So, I did it. I had to. I ordered the stuff last night, my Windows is nagging, my fans are whining, and my games are stuttering. It has served me for nearly 8 years, but is now headed for retirement. Here's my new best friend;

ASUS PRIME X670E-PRO
7800X3D and its buddy, a Phanteks Glacier One 360MP
ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 4090 OC
Kingston Fury Beast DDR-5 6000MHz 64GB
Corsair RMe 1000e PSU (some margins here, for possible future upgrades)
Kingston FURY Renegade M.2 2TB (7300/7000)
Kingston KC3000 M.2 2TB (7000/7000)
Phanteks Eclipse G500A tower (just rolling with the standard fans, 3x140mm should be plenty along with the Glacier One)

The 7800X3D is the only component not currently in stock, might take 2 weeks or so, so I'll have to wait a bit longer. Got a decent deal on it all as well, about 10% off through an old aquintance of mine.

Now my biggest concern is this; what the hell should I get as a new display?! I want something larger than what I have (been on 32" since 2015), and 4K of course. No Superwide or Ultrawide, I really don't like those. I'm making a shortlist, the display will be 95% for gaming. The market doesn't seem to be swimming with options, to be honest. And I won'd be shelling out 2000$ on the monitor alone, not with what I already spent.

Good question. I also ordered an ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 4090 (non-OC) a few days ago and I'm thinking about getting a 4K display for it.

Oh! I missed your post yesterday. Congratulations for your new GPU.

Overclocked Intel Sapphire Rapids Xeon Workstation CPUs Paired With NVIDIA RTX 4090 Require Up To 2000W Power

The Ally could be a beast of a machine, but we'll see how Asus prices it.

Of course Nvidia isn't in a hurry to lower prices. They'll only consider that if sales beyond the launch period fall behind their expectations, and that's only if AMD manages to release something new that stirs competition, not lowering the price of old parts.

As for the last bit, yeah, it's an insane amount of power, but who the F would overclock a workstation CPU?
