Budget: 2100 USD - 2700 USD

Country: Sweden

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Battlefield 6 - CS2 - GTA 6 (whenever that comes out)

Other details: My current PC is from 2015 and I haven't been gaming since around 2018. But now when I've seen Battlefield 6, I feel it is time again 🙂

 

I want bad ass FPS with high graphics settings. I will likely not game in 4K though. Not to begin with anyways. Maybe later on.

 

So this is what I am thinking of: https://komponentkoll.se/bygg/TseWb

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
GPU: ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB OC
MOBO: ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS WIFI
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB)
PSU: Corsair CX750

Cooling: Arctic Liquid Freezer III 240 A-RGB
Chassi: Phanteks XT Pro Ultra

 

With todays price, I'll get these parts for 2376 usd. I'll probably wait until Black Friday before I do any ordering though.


At first, I was thinking of Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF and RTX 5080 (which would give me a build for approx 3200 usd), but after watching these two videos from ScatterVolt, I changed my mind:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwjPjznOYTQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yUDKbF9-ZY&t

 

Or should I go for the RX 9070 XT instead of 5070 TI?


And I'm not very sure when it comes to CPU cooling. I've never used water cooling before. Is it easy to install? Will it require maintenance from time to time or it's a one time thing and it will 'work' for as long as I use the computer?

When it comes to chassi, I don't really bother. I will turn off all RGB lighting and so on. I don't care for window really, but it was the most popular one with lowest price.

 

I'll take all feedback I can get. Thanks in advance!

 

Edit 1:

Should I go with 64 GB RAM instead of 32GB?

Is the PSU powerful enough or should I go higher?

Consider a twin tower CPU cooler. Something  like https://se.pcpartpicker.com/product/zyNxFT/thermalright-peerless-assassin-120-se-argb-6617-cfm-cpu-cooler-pa-120-se-argb. If you really want an AIO get a 360 model.

 

Get a better PSU. The PSU affects system stability and component lifetimes. You are investing a significant amount in other components, don't skimp on the PSU. 

 

Check PSU model pricing. Sometimes 850W models are only a few shekels more than the 750W model.

This.

 

Also either get a full ATX motherboard since you're getting a full ATX case.. or get a smaller case.  I'd go full ATX board to get more slots and better VRM for the price.

Thank you for your feedback.

 

Is there any pro's and con's in using a regular CPU cooler instead of water cooling (AIO) ? I would love if it's better to use a regular cooler instead of water, since i've never worked in water coolers before. Feels lowkey scary, lol.

 

Alright, so 850W should be enough for the build or should I go ever higher?

Water is arguably better when going 360mm.  If going less, a good air cooler can compete well.

 

Water is easy, they are self contained and no maintenance.  They DO have a finite life though, due to pumps moving parts wearing, etc. I use water in 3 of my 5 builds currently, and love it for ME.  

 

It can be scary, but people put bags of water in their chest for years.  And we enjoy it a lot too 🙂  So water is okay!

It's a little pricey, looks to be like $350 USD or more?  3370Kr?

 

I'm using Choose A Motherboard - PCPartPicker

 

Set to Sweden, to check prices.

 

You don't need anything more than something like this, overkill on a motherboard doesn't really net you anything extra...

@Dedayog @brob I've made some changes to the build and currently looking at this:

Underlined are the new components compared to previous build.

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
GPU: ASUS PRIME Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB OC
MOBO: ASUS TUF GAMING B850-PLUS WIFI
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB)
PSU: Corsair RM850x

Cooling: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE
Chassi: Phanteks XT Pro Ultra

 

2130 USD compared to previous 2376 USD.

 

I'm really not sure whether I should go with a RX 9070 XT or a 5070 TI. I need help deciding here.

Not certain either if I should go 64 GB RAM instead of 32. Also water cooling or not. Once I have build the computer, I never wanna open it up again and maintain stuff (thinking about water cooling here).

Like I said, there is NO water cooling maintenance.  Literally you CANNOT open it even.  Get that out of your head.  My Thermaltake 360mm on my 9900K is now 7 years old and untouched.  The Peerless will cool the 9800X3D just fine.  IT's not a hot chip.

 

I'd go 64 if building a new machine, you'll break 32GB in heavily modded games.   I have 64 and see almost 40GB used with things I do.

 

9070XT vs 5070TI.... Bang for buck the 9070XT is better, but DLSS is slightly better for the 5070Ti.  Toss up IMO, if you want to spend more get the 5070Ti.  The 9070XT is almost as good, and cheaper.  Pick your poison.

 

Good build, as long as the RAM is 6000CL30 of course.

Thank you for all your help! Then I'll do 64 GB RAM.

Will the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE make a lot more noise than water cooling?

I think I'll go with RX 9070 XT to be honest, although DLSS is slightly better.

 

As for storage, I was thinking Kingston NV3 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD or should I invest in better W/R speeds?

The Assassin will be just fine and quiet, you can even set a fan cuve in BIOS that makes it virtually silent.

 

I'm good with the 9070XT, FSR4 is strong and it's just a really solid card.

 

Actually, get the MSI Spatium M470 Pro, as it has DRAM and a 5 year warranty, and is cheaper.  Excellent drive.

Thank you for your feedback.

 

Is there any pro's and con's in using a regular CPU cooler instead of water cooling (AIO) ? I would love if it's better to use a regular cooler instead of water, since i've never worked in water coolers before. Feels lowkey scary, lol.

 

Alright, so 850W should be enough for the build or should I go ever higher?

 

The only reason you might consider more than 850W is if you plan on getting a GPU like the RTX 5090. The latest model of RM850X is a very good choice.

 

For your CPU, the only reason I would use an AIO is aesthetic. In some builds AIO simply look better. From a performance perspective there is not going to be a lot of difference.

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Why would you go for RTX 5070 TI instead of RX 9070 XT if I may ask?

 

Same question for these:

Case: Montech AIR 903 BASE ATX Mid Tower Case vs Phanteks XT Pro Ultra

PSU: MSI MPG A850GS PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold vs Corsair RM850x

If you plan on using DLSS (frame generation) then the 5070 Ti, otherwise the 9070 XT will work fine.

 

Tier A psu (I went for price point). That Corsair psu is also a good choice.

I think you can definitely shave a little off with cheaper RAM and GPU, so look for sales that bring them to at least these prices I added to show comparison...

It all works although I would be looking at CL30 instead of CL36 if this is a gaming build.
