First Build looking for comments

[BenD0T]

Budget (including currency): Around what i have in the listed below but open to advise

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1440p high frames for all games and future games. this is why I've gone with the 7800xt with its crazy value right now.

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): 

 

I've linked my parts list below. this is my first build and i am building around the 7800xt and 7600 cpu to get AM5. i don't know as much when it comes to the other parts so i am looking for comments on them (like the PSU, storage, cooling, motherboard & Ram). For example, is there a reason why i should the extra money on the larger motherboard? I need included WIFI btw.

 

the accessories like the monitor and case i was going to get whatever is on sale for black friday (i am waiting for black friday for all parts)

i liked the Magnium gear air 2 case but if anyone has suggestions on a budget case they enjoyed building, looks good and includes fans in purchase please let me know.

Look again when black friday deals are public.

 

And if you look at the price of the pc, 7800xt does not offer best value. 7900gre is about 20% faster and the pc will be 10% more expensive.

Then don't waste time detailing a build now. By Black Friday both Intel and AMD will have new CPU. And, I suspect new GPU will also be on offer.

Youre spending too much money on your motherboard and RAM. That money could be saved for a better GPU.

Hello... After looking at you List I made a new one from Scratch. I'm going to try and explain every Part that I can and why I picked them.

 

For the CPU I went with the Ryzen 5 8500G. It's Newer + Faster and cheaper than the 7600 and it has better Integrated Graphics.

 

The CPU Cooler I went with the Thermalright Frozen Edge 360mm AIO. I went with an AIO because Air Coolers are cheaper but they get really bulky and the AIO has such a minimal look. Plus if you ever decide to Upgrade the CPU you won't need a new Cooler.

 

For the Motherboard I went with the Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX. It has WiFi and all the features you want in a Motherboard without costing too much. It's a Mid-Range Board for a Low-End price. It's ATX and not Micro-ATX. I picked ATX so it wouldn't look so cramped. Those Cheap Low-End MSI Boards are not good and they don't have an Integrated I/O Shield. They lack many features like less Storage options, less I/O, limited Memory options, and usually only 1 PCIe Slot. ATX is the way to go unless you need a smaller option.

 

RAM is or should be Standard at 2x16GB 32GB 6000 MHz CL30 for both AM5 and Intel 12th, 13th, & 14th Gen. I picked a GSkill Kit that works with AMD EXPO RAM Settings in the BIOS. The RAM you had was 6400MHz CL34, you take a risk by not using the Standard Timings for RAM on AM5 and Intel 12th-14th Gen. It could become Unstable. Plus the correct Timings are usually cheaper anyway.

 

For Storage I went with 2TB from Western Digital Blue M.2 Drive. The Kingston M.2 you picked is a really bad option for both Speed and Quality. 1TB just isn't enough anymore seeing as Games are getting big in Download size.

 

I went with a AMD RX 7900 GRE 16GB for the GPU. It's Faster than the 7800 XT for just a bit more money, sometimes I've seen it cheaper than the 7800 XT. Plus the GRE can do 4K Flawlessly where as the 7800 XT might struggle a bit in 4K with Higher Frame Rates.

 

The Case is something different than what you had. First I could not find it in Stock on PCPP. I went with the Montech XR. It has the Newer Style looking Case called "Panoramic View" that looks like a Fish Tank, a very popular option these days. It comes with 3 included Fans, 2 on the Side and 1 in the Rear. The AIO that I mentioned will go in the Top of the Case. I added 3 more Fans that will go on the Bottom of the Case to help Cool off the GPU.

 

And finally for the PSU I went with the Corsair 850w RMe. It is fully ATX 3.0 and PCIe 5.0 Ready for the best Protection available for all the latest Parts. I tried to find something cheaper around the 750w Range but the different in price was so close, I figured why not?

 

I'm not sure if you like RGB or not but the Case and extra Fans have them. If you don't like RGB then you can always turn it off with Software. Other than that I'm sure you will love this PC. Maybe down the line you would like to Upgrade the CPU to the new 9000 Series X3D line.

 

Feel free to ask me anything. Take a look and let me know what you think.
