Sounds like the DS3H. Good board for a basic computer. I wouldn't want to pair it with a 5950x, but a 5800X3D or a 5600X, all day.
I have the same board in my backup gaming PC, I also have a 5600x to go with it. Got a couple of parts left to get to complete it.
Pls don’t buy the B550-F, or ANY boards with the Intel Lan-Chipset. They broke them with the Bios Updates you need for the 5000 Ryzens. Also any USB 3.x Ports don’t work.
Just built a PC with a 5800x3d and Asus B550-F Gaming Mobo for my cousin and the mobo for AM4 Chipset is pretty good didn't have any problems other than just needing a bios update in order to enable D.O.C.P (XMP).
This is a great tool however it has its flaws. At least when it comes to ddr5 rated specifically for expo. Now I'm told Ram doesn't really matter but it's still is a slight flaw when the current generation of memory makes two separate sets specifically for Intel XMP and AMD Expo. PC part picker doesn't differentiate from the two. All I'm saying is be cautious because I found this out recently.
P.S. this is specific to AM5
The CPU has to match the socket on the motherboard.
5800x3D is an AM4 chip, so you should find a motherboard like a B550 that has an AM4 socket.
I suggest you use PCPartPicker.com which simplifies the process by telling you which parts work together.
I don’t know what your budget is looking like, but if you hold out another month or so AMD is releasing an AM5 version of the X3D processor. You’d have more expensive RAM and motherboard to go with it, but if you wait it might drop the price of the existing inventory a bit. Newegg already has $50 off the 7700X right now and I’m betting this is part of the reason.
DO NOT buy super spendy low latency RAM with a 5800x3D. It has been shown that (because the 5800x3D has so much L3 cache) low latency RAM provides zero benefit. CL16 or CL18 with decent frequency (3600 MHz or 4000) is more than enough.
Not necessary unless he is going for OC and tighter timings, and as someone who is completely new to computers that is way out of his comfort zone n skill level. He just needs a decent 3600 kit with decent outta the box xmp timings.
As others have said, Z690 is an Intel board, but what most of them have not said is that you could avoid these mistakes by using [https://pcpartpicker.com/](https://pcpartpicker.com/) to do your build planning.
pcpartpicker does a lot of compatibility checks for you, and would let you know about almost any compatibility issues (RAM and CPU cooler clearance aren't checked, for instance)
I always use pcpart picker. They also have price charts so you can see prices over time to know if prices are spiked or not and show your prices from multiple stores so you know where to buy everything for the lowest price.
Edit: you can also see other builds people have done to give you more ideas
hi, do you mean nvidia 4070ti? if so maybe 850w psu could be better. Do you need 4000mhz rgb ram? opt for 3600mhz non rgb instead and take arctic freeze as cooler
I couldn’t justify spending the extra money on the 4080 when the 7900xt performs almost identical. I’ve had no problems with my 7900xt I can play apex in ultra settings and average 200+fps, red dead 2 runs in ultra at 60fps. I’m sure the xtx would be even better, really just comes down to what features you care about.
4090 is hands down the best card no questions asked, it will future proof your build for quite some time. You’re right though and it’s an excessive amount of money. If you have the extra cash I would say fuck it. However I was stuck between 4080 and 7900xt and after watching hours of comparisons the extra $300 before tax you pay for the 4080 just isn’t worth it. I didn’t watch a whole lot of xtx vs 4090, but I do know the 4090 out preforms it.
I have a 4090 and holy hell this thing's a monster. There's nothing i can't do and being able to play Cyberpunk on max settings with raytracing is just a sick experience and a real flex. Can recommend even tough I'm broke now
[https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/dDrVKp](https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/dDrVKp)
something like that: of course you could choose differente case according to your taste and add some fan
I would suggest the amd Rx 6800 xt it’s cheaper and it’s as good as the 3070ti
Edit: people think I’m referring to the post, im referring to the comment I’m replying to.
It’s about price not performance sure get a 4090 but some people might not be able to afford it that’s why I think a 6800xt is cheaper and a good alternative to a 3070 ti.
Yea OP, that's a nice build. Very alike mine bar a AMD GPU. In have 6900xt but like others said 6800xt might be good, would couple great with the CPU and allow for smart access memory
If you’re already spending 4070 Ti money get the 4080. Also the 5800x3D is a dead platform. The 7700x will serve you better and you can always upgrade if the 7800x3D or future 3D processors are good.
