6700 XT isn't a $420 card, more like $300. Given the price range, you'd be better off with chopping in some places to go with a 7800 XT instead. Unless that's just a regional price, you could probably save a lot by going with a different card.

 

7700x is nice and all, but its so close to a 7800x3D.

 

Artic Silver 5 is obsolete, the thermal paste that comes with coolers are just as good and are non conductive.

 

As much as I love the NH-D15, there's far cheaper coolers like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin SE that don't warrant the price premium outside of the gucci-est of CPUs.

It's good, but the cooler is pretty expensive, get a Thermalright PE120 for 45 Canadian Rubles instead

It's in CAD so... there does not seem to be a cheaper card than that.

Agree, he can get 7800X3D if saving a bit on a cooler and pay exactly the same total

Adjustments (slightly lower price than original spec) to upgrade:

- 7700X to 7800X3D

- 6700 XT to 7800 XT

Will there be any issues with getting the gpu to fit ?

I was able to get the price even lower.

 

I'm nit sure why you are so focused on the ASRock Motherboard. ASRock is not all that good. There are much better options that are cheaper. Also is there a reason that you picked a White Kit of RAM?

 

The GPU will fit in that Case, it might be a little snug but the Case is rated for a 400mm GPU and that GPU is only 340mm.

A few tweaks.

 

There doesn't seem much point to me using A-RGB memory modules when the CPU cooler will obstruct the memory area.

 

Consider a less expensive motherboard.

 

Consider a better quality case.

Yeah just trying to decide on the case and mobo now. Definitely want something with fans included, mobo wise so many similar options though.

[dr_monster]

What about the Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard?

It's an mATX motherboard so will look a bit small in an ATX case. 

 

What are you trying to achieve with the pick? It's not a bad motherboard. It would certainly be fine for running a 7800X3D. But other suggestions are better.

Trying to find components that will all fit nicely, the msi tomahawk seems like a good pick so far. If the cooler will block the ram any recommendations on low profile ram ?

[dr_monster]

Ok I think I'm Done ram seems lower now and the cooler looks like it should sit a little higher and the mobo has great reviews.

The beQuiet Pure Rock 2 CPU cooler may not have enough performance.

 

The 360 AIO would likely conflict with the GPU.

 

You can only use one CPU cooler.

 

The case does not have a front panel USB-C port.

 

The memory timings are high. It's not worth the savings.

 

You have been presented with several decent builds, why ignoring the suggestions?

Accidentally added the purerock Cooler last night, I was worried about the aio preventing the gpu from fitting. I'm taking suggestions for a few different people. So I'm kind of all over the place. 

I know I can only have one cooler for the cpu.

Had a little to much beer last night lol.
