Salutations humans! 😄
Tell me eeeeeverything that I am doing wrong. Or anything that I could do better.
 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
Logic Board: MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE
Power Supply: Corsair AX1600i Digital ATX (1600W)
 
This PC is more than a tool for me. I am looking to build something I like a lot, not just something that works great. I know that it might sound strange.
 
This Windows PC is meant for Unreal 5.x development, 3D modeling, video editing, and high-res gaming (for virtual photography or to drive three 4K screens in-game, four 4K screens when not in-game).
In particular, obviously, this PC is meant to run Barbie Diaries: High School Mystery and Desperate Housewives: The Game in 8K supersampling, 120 FPS VRR, max settings, full path tracing ON, DLAA ON, DLSS 3 OFF.

 

Budget (including currency): EUR/CHF

Country: Switzerland

You sure you need that x670e godlike?

A more sensible option would be the b650/x670e aorus master, taichi, x670e-a/f if youd like to keep an external clockgen for overclocking x3d or extra fine tuning

Outdated and probs a pain for ram compatibility

Peerless assassin/phantom spirit 120 or ak/ag620 would perform similarly for much cheaper

 

Honestly im surprised you didnt just go the done to death generic hardline custom loop route in terms of cooling

6800 xmp probs wont work, just stick to a 6000 kit

From the G.Skill product pageScreenshot_20230924_232355_Chrome.jpg.618964a6e1f9e7b9ac587a6a76a71f22.jpg

 

G.Skill does not qualify 48GB or 32GB modules over DDR5-6000 for AMD motherboards.

 

Odd model choice for GPU.

 

PSU is significantly over required capacity.

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Thank you for the reply!

I have weighted other options, with 10GBit/s ethernet there are not many:

I did not appreciate my current Asus board much. And from reviews, the two MSI options are better than the Gigabyte one. So it's between the ACE and GODLIKE. I prefer the GODLIKE because it has more features (more SATA ports for example, and the probably stupid screen) and it's better looking.

I really like Noctua.

I don't want to deal with the leaks risk and the maintenance.

My current PC turns 10 years old this November. The RAM was rock solid, so I prefer to stick with G.SKILL, if reasonable. The only RGB and 192GB sticks they have are these:

 

I am not sure which one is best.

First of all, thanks for the reply!

From the configurator, for 192GB RGB, only this seems compatible:

https://www.gskill.com/product/165/390/1682669594/F5-5600J4040D48GX2-TZ5NR

 

But these two should work as well, no?

Maybe I would just have to set the frequency in the bios to 6000?
Wouldn't that be faster than the 5600 kit? And also the higher frequency could be used when I upgrade the CPU to a new AM5?

PSU is significantly over required capacity.

PCPartPicker estimates almost 1000W. 600W seems like a decent margin, considering future upgrades, and this does not consider any peripheral, HDD, additional SSDs, or PCI cards.

Founder Edition, because, to my eyes, all the others look like plasticky toys. (no offence to other builders, this is my particular taste.)

This PC is more than a tool for me. I am looking to build something I like a lot, not just something that works great. I know that it might sound strange.

Oh well if youve got the money to spend ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

Maybe wait for the d15 gen2 or whatever its gonna be called so atleast itll be worth the massive tower thatll be annoying af for ram compatibility alongside the money

6400c32

But look for a 6000c32/36 kit instead if you want xmp to work and not have to manually tweak your rams

 

Btw ram branding doesnt matter, ics come from the same few manufacturers, wouldnt bother wasting money on a ram brand unless were talking crucial or klevv where theyre guaranteed hynixes/microns so i can get specific ics

heres 3100 ddr3 on some green pcb samsungs limited by my i7 930 imc. I specifically chose to buy bare pcb samsungs because i can cherry pick the ics simply by asking for a certain model number, this is m378b2873gb0 1gbit g die, alot better than my transcend pscs of which the cream of the crop only hit 3000 in windows and that crashed within a minute of getting into windows

These kits are all 2x48GB. To achieve 192GB one would need to use two kits. G.Skill instructs not to mix memory kits because each kit contains matched sticks that can work together. Two 2x48GB kits is mixing kits.

 

If you want 192GB you need to get a 4x48GB kit. Given the difficulties with the first gen AMD DDR5 memory controller it would be prudent to get a kit that has been qualified for the motherboard.

If you told me this was 6000USD I would not believe you. You can still make something faster, use more premium parts and have this still cost less. At this price point picking the NHD15 is literally burning money, paying more for getting less. At least if you're getting less get the black version with the cover, don't let yourself become the advertisement:

 

Better cooler. Whilst the NHD15 can cool the CPU this AIO will do it much quietlier. 

Better memory. From my knowledge the alternative to max out RAM is much more unstable. Usually for workloads it's the nr. 1 priority everyone avoids. 

Better GPU. Will be far more quiet.

Better and more storage, split up OS from your stuff. You could probs even afford another 4TB M.2.

Top tier premium case. Subjective but case comes with all the latest IO, extremely easy to build in like a dream and even a phone charger.

Same for PSU. Top tier but at that price point they're all god tier. Pick what you like the best.

Just buy a reseller windows key. No one's too rich to buy full price.

 

For the sake of stability (especially for productivity as you can't afford crashes), stick with normal RAM configurations. You could probs even afford extra fans but they'll already come with the AIO's:
