Planned 5090 build

[TheBlackRose]

Budget (including currency): 9 - 10k AUD

Country: Australia

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

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): pretty much all modern games I have a 1440p 240hz monitor plan on buying in the next day or so

 

 

Hey all just got a build here that I'm planning to build, done a bit of research and from what I can tell the parts chosen seem to work well, don't worry about all the drives in the list as I already own them except the 4 tb m.2 I will be buying that only issue pcpartpicker says is When the motherboard M.2 slot M2_2 (M) is used, expansion slot PCIE_1 (x16) will run in x8 mode. not sure if that's gonna be an issue if I have to get rid of one of my m.2's or not, just want a bit of input before I go through with the purchase.

Everything's a halo product and overpriced, I think you know that already though.

 

Ryzen 9000 performance softcaps at 6400MHz so no need to spend extra for 6600MHz. Better look for a 6400MHz RAM kit with lower timings like CL28/30.

 

Everything checks out otherwise.

 

Since you're going for godtier parts, might be interested in latest TRYX PANORAMA AIO setting a trend.

 

It would look great like this here.

i'd do 6000c30 for stability

This.

 

Almost certainly the board will throw you in gear 2 mode if you try to enable 6400 XMP/EXPO anyway which will just be a decrease in performance. Very few chips will do 6400 1:1, especially without manual tweaking. 

 

If you just want it to work out of the box with XMP/EXPO, 6000CL30.

Only keep the HDD. You can add an extra Arctic P14 ARGB to fully RGB it, swap the black fan on the back.

pc game really is regressing, 7 yrs ago we had stuff like this...

The current Nvidia driver 572.16, which is the only driver for the 5090 at the moment, have reports causing issues.

and

 

 

 

Since it's the very first driver for that gpu perhaps it's worth waiting for the driver to mature abit more?

 

And with that much more power draw compared to the 4090, perhaps we'll see melted cables again.
