Hey, everyone!
it has been almost 3 months since my last post, and a lot has changed since i last submitted my build for review and advice. But here i am again

Also i again preemptively apologize for my grammar, English is still not my first language.
 

Important details: (almost copying from my old post)
1. Im located in Russia, and will be buying in local currency (RUB), but for the sake of simplicity i would count the conversion rate as 1 : 100 (USD to RUB).
2. Overall budget is 200.000 - 210.000 RUB (~2000USD). It has some wiggle room, up to +-15.000 RUB
3. Im going to buy parts in the local electronics store. It will be slightly more expensive then buying used, but it gives me peace of mind knowing i get years of warranty.
4. I have done some research into part compatibilty and based on that and what i wanted i have picked some parts for the build already.
5. I would love to get some criticism about the parts that i've already picked, that's why im here.
6. New parts (or which ones that i picked i should swap for your recommendations) suggestions are welcome!
7. I will be buying everything on April 24th.
8. This PC is meant primarly for Gaming and some light coding.

9. My overall goal is to run all modern games in 1080p (and after a bit, at 2k) at ultra settings on at least 60+ FPS, with RT if possible.

Also, important note:
Unfortunately, due to some real world economic reasons, prices for PC parts in Russia can be a little weird sometimes, but generaly should be around global standards.
I don't know how to account for that properly. :c 

With that, here is my new list of parts that i want to get:

CPU: ryzen 7 7800x3d

CPU Cooling: ARDOR GAMING Frostwave 360 PS White
GPU: AMD radeon rx 9070xt
Motherboard: MSI PRO B650-A
RAM: ADATA XPG Lancer Blade 2x16 gb 6000hz 30-40-40
Storage: ADATA LEGEND 960 MAX 2TB
Power Supply: ARDOR GAMING ORIGIN 850WGF2
Case: Prime Box Iron Pride Invader Q5 (I have already bought the case, it is standard ATX fish bowl case, as far as my calculations go, it should fit pretty much everything ATX-sized well.

With those parts, i have several questions:
 

First, the motherboard i want has only pice 4.0 x16, but my chosen GPU is pcie 5.0 x16. As far as i've heard, it should not matter much, but im not educated enough on this to know for sure. I really can't stretch my budget for another 100$ for a pcie 5.0 motherboard.

Second thing, the power supply. I don't really know how much power will those parts draw, but on GPU it said 750w. So i assume 850 would be enough?
Also, i don't know about this exact power supply, but i could not find any better price\wattage  power supplies that are modular (do i even need modular? im not sure).
Third thing. 9070xt has 3x8 pin connector, so as far as i understand 3x6 + 2 on the power supply will be compatible?

And finally, does it matter if i use a single 2TB SSD for everything for now, with possibility of getting another one later, or should i swap to 2 different ones, but less overall storage?

Thanks everyone in advance for answers.

Everything looks quite decent 🙂  Not much to complain about really.

 

You will not lose any performance with your 4.0 x16 motherboard over a 5.0 x16 wtih a 9070 XT.

We are barely saturating PCIE 3.0 at this point and 4.0 is double the bandwidth. Nothing to worry about.

 

For your setup a 750w is plenty so 850w gives you some room for upgrades later if you want.

It is correct that you can use 3x6+2 for a 3x8pin GPU.

 

I personally only use 1 large SSD for my windows and games, works like a charm.

 

Please don't get a ''ARDOR GAMING ORIGIN 850WGF2'',  There is no reviews on this unit and its not even on any of the PSU Tierlists..  It might be okay but I can't recommend it at all without any information.

Get a PSU from a reputable brand please.

 

 

This is how you will connect your graphics card 🙂

ARDOR is Russian-based PC hardware company, so that's why you can't find anything on that power supply (probably) and as far as i know its kinda new-ish?

To be fair im in mixed feelings about ARDOR, since its relatively new on the market. So i went and found a couple of other options from a bit more recognizable brands
Also keep in mind, its a bit hard on big brand power supplies stock in russia right now.

MONTECH CENTURY 850

Thermaltake Toughpower GT 850W Snow

Maybe those would be better?

Yeah, I know that PSU's from reputable brands are hard to come by in Russia and some other countries. Its a shame.

 

Out of those two I would lean towards the Thermaltake Toughpower GT 850W Snow, be aware that this unit is white.

It also only comes with a 5 year warranty while 'better' PSU's usually come with 10.
