Save some money and go for a RTX 4080 or 7900 XTX. $2,200 is not worth the money. Not sure if that model is having issues, but a lot of 4090s were having the melting power plug issues. save yourself 1,000$ and get more storage, RAM, etc.

 

Not sure when you want everything, but I think new GPUs are dropping soon.

Few pointers to what exactly you'll be doing on the PC, or if you are going for some kind of aesthetic since the budget seems to be big.

 

Just gaming and nothing else?

Sounds like an 7800x3D angle to me, and how about aesthetics, do you care about those?

 

@filpo not P3 SSD you want P5 Crucial, P3's not worth the asking price for how close it is to Samsungs and P5

Hey, yeah aesthetics are important, picked the Fractal North cause it matches my setup. For the 4090 ill just go with the cheapest one at the time. So I should get the Crucial P5? I really dont mind the ssd brand so if you have any other recs let me know. Thanks!

these have the highest rating in sub 300$ price range:

 

you can also consider this puppy inside that price range, it's 4TB:

Western Digital Black SN850X 4 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive

I mean it's not terrible, until it fills up it's just like any other SSD right? it's just that since this is a 4090 system, why cut back on other hardware, seems pretty reasonable right?