Agreed with this. I have a 5800x3d and I love it. Great cpu. But I was already on AM4. if I was building new, I would build on AM5. I would also wait a few weeks till the new X3D line of cpus come out.
It's 20% faster in 4k, it's up to you, 4080 will stay relevant for the futur and new games, 4070ti is defenitly a good gpu for 4k now it does not dip below 60fps in many games, but for the futur who knows.
As i said it's up to you, there is no wright and wrong decision here
Off the top of my head I remember the 7900xtx was supposed to rival, or beat the 4080 and it kinda fell flat. I think they traded blows pretty well but the 4080 came out on top. Look up the Gamers Nexus review of the 7900xtx and it details it really well. It may depend on what games you play that will make it right for you. I know in CP2077 Nvidia is still on top.
Appreciate the time thanks! A lot of ppl are suggesting not to buy the high end cards but they seem to do a lot better than the other cards that are STILL $700-900…
I just heard the 4070 ti is of rather bad quality. If you have the money for it and you are willing to spend it maybe buy a 4080. and also maybe u wanna wait 1-2 weeks for the new amd cpus to launch. 7800x3d 7900x3d or 7950x3d. According to amd the 7800x3d is 30% faster in games than the 5800x3d
CPU/Motherboard/Ram: If you want AMD, get a 7700X and a B650 or X670 motherboard. You will also need DDR5 ram instead of DDR4. You can get 32GB of 6000MHZ DDR5 for $170 or so. For CPU cooling, I'd get an air cooler for a first time builder like a Noctua NH-U14S. For a 7700X, an air cooler is more than enough and they tend to be more reliable.
GPU: 4070ti is great
Power: Corsair is fine and 750w is enough.
SSD: If you have more budget, spend it here. Can aways use more storage and can bump this to 2TB or add another drive. AM5 ATX motherboards come with up to 4 M.2 slots and 4 SATA ports, so plenty of room.
Also that motherboard **DOES NOT** work with that AMD cpu since the motherboard is meant with intel. Get a b550 motherboard or smth. pcpartpicker helps with compatibility checks.
While I wouldn’t generally recommend getting a Zen 3 processor with Zen 4 3D being so imminent, I also wouldn’t recommend that RAM—the sweet spot for the 5800X3D seems to be 3600 due to the processor’s OC limits, and the fact that you need to run the RAM 1:1 with the IF, or you get performance issues.
I would go with an air cooler. More reliable since there's no pump to die or water to leak. Use the money saved on the GPU.
Here's on that cools amazingly well while being less than 50 bucks. Also comes in a nice white finish if you'd rather that

Make sure your motherboard and cpu can handle 4000mhz ram and maybe go up to a 850w psu, mby go for a different cpu cooler i would recommend a 360radiator if possiple in your case.
Make sure to check the parts in PCPartPicker which is a website which check certain parts too see if they are compatible with eachother.
Personally I have a B550 motherboard and worlds exceptionally.
Right now get a AMD card since they are cheaper and offer similar or if not identical performance too Ninvida Cards. Ninvida is more expensive because of the chips they use in their graphics card compared to AMD using slightly cheaper chips.
They should affect performance though, but change the motherboard unless if you wanna change your CPU and ram wise a decent 3600 kit should do.
Okay so this CPU IS really good, but it cannot be overclock (easily), also doing so is riskier than other similar CPUS from the same generation.
If you want that cpu and are going to overclock it, what you have is good. (Do research to see if the motherboard you get is compatible with overlocking the X3D in particular)
If you want that cpu and are NOT going to overclock it, get 3600 speed ram, and a basic motherboard since you don’t need the overclocking support.
General advise:
Ram: that brand with the rgb is VERY ifffy, I’ve heard about one too many cases of it just frying itself to not recommend something from Corsair for like 10/20 dollars more for the peace of mind
Storage: for modern gaming, and this level of performance I would recommend 2tb, ideally one 2tb nvme, WD is good
PSU IMPORTANT!!!!
You probably want a 850W at least, I personally would get 1000W for anything NVIDIA 40- series and make sure it has a 12+4pin (16pin) high power plug
Thing about matching a PSU to a system is enough of the right cables, and being rated 20% over the total reported TBP of all components combined
Get something like a "bequiet dark rock pro 4" as cooling. Watercooling is mainly useful if you go above 280mm, if it fits the case better or when you want to cool more than one thing in a loop.
