Next upcoming build. First AM5

[Mr_Roboto]

I am planning on buying this within this next month. Are they any suggestions to improve on this? Planning on a theme of white and purple. 
 

for better clarification yes this will be mostly used for gaming and some work station stuff, but very light on that end. 
I chose a lot of these parts because of the “bang for buck” aspect of them. 

already a little over budget don’t want to spent much more the $1500 USD

 

thank you all for responding!

For those wondering. This is my updated list. Good mix of comment suggestions I think. Thank you all!

seems like a pretty decent build, but you could get a better CPU, like 7800X3D if you bought a cheaper motherboard, and that RAM has a pretty high latency, you should try to find one with less, like 30-32

What mobo would you recommend for a 7800x3d?

That AIO isn't good value for that price, an Arctic is only $30 more and is most certainly going to be quieter and better

use a 7500f if you're in the US since you'll get the same performance but at a much lower price (because you don't get the iGPU) and a lower thermal output and power draw 

That P3 plus is slightly overpriced, you can get a DRAM 2tb ssd for that price, or a non dram for $20 less

Instead of getting a cheap X670 get a quality B650 (since it won't affect performance at all with a CPU like this and will be cheaper). Not to mention that motherboard doesn't have wifi, which after using with my new motherboard, is quite convenient 

CL40 is really quite high for latency, 6000 CL30 is much better for am5

That case is HUGE, 101L is a LOT. For context my 4000D was 44L and slightly big for me. Think of 101L to be the cross section of your sofa/table

A coolermaster MWE 850 gold V2 costs the same as that RM750e Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 - V2 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (MPE-8501-AFAAG-US) - PCPartPicker

I'd go for this

If you go for the 7800X3D consider this (7800X3D is recommended for the 7900 GRE and up if you're at 1080p)

Btw you can get this list and the one above if you go for a cooler like this ($70 less but should perform quite similar and still has ARGB)

The PSU concerns me. I'd estimate your power usage to be right around 650-700W. If you want to run efficiently you normally want that around 80% of your PSUs rating. Also, I'd personally stay away from those budget RMe series PSUs, I'd upgrade to a 850W at least, with some with Japanese capacitors instead of the Taiwanese ones in the RMe. 

 

You might be able to save money on the motherboard too by going with a B series, unless you really need all those extra PCIe lanes, which using would probably put you over your current power budget, and your GPU has a lot of overclocking potential too (by today's standards). 

 

You could always get a better CPU too but the 7700x is a bargain right now and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

you're thinking about a 4090 system. This wouldn't draw more than 500W at PEAK and you're not gonna be running all the components that hard at once, especially not if you're gaming (though that's not stated in OP, many posts made here are for gaming, then again, there are those for workstations)

If they've got a microcenter near it could be even more of a bargain AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, MSI B650-P Pro WiFi, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Computer Build Bundle - Micro Center

7800X3D bundle looks better to me IMO

You could go air cooling with AM5 and buy a cheaper and more reliable Thermal Assassin or similar

Also wouldn’t mind recommendations for a solid 1440p curved panel. Thank you!

 Here is how I calculated it. 

 

7700x has a TDP of 105w but a PPT of 142w

7900 GRE has a TDP of 260w but probably also has the most overclocking potential out of all the cards on the current market so lets say high end of 360w

RAM 15w

Motherboard could be between 25w to 80w

9 fans + 1 pump around 5w each is 50w

8w for the NVMe

 

so running everything at default 463+50misc is 513w.

then you have 655+50misc is up to 715w with overclocks.

 

So I see it as an 850w psu keeping you in an efficient power range while also allowing some room for small upgrades.

 

I did overestimate the power consumption of the GRE at first so a 750w PSU should be fine.
