Is everything here good?

[Guest]

Budget: $2700 was my max. Monitor doesn't need to be included in it, anything below $375

Country: USA, not near a microcenter. : (
Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming but I'm aiming to get into 3d modeling, rendering like game dev stuff and general art related things. Maybe streaming in the future. Unreal engine, Unity, Blender, Clip studio paint and some others, for games I do play a lot of competitive games and mmos but with the build I'm aiming more for more visuals in solo games.

Other details:
I want to play at 1440p, 4k seems not worth it to me. I already have a 1080p monitor as a second monitor if that works. It's a HP 25X.
I'm looking for a monitor that's high refresh with good colors for art, I'll be buying everything now to whenever prices come out for 50 series and CPUs are normal-ish prices.
If the new gpus are too expensive i'm going for 4080 super or 4070 ti super, was thinking about a used 4090 as well.
I'm unsure of what CPU to go with I believe more cores are useful for my use case yes? Will the 8 core cpu I have selected work? I know it's the best one for gaming right now.
I only picked the X870E because it's not really anymore expensive than the one I was recommended before somewhere else and it looks cleaner. I'm willing to change it though to anything reliable that I'll be able to completely fill out overtime. I may mess around with overclocking. I'll be needing a lot of storage later. I just need to plug in a digital art pad, mouse, keyboard, headset, microphone and camera.

The case is on the way and I got the ram from someone.

Thanks for any help.

Edit: Basically..
CPU: Thoughts?
CPU Cooler: I'm settled on this, might go for the artic freezer lll 360
Motherboard: Thoughts?
Memory: Already had. So have to go amd
Storage: I'm getting this soon, pretty settled on it, might change last min if any sales pop up.
GPU: Waiting on 50 prices.
Case: On the way. Should be big enough, I plan on upgrading PC every year after I build this one.
PSU: Unsure on. 1000watt is just so I don't have to think about it ever, I read 50 might need more umphf
Monitor: Thoughts?
I should mention it's my first build.

Maybe non 3D version of this chip if your getting into the other two things. Maybe even 9900x if you can swing it. The more cores for rendering. However in the end if time isn't to different to justify more money in this build.

 

Then cost goes up for monitor a good IPS is good but maybe even OLED be better for everything your using it for. Very high refresh rates now like 144hz-340hz so there are options. The one you choose isn't bad from what I read.

 

As for GPU maybe wait till 50 series drops and might be able to save some money on like open box 4090 or see what the 5080 price would be and performance gap.

 

Like my build is for nothing major but gaming, streaming and the occasionally rendering in davinci for my stream overlays. I'm not sure on your rendering case but more cores the quicker it is and do other things meanwhile.

CPU Cooler

Is there a specific reason you are going AIO rather than something reliable like a tower cooler? That CPU doesn't get super hot

Yeah I'm considering non x3d but my problem overall is just not knowing what CPU to go with.. before intels issues and before I got my ram I was going to go with a 14900k.

Unsure on OLED I always thought IPS or nano IPS was better for some reason outside of just gaming but have long forgot why that was.

I just want a cleaner look is all and the price difference isn't all that great.

They are fine. Just I'm basing off of an IPS I have and my OLED as my main. They both look good don't get me wrong. Just in gaming OLED 10bit color depth for that clean gradient transition from dark to light or vice-versa, then HDR is very fun. In horror games in particular, blacked out.

 

IPS to me had a little banding could be just mine though. Nano IPS though are damn close to OLED my friend as one and hers looks really good no light bleed when system is asleep or off either which I see on my IPS. I haven't kept up on monitors but OLEDs since I bought mine. Also can look in person if you have a best buy near you. Usually have all monitor types set up. Well mine does not sure if all the same.

Swap that cooler for one of the Arctic Freezer 3's.... 240mm will probably be plenty or a 280mm if you want it quieter.... but you can get a 360 RGB version if you want, but stick to the Arctic Freezer 3.

 

Gaming focused, but with some core-heavy rendering on the side and I'd say you should try to stick to the 9800X3D, but you may have to wait a while.

For around $350 I think OLEDs will all be out of price range (late 2024, you normally need about $500 for the good ones), but there are several interesting options around $250 for 144-180Hz and $350 for 240Hz....

 

Please go and watch the video below, this is not MY specialist area, but Monitors Unboxed REALLY know their stuff!!! ("my" comments are just a summary of the video below)

 

SDR ~$250:

Dell G2724D

MSI G274QPF-QD (Widest colour range)

Gigabyte M27QA /  M27Q-P (best factory colour calibration in this price range) M27Q as a backup, but it is not quite as good, older and should be much cheaper.

 

Higher refresh in the $300-$400 price range:

MSI G274QPX

LG 27GR83Q (sometimes ~$350)

Summary of these was "pick the cheaper of the two", slight preference for the LG.

Gigabyte M27Q-X (more for motion, less for colour)

 

I think you really need to review the colour analysis charts, etc and see if anything stands out for your use-case... e.g. it's possible that a $250 144Hz might be a better choice for you than a $350 240Hz if the colour calibration is better:
