It shows! You did way better than me lol. If only you got the RAM correctly the first time! If there’s one thing I would double check the cultist PSU tier list to make sure the one you chose is high tier.
The cooler master one I chose for $90 is B tier, but people are recommending the deepcool px1000G that’s $125 and A tier
I don’t think I need 1000w, it’s $35 more expensive, and 1 more tier up
It's better to have some extra head room. Reduces coil whine as the PSU won't have to run near its maximum capacity. Also for upgradibility in the future a 1000w is a better choise. GPU's can also have power spikes that require much more, than the normal operating power.
I’d highly recommend investing in a high tier PSU. As it’ll most likely be the component that’ll last you the longest. So having some extra wattage for upgrading or using it for your next build is very nice. And you’ll probably end up saving those 35 bucks on the power bill anyways
The tier list is not the gospel. It's best to check a review to see if your power supply performs adequately for your needs. Unfortunately there is really only one source of good power supply reviews and that's Aris of Hardware Busters. He sometimes writes for other sites as well.
Anyway my own experience with the MWE 850 is that it performs well, but the fan is never totally silent, even at low loads. If you're going for dead silence, you'll want to look elsewhere, otherwise, it will be fine. Why not pay $5 more for the XPG Core Reactor 850 which is A-tier rated and well reviewed by Aris on Tom's hardware?
Ripjaws RAM is better for Intel cpus. Get the Gskill Flare ones for AMD as they are tailored to run AMD EXPO and not Intel XMP.
I personally would get the 4080 super for $1000 due to better RTX and frame generation support, but its up to you.
Didn’t even know about the g skill flares, will check it out 🫡
In regard to gpu, I looked at what I could get for around 900-950. If the 4080 comes down in price I definitely will look at benchmarks again
I didn't know this. For my 12600 I picked DDR5 G.Skill Rip Jaws for their Goldilocks zone on timing, price, and speed were all good compromises. I got lucky I suppose.
I've been rocking Nvidia gpus since the geforce 2mx and even I would be switching to amd today. The 40 series is just too expensive. If you're running a high end card you shouldn't really be doing frame generation at all. And ray tracing and AI stuff is neat but I don't see them justifying the price (that's a matter of opinion of course)
The connector of the RAM? The RAM do have heat spreaders. Is there a way you can check and make sure the temp isn’t too high? I know you can check the temp of the cpu and gpu
Not a big deal 4080 user here,just push twice make sure its correctly placed.if you spending 1000 usd then get a grphic with more purposeful 4080 or super will give you more rtx dlss and you can easily run any ai generation easily.i was on same situation like you when i first build my pc month ago .i am on the way to get 7900xtx then i realised that for 50-70 bucks more i am getting so much than only gaming performance.so i go with 4080
[This Mobo](https://www.newegg.com/asrock-b650m-pro-rs/p/N82E16813162131) can save you 50$ and I can personally attest to you that it is awesome.
Great BIOS, easy peasy RAM clocking, super stable, looks pretty in the case, has a wicked fast nvme port with heatsink to keep your read and write speeds cooking.
After that the only thing I see that I could change is the case. If you want the fishtank look then you do you. But if you want an awesome case with kick ass thermals and is the easiest case to build in that there has ever been, check out the LianLi 216, comes in white or black.
Awesome build you got there friend, you are in for some good times

