Basically I am building this.

 

 

CPU: 4770K @Stock  GPU: XFX AMD Radeon HD 7990 1GHz  MB: Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3  RAM: Kingston HyperX 1333MHz 4x2GB  CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i   Sound card: Creative Sound Blaster 5.1 VX  SSD: Samsung 830 128GB  HDD: Western Digital 1TB Black, Seagate Barracuda 1TB both 7200RPM  PSU: Pro750W XFX 80 Plus Gold  Case: BitFenix Shinobi Midi Black  Optical Drive: Super Writemaster - SpeedPlus+ DVD/CD Drive

 

 

Basically what is already in my sig (don't have the i7 or mobo yet, getting tomorrow) 

 

Everything else I have except it is currently being powered by a FX 8150. 

 

Also I don't plan on keeping the i7 at stock for long, going to break it in first then slowly introduce some overclocks ;)

 

 

 

In the future I will be looking for a higher end motherboard. What do you guys think of the Black Phoenix? ;)

 

EDIT: Also RAM will be changed at some point to something with a bit more... Kaboom ;) 

System Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X

GPU: Radeon RX 7900 XT 

RAM: 32GB 3600MHz

HDD: 1TB Sabrent NVMe -  WD 1TB Black - WD 2TB Green -  WD 4TB Blue

MB: Gigabyte  B550 Gaming X- RGB Disabled

PSU: Corsair RM850x 80 Plus Gold

Case: BeQuiet! Silent Base 801 Black

Cooler: Noctua NH-DH15

I need not for a better power supply, it already supplies enough power for everything. Especially with the 8150 drawing from it as well. The motherboard and RAM will be changed in the future and the H80i is more than sufficient until I start going for the overclocks that will begin to pump up the heat.

Power Supply is fine XFX is great imo! I would upgrade motherboard, RAM and grab an r9 290 when the non-reference coolers release later this month.

Nevermind, seems you already have the 7990, I would dish out a little more money on the RAM and Motherboard still.