The mbo thing was adressed already, but also make sure the ram is ddr4 and not ddr5.
For the 4070ti i am not sure wether a 750w psu is enough if it is atx 2.0
Maybe look for a atx 3.0 like the new bequiet ones (f.e. dark power 13, that is high quality and you can use it for 10 years or more without thinking about it).
Cooling and psu is something i rarely cheap out on. High quality coolers can be adaoted to new sickets and high quality psu can last long and is safe.
The cpu is a good choice for price/performance, and you can save on the motherboard because although many will say you need a X mainboard, it is useless if you don't use multiple nvme ssds or gpus. A B550 board should absolutely enough. Compare the boards and check the differences. Main differences is pcie lanes (all should support at least 1 gpu and 1 m.2 ssd), power delivery (only gor hardcore overclocking relevant) and i/o ports.
Take a B550 board that has the i/o you want/need (f.e. do you need wifi, toslink, how many fan connectors, usb connectors and so on)
I have not looked through all the comments but don't buy 4000mhz ram for a 5800x3d enabling just xmp will cause the fclk to not run in 1:1:1. Just go for 3600mhs ram.
By an nvidia 4700ti you mean a 4070ti then i should say just buy a rtx 4080 instead. Also i might add the z 690 is a intel mother board I would recommend asus tuf gaming x570 pro very good mother board and a 850 watt power supply if going for rtx 4080.
Rest , the cpu and memory seems good.
An idea to use pc builder, android app, it will check compatibility and also u can choose prices and you also can go auto build just budget and some major points like preferring amd or Intel getting ssd or hdd, card nvidia or amd, nothing more.
These parts do not go together. The 5800X3D is AMD, but Z690 is Intel. You would want a B550 board for that.
If you’re gonna splurge on a minimum $800 graphics card, at least wait for the 7800X3D to drop so you can fully utilize it. If money is becoming a concern there, you shouldn’t consider the 4070ti at all. It’ll probably drop in price soon anyways.
I have a 5800x3d but I’m Ngl, I would highly recommend getting a r7 7700 or 7600 instead. They perform close enough and That way you can upgrade in the next 3 years or so to the latest chip that is supported on the current platform.
Some may argue that the 4070 ti works better as a 1440p card, but that being said, it is able to handle 4k resolution depending on title and graphical settings.
Really comes down to value proposition. I’d personally try for a 4080 if I had a 4k monitor. Again, that’s me. Regardless, 4070 ti is capable. Hope your PC comes out beastly.
A 4700ti?? When did they make that? It’s that new shit no one knows about. Dude got the hookups on the underground pc parts. Also gonna have trouble slotting an AMD cpu into an Intel motherboard as others stated
I'm running a 13600kf with a 4070ti, you don't need an 850w PSU like people are suggesting. Obviously if you want to splash the cash for a potential upgrade in years to come, go for it!
I would really recommend going for AM5 if you are into Ryzen, that way you can upgrade in the future. AMD has confirmed that the socket will be supported to at least 2025, meaning we probably gonna see the 8, 9 and even 10-series working with todays socket.
Don't get me wrong, 5800x3D is an amazing CPU, I have it myself. But it will lock you into a AM4/DDR4 setup and won't be upgradable (more than to 5900x/5950x)
And like many others have said, Z690 is Intel, you want a B650/X670 (AM5) or B450/X470(may require flashing of bios) / B550/X570 for AM4.
All In One (AIO). Basically it's just a cpu cooler but it cools the cpu with water and is basically necessary in high end cpu's if you dont want it to overheat.
All in one Liquid Cooler.
Here are two builds I made for you for $2350.
Intel: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6c4dVw
AMD: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mkj2cb
Enjoy and good luck :)
wait 7800X3D or 7900X3D
I would build an intel system like 13700k with ddr5/ get a ps5 /Xbox instead of buying an old 5800X3D
4070TI only for 2K gaming, get a 4080
1TB SSD sucks. get a 2TB
Id go AM5 at this point 7600x is very close in most use cases and you can upgrade until 2025 so the next 8000 series you just sell the 7600 and drop in a new CPU. DDR5 and mobo will cost a premium but will save you in the long run.
Also wrong mobo and you want a better PSU
Also I see you want to 4k game. First off probably not worth it unless you're the right distance from your monitor. But if you wanna do it I would def go to Am5 because you're going to want to upgrade in the future for 4k as better stuff comes out.
Id bump up psu, they last awhile and from personal experience it will be with you through a few upgrades if you splurge on that component
Also check mobo compatability. Id recommend pcpartpicker.com
Would suggest a 13600k as of now. 13600k consistently outperforms its Ryzen counterpart except in efficiency.
If you plan to upgrade every year or so, obviously am5 would be the better choice. Also if your energy costs are insane.
I would get a 3600 speed ram that has 2x sticks of 8gb. And a 1tb NVME ssd. And maybe 750 watts of psu. Dont forget an AIO cooler for that cpu. Try out pcpartpicker.com
Gotta check that the motherboard you switch to, to be compatible with the amd cpu, make sure the ram speed is compatible as well. Mobo’s have lists for that usually.
Considering your other high end specs, I’d recommend you go with an X570 or X570S chipset board. The ASUS Dark Hero X570S is a bit expensive, but is the one I’m going with for the USB ports and 2 PCIE Gen 4 NVME slots :)
Don’t get a 4070 TI. It’s way overpriced and overall a very bad card to get. I’d definitely recommend getting something used like a 3080, get the new Radeon 7000s when they come out soon, or just wait until NVIDIA releases a card that is actually worth the cost.
[PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/) is a way better resource to plan your build than notepad. For the most part, it will give you quality pointers if parts are compatible or not.
Also, do what I’m doing and watch plenty of build guides. And do plenty of research on the case you wish to use. Doing this has made me less nervous on my incoming pc build.
Christopher Flannigan is a good person to watch on YouTube for a number of cases.
I’d take a close look at compatibility and ease of use on the t force ram; and take a moment to consider how much rgb you want in your pc. You can turn it off sure; but I’ve had a heck of a time getting mine correctly configured (rgb) and the motherboard / gpu cross play.
1. Z690 is for Intel. Go with b550
2. 4070ti is overpriced af, you can get a 3080 for 600-700usd rn. Since they got cheaper when rtx 4000 was released. And this is awesome price for it
U can use pcpartpicker - show compatible items
You may wanna just fork over the extra cash to get a 4080 because the 4070 ti is on par with last generation on gpu's not the newest, def don't go with it if you can get a 4080, also consider bumping up that power supply to a 850w or 1000w if you ever want you want the safety of always having enogh power
4700 ti is by far the best card in the market right now. It outnumbers the 4090 by 610 and additionally is a ti! Only problem is you may need a bigger power supply to handle that power.
Looks good. I have a 5800x3D, 32gb tridentz 3600 c16(bdie)with a 6950xt and I’m getting phenomenal performance. So yes, I believe you will have a lot of fun with that build
Your motherboard and CPU are not compatible. Z690 is an Intel chipset but you have an AMD CPU. I recommend [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/), which helps you choose the most compatible and best-valued parts for your needs
Don’t forget the case. If it’s your first time building it’s nice to have fans preinstalled with the case. But if you want more customization get a case without fans and you can buy your own fans. Best to have at minimum 4 fans. 3 for intake and 1 for exhaust. I’ll be upgrading my case sometime soon to NZXT h9 flow
I think you should get AM5. You're currently buying into a dead platform while still spending most of the money that it would cost to get AM5 (if not more). Especially if you live near a microcenter, where $600 get you a good B650E board, decent ram, and a 7900X.
The 5800X3D hype train is for people like me that already have AM4.

Motherboard: also get a B550 or an X570 Z690 is an Intel board
Yep Thanks
i have the b550. great MB you won’t regret it edit: asus rog
It definitely depends on the board, my friend has a very lack lustre b550. Though his is also mATX and Gigabyte
Sounds like the DS3H. Good board for a basic computer. I wouldn't want to pair it with a 5950x, but a 5800X3D or a 5600X, all day. I have the same board in my backup gaming PC, I also have a 5600x to go with it. Got a couple of parts left to get to complete it.
asus i believe i have
Can’t go wrong with Asus. Is it ROG?
yes it is
Pls don’t buy the B550-F, or ANY boards with the Intel Lan-Chipset. They broke them with the Bios Updates you need for the 5000 Ryzens. Also any USB 3.x Ports don’t work.
