Budget (including currency): $1500ish

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Programming, I play a lot of Terraria, Civ, occasionally Apex, big indie game enjoyer, but I want to keep my options open

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc):

Here is my suggestion to polish on your list

 

CPU

Instead of Ryzen 7900, 7900X is a great choice because it's on sale where it cost a bit less while performs more

 

CPU Cooler

Currently Thermalright Peerless Assassin is still the best dual tower air cooler with 50% price cut off compared to be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro

 

Motherboard

Depending on your built for big or smaller size, if you don't want small form factor, B650 (non-M) is not a bad choice, and it will fit on your PC case

 

RAM

You forgot to add RAM, and since it's AM5 platform, you are gonna need DDR5 RAM

 

Storage

Keep it 970 (PCIe Gen3), but you know yourself, if you need more space, you can always buy more NVME. Since the mobo on my list can support up to 3 slots of NVME

 

GPU

I keep it same, since your list seems not a heavy duty gaming, but you can push to RX 7800 XT if you still have some spare budget

 

PC Case

NZXT usually looks well if you're going for white or all NZXT products

Since you're doing neither, I would suggest Phanteks P400A. Cheaper, all steel material, all 4 fans included (3 front and 1 rear)

 

Power Supply

I wouldn't advice to use sub $100 PSU that offers 1000W (too good to be true) even though it's Bronze rate

The most popular and easy to recommend Corsair RM750x

 

In total, it's USD1296.52

And if you wanna push to the budget limit, you could add a bit more on the GPU for gaming or storage

5900X would be a better one to eye on but I don't know OP's compiler workflow. There might be some merit just sticking to 5700X and get bigger GPU if compute API is supported.

based on what you play, I don't know why you are upgrading.

[venomtail]

"Programming" is such a loaded mark to achieve. What's it you programming in. What does your programming needs lots of? RAM, cores? Could be simple text programming where even i3 is enough.

 

I say just upgrade bro. 5800X3D is plenty fast for my programming needs, UE5 and so on. For games 5800X3D is an absolute game changer. Apex Legends went from 80-120fps, 1% lows to like 50s with my 2700X to my 1% lows being 144fps and average being 144fps on the lowest and 144fps at most (I've capped fps at 144fps cause their source engine takes a dive in performance past 144fps). You've got memory far too slow for Ryzen. Right now you're losing a lot of performance. 3200MHz minimum for Ryzen.

Added case fans, extra storage cause I'd never use HDD for games anymore.

I've no idea if your case has fans or not, if not, lets add them for cheap:

This is a hobby for me, and there's the off chance I play a triple AAA game if I'm not dead in school lmao- I play indie games because they are short experiences anyway

Most of what I do is like basic ML and CNN and the like, I'm still in school so what I do is all over the place. A lot of python, working with and learning C, Java because school ect... The memory is something that's on my priority, the place I bought it from actually sent me a pair of 16 gigs of ram for 2666 vrs the pair of 4 gigs for 3600, and I just kept it because I wasn't sure at the time what was more optimal.

 

I'd probably get a new case regardless of what I end up doing because I want a new aesthetic change- so the fans is a good thing to add for me anyway (esp. One of my cheap fans actually had the fins popped out of shipping while I was shipping my PC for my internship... Been running the PC glass side panel off because of that for air flow reasons)

 

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the advice! I'll look into compute API, seems interesting to get more performance. Thanks!

Thought about this, probably will just upgrade here instead of getting a whole new system.
