PC Build(s)

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1440P Gaming

 

Hey peeps, first time posting and I was hoping for your advice and opinions on a build i'm looking at designed for good 1440p gaming with light RT elements. I don't have the CPU/GPU narrowed down yet but have a couple of options in mind...

 

AMD RYZEN 5 7600 or AMD RYZEN 5 7600X

ASUS TUF GAMING B650 MOTHERBOARD

32GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR 5 (5600MHz) 

16GB AMD RADEON RX 7800 XT or 16GB AMD RADEON 7900 GRE

256GB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (3000 MB/R, 1200 MB/W) --- For O/S
2TB SOLIDIGM P44 PRO GEN 4 M.2 NVMe (Up to 7000MB/sR, 6500MB/sW) --- For Games
CORSAIR 750W Ultra Quiet RMe PSU

 

Any opinions? Advice?

 

A few people mentioned 6000mhz DDR 5 but after looking into it, there seems virtually no benefits and I'd rather the cash went elsewhere as I was hitting the limit of what I wanted in the first place.

 

Some people also mentioned RTX 4070 Super 12GB card but NVIDIA GPU are more expensive and I do think the 16gb vRAM will be handy in the future.

 

I did wonder about Ryzen 7 but a lot of what I read/watched said the R5 7600X was a really good CPU for 1440p - But did wonder how much of a drop off would the 7600 be to save a bit more cash.

 

Thanks!

if you don't need RT or any Nvidia-only exclusive features then 100% support AMD GPU choice

7600 is 7600x that clocks slightly slower and significantly less power draw at stock settings, at simple OC settings, their differences become even less apparent

just get one SSD for both OS and games, the OS drive is on default used for: Downloads, AppCache and some AppData, Desktop, and default Music and Picture and Documents and Movie folders

 

how's this?

60-80 pounds less if you swap GPU to 7800 XT, 35 quid less if you use stock instead of aftermarket cooler

knowing its the same one they use for the 5600 I wouldn't use it. Mine goes to 80 in game with a 3060 at 1440p. And the 7600 is definitely more powerful (while it doesn't have a higher TDP it does draw more power when it's allowed to)

for sure, but AM5 is less worried about high temps, so they are basically driving near the safe edge with these cheapo stock coolers, it's not like on stock you're losing too much performance in PBO, neither will you receive stutters if it gets near thermal limit because these Ryzens can glide near it without having to slow down too fast to cause that

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