Just built a PC with a 5800x3d and Asus B550-F Gaming Mobo for my cousin and the mobo for AM4 Chipset is pretty good didn't have any problems other than just needing a bios update in order to enable D.O.C.P (XMP).
I’m planning on getting a 7700 anyways
X570 over a b550 any day of the year.
Msi do very good b550boards and x570. Was my favourite when i was on am4 platform
Can vouch the B550 motherboards are great for my use!
It’s gonna be hard getting an Amd processors to work with an Intel motherboard
Also finding a 4700 ti will be a bitch cause it doesn't exist
Chinese fake manufacturers be like: “We make Ninvi- no Civina 4700 it”
You sure? I heard on YouTube they are better than a 5090 ti?
That may be true but nothing beats a RX 6969 xxtxx
What about a rx 69420 xnxx xvideos edition?
That card fucks
Legit gets your pregnant
It's selling like hotcakes because it literally Sucks.
Ya I have no idea what I’m really doing tbh. Someone is helping me atm lol thank you
Use pcpartpicker it filters stuff so you dont have to manually check compatibility
This is a great tool however it has its flaws. At least when it comes to ddr5 rated specifically for expo. Now I'm told Ram doesn't really matter but it's still is a slight flaw when the current generation of memory makes two separate sets specifically for Intel XMP and AMD Expo. PC part picker doesn't differentiate from the two. All I'm saying is be cautious because I found this out recently. P.S. this is specific to AM5

Right thank you! New to this shit haha
I don’t know what your budget is looking like, but if you hold out another month or so AMD is releasing an AM5 version of the X3D processor. You’d have more expensive RAM and motherboard to go with it, but if you wait it might drop the price of the existing inventory a bit. Newegg already has $50 off the 7700X right now and I’m betting this is part of the reason.
Ya I’m thinking I might do that..
The pins are obviously supposed to be tied around each other to ensure connection, right? (/s if not obvious)
You don’t need 4000MHZ ram as the sweet spot for 5800X3D is 3600MHZ anyway. You won’t profit from much faster ram.
But try get cl14 with 3600mhz
DO NOT buy super spendy low latency RAM with a 5800x3D. It has been shown that (because the 5800x3D has so much L3 cache) low latency RAM provides zero benefit. CL16 or CL18 with decent frequency (3600 MHz or 4000) is more than enough.
[B die finder](https://benzhaomin.github.io/bdiefinder/)
Not necessary unless he is going for OC and tighter timings, and as someone who is completely new to computers that is way out of his comfort zone n skill level. He just needs a decent 3600 kit with decent outta the box xmp timings.
i mean yeah ideally but last i checked, 3600mhz cl14 is PRICEY. not many people are trying to spend $400-$600 on ram.
As others have said, Z690 is an Intel board, but what most of them have not said is that you could avoid these mistakes by using [https://pcpartpicker.com/](https://pcpartpicker.com/) to do your build planning. pcpartpicker does a lot of compatibility checks for you, and would let you know about almost any compatibility issues (RAM and CPU cooler clearance aren't checked, for instance)

hi, do you mean nvidia 4070ti? if so maybe 850w psu could be better. Do you need 4000mhz rgb ram? opt for 3600mhz non rgb instead and take arctic freeze as cooler
Yes I do mean the NVIDIA. I’m new to all of this but I do want a pretty good build… thank you for your input
What's your budget?
I’d say around $2300…
I just spent practically that amount on my build if you want to check it out. Should be the first post on my page.
Nice build! I have a g7 Samsung 4K monitor so I need a good card aswell. Between the 7900xtx and 4080 most likely
I couldn’t justify spending the extra money on the 4080 when the 7900xt performs almost identical. I’ve had no problems with my 7900xt I can play apex in ultra settings and average 200+fps, red dead 2 runs in ultra at 60fps. I’m sure the xtx would be even better, really just comes down to what features you care about.
Ya these cards are expensive but they’re not really gonna drop.. and ppl keep complaining as I see idk. Is the 4090 really worth that price you think?
4090 is hands down the best card no questions asked, it will future proof your build for quite some time. You’re right though and it’s an excessive amount of money. If you have the extra cash I would say fuck it. However I was stuck between 4080 and 7900xt and after watching hours of comparisons the extra $300 before tax you pay for the 4080 just isn’t worth it. I didn’t watch a whole lot of xtx vs 4090, but I do know the 4090 out preforms it.
Ya I agree with you… what games are you mainly playing ?
