All White Corsair Build (Suggestions)

[Doixk]

Hello all, this is my first post on the forum and I was looking for some suggestions for my current build. Current specs are as follows:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D

GPU: Gigabyte Aero OC 4070 Super 

Ram: GSkill Trident Z Neo 3600

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B-550A

AIO: Corsair H150i Elite Capellix

PSU: Thermaltake GF1 850w

SSD: Samsung 980 Pro 2tb

HDD: (2x) 2tb Dell server grade HDDs

Case: Corsair 5000x w/ 10 corsair fans

 

I've just upgraded the GPU recently and AM5 is on my horizons along with PCIE Gen 5. But I can't seem to let go of the 5800x3d yet and have to upgrade the motherboard, cpu, and ram. Also the mobo, ram, psu, and aio are about 3 years old at this point so I guess those would be my main upgrade points.

AIO is still competent today and if you get the mounting bracket for am5, you could move it over to the new platform. Honestly, I think your system looks and should perform pretty good now. Even if you're on 1080p. PSU should be fine and thermaltake aren't really that bad. How long is the warranty on the PSU?

no need to upgrade the mobo if you're not gonna go to a new platform, b550-a is a great board IMO

But you shouldn't need to upgrade to AM5 unless you want to, I don't think you should

Ram is 32gb. I believe the PSU is still under warranty for 2 years. And my only concern with the AIO is that I upgraded to the 5800x3d about 6 months ago from an R9 3900x and while before my cpu temps wouldn't ever go above 75 degrees on cinebench, the 5800x3d would sometimes touch the high 80s. I know its not a huge concern but I didn't think I would see that big of a temp jump. I have also tried different types of thermal compound and deep cleaned the radiator in that time.

weird, though the 5800X3D has got cache on top of it and it's cores are tightly packed together so it's not a huge surprise

You could get the arctic liquid freezer III ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III A-RGB 48.82 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (ACFRE00152A) - PCPartPicker

when it's close accept the warranty and possibly sell it (in 2 years)

Why even would you? The 5800x3d is a CURRENT top 5 gaming cpu. It is REALLY good.

Thats because of how the x3d chips are made. 80s is VERY GOOD!!!! for a 5800x3d. They dont run hot just have a harder time transferring heat due to the 3d vcache being on top of the cpu die which increases thermal resistance a lot.

 

DO NOT upgrade your aio it is STILL HIGH END!!!!

 

Thr psu fine too dont worry about going out of warranty. If it were to fail this one is high enough quality that it will just shut itself off before damage can be done. Plenty people use a high end psu for a decade if not more and are fine as these are made to be well made.

 

So quite literally. DO NOT WASTE MONEY! You have a HIGH END GAMING PC. Like genuinly the only part that would matter to upgrade is the gpu again as a 5800x3d only starts to struggle handling a 4090 at 1080p because that card can just push insane fps. With struggling I mean it only is able to push MULTIPLE HUNDREDS of fps compared to others pushing 100 more in games with egines that support it (which are basically the esports titles and thats about it)
