[Why_Me]

Change out that SSD for a better one.

thankyou, just looked at the load times of both those and for like $15 more its worth it 

[North Not South]

also if anything if missing from the build (almost didn't add case fans......)

[podkall]

Looks decent, get a better SSD,

 

PC is good,

 

there are few adjustments you can make to save some $,

 

• Cheaper AIO that's still white RGB
• The RAM can lose RGB to be 20$ cheaper but I left the original ram on the list
• The PSU doesn't have to be white, because Lian Li O11 is a dual-chamber case, and the PSU is completely hidden on the other side with all the cables
• Those 130$ Antec fans are very expensive, you could get 6 white RGB fans by buying 3-pack of fans twice, even something like Corsair iCUE fans which are bit pricier just because of the brand
• If you care about the design of how the Antec Fusion fans
• There are few 3 pack options that are cheaper and have similar Antec Fusion RGB design (the cheapest filtered fan on my list in fact has that design)
• If you're going off of RGB on the edge, there can sometimes be found AIOs that share this aesthetic on the RGB design too (though I wasn't able to find anything that wouldn't sound like jet engine or be cheap, perhaps this: NZXT Kraken X73 (you can check out in builds how it looks like on pictures)
• If you have any more questions don't hesitate

thanks for doing all that for me, I love the changes. will a 850w psu be enough, my friend originally put a 1000w psu on it but I thought that was overkill

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-7900-xtx.c3941

 

it's fine

 

 

cheapest 1000W PSU is on my list too, it's the Corsair SF1000L for 250$

 

but you don't need that really.

it's in the parametric filter, which chose 850W since it's cheaper, but it's there

ok sweet thank you, ill look through all of these changes!!!

I appreciate that but I love amd much more than Nvidia, plus hey are not far off performance wise from each other, but thank you for the changes and I will definitely  have a look at them

True! I like AMD as well, then Asrock Taichi is a good way to go. I wouldn't use the Hellhound as it has crappy build quality.

Ok this is even better. Didn't realize these motherboard was the same price! Also a 4080 super that's cheaper than 7900 XTX...  The only thing I would change is the case and cooler, because 360 is cheaper apparently.

@North Not SouthYou still want 7900XTX when 4080 is cheaper?

Alternatively and you might actually like it better, there's the Corsair 2500D, also supporting project zero:

That pc setup looks good but if I were you, I would get a 1tb version of that SSD and buy a 2tb sata ssd. More storage for more games or software.

SATA is dead, long live NVME

[North Not South]

I really appreciate all of these suggestions......... so many choices hahaha 

 

I would rather pay $50 more for the Ryzen 7900 xtx, I think it just looks cooler hahaha

I mean if gaming is your only focus, completely fine. BUT if your going to do productivity works like video editing, 3D stuff, adobe creative suite etc, go for nvidia because nvdia cards have cuda cores which are considered GODLY for productivity works.

Isn't the speed hit worth the extra storage. in my region which is south east asia, sata ssds are cheap (high storage ones).

btw I would recommend you to wait before buying the parts, because ryzen 9000 series is just hitting the shelves. 

Low wattage but around the same or more performance. (If you turn on PBO, even more performance gains) and I heard it is cheaper than the 7000 series.

 

Edit: it doesnt have more performance than a 7800x3d, so you might need to wait longer to get a Ryzen 7 9800x3d.

yeah I did hear about all that, are the 9000 series out now ?    I saw linus's video on it but are they out?

They're "out". Just get the 7800X3D. There might be some software fixes in order to get proper speed with the 9700X. Its an ok CPU. But 7800X3D is still a better gaming CPU.

When you can get something like this, why not just take that instead. Having less cables is always a win in my book and NVME is just better in every way.

I would rather go for a hgh speed low storage NVME ssd and then a high volume low speed nvme ssd.

TLDR; opposite of what youve done. 4tb gen 3 and 2tb gen 4 or gen 5

can keep the high speed one as boot ssd.

[Pawer8]

i recommend to avoid Asus and also get a seasonic psu
