Hello and welcome to the Forum!

 

You are overspending quite a bit on certain components, you can EASILY save a lot of money without hurting performance.

If you are only gaming on this system then the 7800X3D is actually faster than the 7950X3D.

Well I'm wanting to do some video editing and 3d rendering.

That would be important to list in your first post   You only said gaming.

Good to know. Still, can still save a bit of money.

140 bucks for a windows 11 licence is robbery. You can get a licence cheaper on a 3rd party site.

Also 9000 series CPU

This puts you into a RTX 4090 and 6TB of storage. Replace the 140mm exhaust fan that's included with this case with the 140mm ARGB fan down below for the full effect.

@podkall I have changed some things in my list to make it even cheaper than yours what do you think?

Also why the 9000 series aren't they crap?

8000 series are crap, 9000 series are slightly better, but 7800x3D works too if you want to pay the inflated price, in stock 7800x3D cost 350$

You need to check whether the case can support the amount of fans you're getting, 140mm are bigger and in some areas you fit less 140mm than you do with 120mm.

I guess this works, not sure why you're getting 2 GM7000 2TB when 1 4TB costs as much having more open slots in the MB for more storage.

 

Check out X670E - the E stands for "Extreme" and has few features it guarantees support of, like PCIe 5.0 16x slot for GPU. (even though we are far away from saturating 4.0 Gen with GPU)

 

RAM can be 50$ cheaper, and perhaps 20-30$ cheaper if you want RGB, but if you want that RAM for it's look it works.

 

For PSU, the Corsair isn't bad, but it's little dated tech 2021, you can choose any ATX 3.0 unit, which has special preoccupations that previous PSUs didn't require to have.

 

Here's a list that touches performance related changes:

For the fans, make sure you have right amount of reverse-blade and regular fans, and if your case can support XYZ amount of 120/140 fans.

If you look at my list, it uses parametric selection, which chooses a cheapest part from selection:

 

In the selection of my list, you can click on any product and it takes you there, or read each of them, all of the PSUs in my selection are ATX 3.0 or better.

 

As for motherboards, they're just bunch of X670E motherboards, check them out and their connectivity, the cheapest ASRock Lightning actually doesn't have RGB headers, so I would choose a different Motherboard.

Ok thanks im doing 2 2tb SSD because I'm doing a duel boot with windows and Linux and I thought it would make it easier to have a drive for each operating system.
