Completely New Build

[OctoSausage]

Budget (including currency):  £3000 

Country: United Kingdom

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 4K Gaming / VR + General Dev work

Other details: I don't need any peripherals, currently have LG C2 monitor. The high budget is due to a insurance claim on my old rig (it got rained on), I know it might be a bit overkill but I might as well make the most of it. If some extra case fans could be included as the room it is in has pretty terrible airflow and get's pretty hot.

Thanks! Any suggestions for any less ugly cases? Also, would getting 4x16GB work with this setup? I've run close to capping out 32GB when doing some complex development in the past.

[Why_Me]

Ultimate airflow case, better productivity cpu vs the 7800X3D and a psu with PCIe 5.0 so that you can avoid the mickey mouse adapter that comes with the 4090.

The cooler is changed from 280mm to 360mm for even more cooling capacity. The additional L3 Cache on the X3D CPUs is very temperature sensitive and the more cooling you can throw at it, the better.

The motherboard went to X670E chipset which means more PCIe Gen 5 lanes and better power delivery which is only a plus for a 7800X3D.

The RAM went to 2x32GB because you asked for 4x16GBs. This is the better option, also it's from the memory QVL for the mobo, so shouldn't have any problems pushing these speeds and timings with EXPO.

Changed the case to a slightly bigger one, so that behemoth of a 4-slot GPU has some room to breath. IT also comes 3x120mm front mounted PWM fans, so you can just top mounts the Liquid Freezer and add a single https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/NPZFf7/arctic-p12-563-cfm-120-mm-fan-acfan00119a in the back for another 8 pounds for a total of £2977.26