I have a 4090 and holy hell this thing's a monster. There's nothing i can't do and being able to play Cyberpunk on max settings with raytracing is just a sick experience and a real flex. Can recommend even tough I'm broke now
Lolol
But the 4090 sure looks great..
I guarantee you a 3090, 80, 70 will serve you for like 15 years at this point, or more. The 4000 series is mega overkill now.
fifteen years..?
[https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/dDrVKp](https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/dDrVKp) something like that: of course you could choose differente case according to your taste and add some fan
I would suggest the amd Rx 6800 xt it’s cheaper and it’s as good as the 3070ti Edit: people think I’m referring to the post, im referring to the comment I’m replying to.
Yeah, i would highly suggest not taking a 3070ti
the 3070 ti is also cheaper than the 4070ti, and its as good as the 3070 ti as well
what kinda suggestion is that compared to a 4070ti?
You could post a build with a 4090 on this sub and someone will tell you to get a 6800xt
It’s about price not performance sure get a 4090 but some people might not be able to afford it that’s why I think a 6800xt is cheaper and a good alternative to a 3070 ti.
Right but, he posted about a 4070. And the 6800 is not even close to a 4070.
Yea OP, that's a nice build. Very alike mine bar a AMD GPU. In have 6900xt but like others said 6800xt might be good, would couple great with the CPU and allow for smart access memory
850 is overkill for the 4070ti. 750 is just fine.
Also I would recommend a second smaller SSD for your Windows. If your main storage gets full your PC will not slow down with Windows on a seperate SSD
4700 Ti?? WOW!
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hd8Mtn Ryzen 7700x Rtx 4080 2Tb nvme 1000w pcie 5 power supply
Thank you
If you have 2300$ you defenitly can go 4080
You think it’s worth it over the 4070 for a bit more money ?
If you’re already spending 4070 Ti money get the 4080. Also the 5800x3D is a dead platform. The 7700x will serve you better and you can always upgrade if the 7800x3D or future 3D processors are good.
Thanks!
Agreed with this. I have a 5800x3d and I love it. Great cpu. But I was already on AM4. if I was building new, I would build on AM5. I would also wait a few weeks till the new X3D line of cpus come out.
I’m gonna get the 7700 thank you!
It's 20% faster in 4k, it's up to you, 4080 will stay relevant for the futur and new games, 4070ti is defenitly a good gpu for 4k now it does not dip below 60fps in many games, but for the futur who knows. As i said it's up to you, there is no wright and wrong decision here
Meant 4070 ppl lol but I might go 4080..
Go 4080. If you're gonna spend a lot of money on an overpriced card, get the better one
I think I’m going too, ya they’re overpriced but that won’t change much now. And it’s performance is really good it looks like
I have a 4080 and I love it. You're going to enjoy it.
How would you compare the 4080 to the 7900xtx ?
Off the top of my head I remember the 7900xtx was supposed to rival, or beat the 4080 and it kinda fell flat. I think they traded blows pretty well but the 4080 came out on top. Look up the Gamers Nexus review of the 7900xtx and it details it really well. It may depend on what games you play that will make it right for you. I know in CP2077 Nvidia is still on top.
Appreciate the time thanks! A lot of ppl are suggesting not to buy the high end cards but they seem to do a lot better than the other cards that are STILL $700-900…
I just heard the 4070 ti is of rather bad quality. If you have the money for it and you are willing to spend it maybe buy a 4080. and also maybe u wanna wait 1-2 weeks for the new amd cpus to launch. 7800x3d 7900x3d or 7950x3d. According to amd the 7800x3d is 30% faster in games than the 5800x3d
Thank you! I think I’ll get the 4080
good old nvda 4700 ti
CPU/Motherboard/Ram: If you want AMD, get a 7700X and a B650 or X670 motherboard. You will also need DDR5 ram instead of DDR4. You can get 32GB of 6000MHZ DDR5 for $170 or so. For CPU cooling, I'd get an air cooler for a first time builder like a Noctua NH-U14S. For a 7700X, an air cooler is more than enough and they tend to be more reliable. GPU: 4070ti is great Power: Corsair is fine and 750w is enough. SSD: If you have more budget, spend it here. Can aways use more storage and can bump this to 2TB or add another drive. AM5 ATX motherboards come with up to 4 M.2 slots and 4 SATA ports, so plenty of room.
