White build for my brother incoming

[Umegadem]

Budget (including currency): SGD

Country: Singapore

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, Triple A games

Other details: Budget around 2.6k SGD (2000USD), will be playing 1080p 144hz (1440p 144hz if budget allows for monitor) and rest of gaming peripherals

 

Hi all, currently planning an all white build, the main games he will be playing will be as above.

 

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Deepcool AK620 ZERO DARK 68.99 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory
Storage: Crucial T500 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive 
Storage: Western Digital Blue 4 TB 3.5" 5400 RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus TUF GAMING OC Radeon RX 7800 XT 16 GB Video Card
Power Supply: Cooler Master V SFX Gold ATX 3.0 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply  ($104.99 @ Newegg)

Case: Titan T90 White Dual Chamber Argb TG Casing

 

Currently having a warning for potentially requiring to update bios to suit the CPU, will that be of any issue?

 

Thank you all for your input!

Decent build. All B650 motherboards suppor the Ryzen 7800X3D out of the box   That being said, it is recommended to update the BIOS for better stability.

 

See if you can find 6000Mhz CL30 RAM instead of CL36.  If not, its not THAT much difference   Maybe a 1% or two.

I hope he isn't going to put games on that WD Blue.. Its fantastically slow by todays standards.

Rest looks great

Thanks for the input! Would you have any recommendations for mass storage drive? Was planning to use that for him to store everything under the sun haha

A normal HDD is fine for storing movies, images etc etc but should not be used for games

Thats about it.

Can always add another SSD later, its very easy to do.

Which version of this? There's two different 6000 CL36 kits from Corsair: 36-36-36 and 36-44-44. The 36-44-44 kits have a lot worse performance (admittedly it's an X3D, so most of that is masked by the cache) and they also have compatibiliity issues on AMD systems. Recent BIOSes have seemed to make it better, but I'd still avoid them if possible. 

 

Even then, 6000 CL30 kits are generally within $5 if you're willing to buy from people other than Corsair, and those just better all around (they tend to have more BIOS optimizations and perform quite a bit better).

Yes and no. The 7800X3D is supported on every BIOS revision thanks to it's AGESA support in the first revision. That said, those early BIOS revisions also have major performance issues with the X3D chips, and if you enable XMP they also have a tendency to kill the CPU, hence most motherboard's CPU compatibility pages say the 7800X3D isn't supported until a certain revision. That said, those are only the BIOS revisions up until ~March 2023, after that it's all fine, and given that the BIOS revision on any given motherboard is the latest one available on the date of manufacture, you need to find a motherboard that's been sitting on a shelf for over a year in order to potentially have to worry about the BIOS revision. It's possible, so I'd double check what revision you're on when you first boot up the system to make sure it was made within the last year, but otherwise I wouldn't really worry about it. 

 

 

The system looks fine, I'd mainly just worry about getting that memory kit swapped out for something better if possible.
