid Freezer II for liquid.

 

What screen are you using/thinking of getting?

Thank you. As for the screen, the Asus ROG Swift PG42UQ. 

I'm very intimidated by that huge selection of PSU's and cooling options. How to even decide on one if there are so many from so many brands. And they look complicated to install.

Need to know your budget, what country you are located, what will be the primary uses of your PC and if it includes gaming then we need to know your monitor resolution or if a monitor is to be included in the budget.

I would run that build like this.  Easier case to build with, PCIe 5.0 psu and a locked cpu so it isn't cooking your VRM's.

Thank you for this list. If I buy the Gigabyte C301 GLASS ATX Mid Tower Case or the Corsair Obsidian 1000D Super Tower Case, will every cooling system I pick fit inside? What about fans? I've seen some being called AIO. Does that mean I only pick that with AIO and don't need any other fans extra?

Both Cooling options will work, CPU Air Tower Cooling or AIO Water Cooling. In a build with this much power and heat extra fans are needed to help cool the PC down. The added case fans are enough from the Case that I picked and the Corsair Case only has 1 or 2 fans and no Mesh Front Panel. This is crucial with parts that run this hot. If you get that Corsair Case then over time your parts will overheat and fry.

So how do people cool their parts with the Corsair Obsidian 1000D?

Back in 2018 PC parts didn't get nearly as hot as they do now. The 1000D Case has limited Airflow through openings on both sides of the Front Panel and very small gaps on the top of the Case. I think the main design of this case was to be a Server style PC in an environment that is really cold. Sure it can be used for a normal Gaming PC a few years ago but not now. Back when this Case was made people didn't have to worry too much about Airflow and Cooling the parts off because they simply didn't get hot enough.

 

Now you see more and more PC Cases being made with Full Mesh Front and Top Panels to help with Airflow. Intel's 13th Gen CPUs get excessively hot if not Cooled properly. In order to dissipate the heat you need unrestricted Airflow throughout the whole Case. AMD CPUs tend not to get as hot as Intel but not by much. Not only do you have to worry about the CPU heat but also everything else. Every part that has power going to it has to vent it's heat output somehow. Motherboards, RAM, GPUs, PSUs, and even M.2 Drives need a Heatshield or a Heatsink.

 

I just don't want you to regret it later on if something happens to your PC. I'm trying to share my 30 years of PC Building knowledge with you in hopes that this doesn't happen. I have many horror stories of overheated and fried PC parts and whole PCs just because of inadequate Airflow and Cooling.

 

Please don't think that I'm trying to yell at you or make you in fear of PC Building. I just want you to have the best of my information going forward. I wish you the very best and I really hope it all works out for you.

 

I only want to help and if you need to talk further then please DM me and I'll give you my Business Email and Shop Phone Number.
