| Shaunodon said: Samsung SSDs are overpriced for gaming, you could've got almost 3TB for the same price with cheaper options (1TB for OS drive, 2TB as a game drive). Air cooling a 9800X3D might get a bit loud but not a big deal if your case has good airflow and acoustics. Outside of that pretty much pefect. My build--(in progress. I have the GPU, the rest of the parts just went on sale and will be ready for pickup in 2-3 weeks): CPU: 9800X3D GPU: Red Devil RX 9070 XT RAM: XPG Lancer Blade 32GB DDR5 6000MT CL30 Storage: TeamGroup MP44L 1TB, WD Blue SN580 2TB CPU Cooler: Phanteks Glacier One 360M25 G2 PSU: Phanteks AMP 1000W 80P Platinum Mobo: For now I've settled on the Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite. I want to splurge on an X870 board (Gigabyte Aorus or Asus Rog Strix) but they're either not available or way overpriced. We'll see in the next week. Case/Fans: Phanteks G400A + 3 Reverse fans + Nexlinq Hub. Monitor: I wanted a relatively cheap IPS screen but the AOC Q27G3ZE (non-curved) isn't in stock anywhere after not being on the market for even half a year. Looking like I'll have to go OLED, something between AOC Q27G4ZD and LG UltraGear 27GS95QE-B. |
Indeed the SSD Samsung was expensive, but I was tossing up on either Storage or Speed, and I figured I don't have too many things installed on my PC and the Gen 5 SSD is twice as fast as a Gen 4 as it's PCIE 5. I will probably grab a 2 TB M.2 down the road when needed.
The X870E was also Incredibly expensive however to run the Gen 5 SSD, it's one of afew motherboards than can run both PCIE 5 GPU and SSD Simultaneously without bottlenecking.
Your PC sounds very good, going AMD I notice aswell.
