Budget (including currency): 1500-1700£ 

Country: uk 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: just about any game, adobe, CAD software and any other design software

Other details
Like to play at 4k for games with good graphics smoothly, 1440p for most of the games. Preference AMD gpu and cpu. 
I'm posting here to get any help with components compatibility or any suggestions to improve budget or better performance. 
I did a parts list of which i think looks good and has good performance 


here is my part picker list

Give up the A-RGB fans in favor of a 7900X.

 

Is the 970 Evo drive already owned? If not get 2 Crucial P5 Plus.

 

The AIO has two fans. The case has 2 stock fans. No need for more.

7900X

Depends on what OP's "CAD" app is. If they cant take more than 16 threads i would recommend 13700 or upcoming 14700 here instead. But OP wants AMD so...

 

Mild cost compression. If OP thinks of it no, i dont think you should put these nvme in RAID 0.

Although, if OP stack 1800 GBP instead, we would get 7900XT which would be a nice bump in VRAM.

Yikes 😱 why would anyone contemplate RAID 0?

Layman when they realize that big numbers in tech doesnt matter every time:

thanks for your help 
What is the difference between the 7700x and the 7900x ? 
does the extra 4 cores make much of a difference for my use ?

An error on 1 of the drives loses all data on both drives. If you want 4TB, buy a 4TB drive

7900X has slightly higher clocks. Plus the added cores can be useful in highly threaded work like CPU renders.

This. The theoretical IOPS gain wont matter unless if you do storage intensive data processing where that kind of stat would matter.

Thats why i say to specify.

State your "CAD" app. But for what it is, Adobe shit thread scaling and Quick Sync Video really opens the door for Intel being better bet.

Can i use one nvme and a ssd would that have the same problem?

 

I wont recommend a different model of drives of any type to put under any RAID besides Raid Z and proprietary unRAID. And besides, your plan of Nvme and SATA raid wont work, it needs to work on same protocol to avoid problems.

ALL RAID 0 arrays have the same behavior. It's in the nature of how RAID 0 works.

So i should get one 4TB nvme or are there any other solution to avoid RAID 0?

You can get 2x2TB if you want. Just having 2 drives is not RAID 0. One has to explicitly create a RAID array. Otherwise the drives are independent.