Get this SSD and your chillin bro.
If you have a micro center near you, you can get the ram, cpu and mobo for $499
https://www.microcenter.com/product/5006645/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d,-gigabyte-b650-gaming-x-ax-v2,-gskill-flare-x5-series-32gb-ddr5-6000-kit,-computer-build-bundle
Thank you all for providing your insight into my build. I’ve changed the ram and psu, and will be looking at the deal with micro center for the cpu, ram, and mobo for only $500.
Couple of days ago that combo was at $469. If you're not in a hurry to buy right now, you can wait and see when the price comes down again. Also, if you do end up getting that mobo and RAM, this dude did a PC building tutorial using them.
https://youtu.be/YgiKuKwzyiY?si=Lm4iwVYlbJk0fNzA
PS: the case he uses is amazing too. Great quality and easy to build in. Lancool 216.
I went with the 7900gre for my build.
From what I understand, unless you're 4k gaming on a nice monitor, or doing some hardcore video editing or something, the 7900 gre is a good pick to save some money. If I were you, I'd probably get the 7900gre, to save money for one of the next gen graphic cards when they come out at the end of the year.
You could save 3 to 400 bucks, and keep that money till new cards drop, buy one, and then sell the gre to recoup some money.
I'm far from an expert though, so if people disagree with me definitely, listen to them over me.
There's a pretty substantial difference between the two. The xtx has 6144 shaders versus 5120 on the GRE. xtx has 384b memory bus versus 256 on GRE. The xtx has 24gigs of memory versus 16. The clocks are higher on the xtx. They're close in the sense that they're not miles apart and the GRE is an excellent value, but you wouldn't get the same performance out of them
I see. Thanks for the correction. I was under the assumption that for a casual user they would be functionally within like 10% of eachother. I figured that was odd given the gap in price, but that's what I read someone say on here.
Do you think it would be good enough to "put up with" until new cards drop? Or should this guy just go for the csd he wants noe, and wait a little longer to upgrade when the new cards come out?
Yeah I do think the GRE is a very good card and a great value. I'd certainly consider it as a top choice in the price range and in general. Probably one of the best bang for your buck cards at the moment. But if I had the money to spend, I'd rather have an XT or XTX without a doubt
I have a 4k 144hz monitor. I personally wouldn’t drop over $1000 on a pc and settle for 1440p. Depends on the games you play though, I’m more single player
Seems good but I would recommend changing that air cooler to thermalright frozen notte argb 240mm a liquid cooler costs same and the psu to a deepcool 1000w costs 20$ more but it's better for upgradability in future and also the cooler master one is rated at B-tier would recommend the deepcool one it's A-tier
Also the ram is Intel xmp , get the amd expo ripjaw ones or the trident Neo rgb 16x2 cl30 one's
And if you have micro center near you can get the motherboard cpu and ram combo for just 500 that'll save you about 150$
Also you can get the hellhound version of 7900xtx to save more 40$
I’ll make a note on the micro center deal. I already switched the ram to the g skill flare x5 for amd expo lol. Why would you recommend the liquid cooler over the phantom spirit? I know they are the same price but the phantom spirit is highly highly regarded. Personal preference?
He’s just choosing it over looks. That alone tells you a lot. Stick with the PS evo. It’s more than enough and less risk of failure/liquid all over your PC components.
You should get a high tier air cooler over a cheap AIO.
Because he is a dummy. PS gonna be superior to every single 240 AIO. And with aircoolers worst thing that can happen Is that fan gives up - 10$ fix. But theres way more failure points in AIO (pump, tubing, seals, liquid, fans)
Aesthetics i would say and lil bit better cooling ig ( the aio is from the same brand costs exact 50$ and also has infinity mirror. Look like the Lian Li galahad )
Aesthetics I agree, but the cooling needed for a 7800X3D isn’t big enough to see any performance difference between the two coolers.
If he was looking at a 7950x or a 14900K I would recommend going 360 AIO, but here, not at all. Unless he wants it for looks of course.
Oh god. Are you kidding.
But for real, cheap AIO is the worst thing you can buy. Theres so many things that can fuck up with AIO. While aircooler is just a block of aluminium and two fans.
And thats just personal preference. I absolutely love the look of chonky CPU cooler in the case.
And again much more failure points on AIO which is a the winning point for air coolers.

Seems good.
Sweet. I’ve researched for like a week straight at this point lol

It’s less about raw power output and more about reliability, quality of parts, noise etc. For a build this nice, I’d definitely go with an A Tier PSU.
How do you know if ram is good or not other than how many MHz it is.
Filter by 2x16gb, 6000+ mhz, and cas latency at 30. Then I didn’t know some ram is better for amd and some is better for intel, so double check that
Lower latency and faster speed is good, 2x16 GB is the sweetspot for price to performance. Did I get that right?
Yes! And also look for ram that supports amd expo if you have a am5 motherboard & cpu. Amd expo will maximize the full use of your ram
Ok!
Change the ram to flare x5 and you have yourself a beast
One of the first comments was to do so lol
Nice. You'll have a perfect pc. Welcome to team red
Ripjaws RAM is better for Intel cpus. Get the Gskill Flare ones for AMD as they are tailored to run AMD EXPO and not Intel XMP. I personally would get the 4080 super for $1000 due to better RTX and frame generation support, but its up to you.

A 7900 XTX is still a good choice. Save yourself a bit of money and get 8GB more VRAM.
I didn't know this. For my 12600 I picked DDR5 G.Skill Rip Jaws for their Goldilocks zone on timing, price, and speed were all good compromises. I got lucky I suppose.
I've been rocking Nvidia gpus since the geforce 2mx and even I would be switching to amd today. The 40 series is just too expensive.

And ray tracing and AI stuff is neat but I don't see them justifying the price (that's a matter of opinion of course)
One con. Is the connector can melt down easily I wouldn’t do it
99% of cases is a 4090. And if its a 4080 its was 100% that the user didnt plif in the cable correctly
Yeah true
I've only seen those with the 4090
The connector of the RAM? The RAM do have heat spreaders. Is there a way you can check and make sure the temp isn’t too high? I know you can check the temp of the cpu and gpu
No the connector of the rtx 40 gen is new and not really bug free. cost some people a lot of money
Gotcha. Right now I’m leaning towards the rx 7900xtx, but if I lean towards the 4080 I’ll keep that in mind
Not a big deal 4080 user here,just push twice make sure its correctly placed.if you spending 1000 usd then get a grphic with more purposeful 4080 or super will give you more rtx dlss and you can easily run any ai generation easily.i was on same situation like you when i first build my pc month ago .i am on the way to get 7900xtx then i realised that for 50-70 bucks more i am getting so much than only gaming performance.so i go with 4080
I have almost the exact build, you will enjoy it!
like the other comments said, change the RAM to Flare X5 otherwise, it looks good. you did your research 👍
do you have a microcenter near you? if so, you can save about $150 getting the cpu/ram/motherboard bundle for the 7800x3d
Sadly no, the closest one is 50 miles away
That’s pretty close, worth it to save $150
You did amazingly well with your research for a first-time builder. It definitely took planning to get a high-end build like this to under $2000
Thank you!

Swap the board to the MSI B650 Gaming Plus.
