[laxMack]

Budget (including currency): 1000

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: some AAA games as well as CAD work.

Other details see attached screen shot.

 

moderate build to go around an rtx 3070ti I inherited. Looking at the new AM5 platform. What do you think?

Not looking for top of the line performance but functional at 1080p to 1440. May play some AAA games but mostly CAD work.

Its much easier if you just post this link here so we can open PcPartPicker instead of that screenshot you took.

But I will manually write it and look at it.

Its not a bad build and you are not overspending on useless features or RGB.

You can save a bit of money by going without the CPU Cooler as the 7600 comes with a stock cooler  

Memory sweetspot is 6000Mhz CL30.  CL36 is not much slower in reality however.

I would also go with another 1TB SSD instead of a 500GB one, 20 bucks more for twice the storage ain't too bad.

 

Good build.

Newegg deal has that ram for free with the MB. Only reason I went with that ram.

 

honestly didn’t think of making that a 1tb, old habit of getting some smaller boot drive then a primary storage drive for everything else, not as essential with ssd’s these days.

Gotcha, then its okay.  There ain't much difference between CL30 and CL36 in reality. You won't notice any difference.

Yeah, with SSD's / M.2's I prefer one large for windows and all my things compared to multiple drivers, personal preference of course.

 

No other complaints about the build, looks great.

All good yeah, storage capacity/perf is 1/2TB now.

I upped it to 2TB. Last time I did a true ground up build was in the days of optical drives. Since then it’s been over time piece by piece upgrades so some old habits die hard. SSD’s, especially M.2, have eliminated the need for the boot drive to improve startup time.
