7950x3d + 4090 + 96gb 6400c32

 

Case is just a placeholder btw

 

Yea this is just a somewhat price efficient overkill build ig, board choice is for x3d overclocking via eclk

Yes, i suggest you take the ryzen 9 7950x3d or ryzen 9 7950x, both are good they run cooler than the intel prcoessor, plus their performance is much better. I suggest you take a corsair air flow case rather than this lian li case as you might not get as much of a good airflow, but again your choice

I always thought that the Intel i9 was better. What makes the AMD CPU better than the i9? Also, I heard that Lian Li makes one of the best cases for cooling. Is Corsair better?

Again, the same question: What makes the AMD CPU better? Also, I don't know anything about overclocking and what 'eclk' is. How easy is it to achieve this?

well atleast for me its a personal preference for corsair, ive gotten good air flow from their cases, you can obviously take lian li there is no problem. for me atleast i have found out corsair cases give me better air flow. It is totally your choice

Consider an i9-13900K instead of the KS. The KS doesn't add that much more performance and runs very hot doing so.

 

Instead of two 2TB NVMe drives, consider a single 4TB one.

 

There is no need for a 4g tube of thermal compound. The two AIO will come with sufficient compound.

 

I don't think the Noctua fans are needed. The two AIO add five fans to the build which should be sufficient to establish good airflow.

if you want all the performance, go for the maximus z790 apex, beware that it only has 2 RAM slots tho

Lian Li has a few good cases for cooling. That said I Like the Corsair 5000D Airflow. If I was to go with a normal tower case from my Lian Li 011 Dynamic, I'd likely choose the 5000D Airflow...

Point is, there are good choices and not so good choices. Do your research and ask questions. Find the best value for your needs.