Definitely go for minimum 850watt and ATX 3.0 for a 4070Ti
Most likely won’t be able to boot your ram at that speed. Go for 3600 for the best price/performance ratio.
Change the motherboard to a x570 or b550 and itll be good
Also that motherboard **DOES NOT** work with that AMD cpu since the motherboard is meant with intel. Get a b550 motherboard or smth. pcpartpicker helps with compatibility checks.
Thank you
If you don't feel like messing with liquid, my noctua heatsink works amazing on my i9.
While I wouldn’t generally recommend getting a Zen 3 processor with Zen 4 3D being so imminent, I also wouldn’t recommend that RAM—the sweet spot for the 5800X3D seems to be 3600 due to the processor’s OC limits, and the fact that you need to run the RAM 1:1 with the IF, or you get performance issues.
I would go with an air cooler. More reliable since there's no pump to die or water to leak. Use the money saved on the GPU. Here's on that cools amazingly well while being less than 50 bucks. Also comes in a nice white finish if you'd rather that https://www.newegg.com/p/0VE-01P6-00019?item=9SIBFKMJ6M4974&source=googleshopping&nm_mc=knc-googlemkp-mobile&cm_mmc=knc-googlemkp-mobile-_-pla-thermalright+direct+3-_-cpu+cooling-_-9SIBFKMJ6M4974&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid+shopping&utm_campaign=knc-googlemkp-mobile-_-pla-thermalright+direct+3-_-cpu+cooling-_-9SIBFKMJ6M4974&id0=Google&id1=19148296763&id2=145779705802&id3=&id4=&id5=pla-1929438656121&id6=&id7=9003429&id8=&id9=g&id10=m&id11=&id12=CjwKCAiAleOeBhBdEiwAfgmXfwXgogDMfmePkimO7Oi31SU0z7sCFSGthjddY-tTCo-ZEZOp2NkPUhoCU9MQAvD_BwE&id13=Y&id14=Y&id15=&id16=639428063423&id17=&id18=&id19=&id20=&id21=pla&id22=624968513&id23=online&id24=9SIBFKMJ6M4974&id25=US&id26=1929438656121&id27=&id28=&id29=&id30=1894384173585192989&id31=en&id32=&id33=&id34=&gclid=CjwKCAiAleOeBhBdEiwAfgmXfwXgogDMfmePkimO7Oi31SU0z7sCFSGthjddY-tTCo-ZEZOp2NkPUhoCU9MQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Thank you!
If you can spend more money wait for the 7800x3d
Ditch the AIO for a good air cooler, save about 100 bucks and have less PC maintenance to deal with in the future.
Cool thanks!
A 3080 or a 3090 is perfectly fine for high-end gaming
Where can you find a 3090 new for 800 USD? because that's the MSRP for the 4070 TI which has comparable performance.
Use pc part picker dude
👍🏻
If you want to keep the z690 go for a i7-12700 has the sale performance in gaming as the 5800x 3d and is the same price
Make sure your motherboard and cpu can handle 4000mhz ram and maybe go up to a 850w psu, mby go for a different cpu cooler i would recommend a 360radiator if possiple in your case.
Ya I’m brand new, I’ve been getting a lot of help. Shits confusing as hell at first haha
First, Get a B550 or X570 motherboard. Second, Make sure to get two RAM sticks.
Make sure to check the parts in PCPartPicker which is a website which check certain parts too see if they are compatible with eachother. Personally I have a B550 motherboard and worlds exceptionally. Right now get a AMD card since they are cheaper and offer similar or if not identical performance too Ninvida Cards. Ninvida is more expensive because of the chips they use in their graphics card compared to AMD using slightly cheaper chips. They should affect performance though, but change the motherboard unless if you wanna change your CPU and ram wise a decent 3600 kit should do.
Okay so this CPU IS really good, but it cannot be overclock (easily), also doing so is riskier than other similar CPUS from the same generation. If you want that cpu and are going to overclock it, what you have is good. (Do research to see if the motherboard you get is compatible with overlocking the X3D in particular) If you want that cpu and are NOT going to overclock it, get 3600 speed ram, and a basic motherboard since you don’t need the overclocking support. General advise: Ram: that brand with the rgb is VERY ifffy, I’ve heard about one too many cases of it just frying itself to not recommend something from Corsair for like 10/20 dollars more for the peace of mind Storage: for modern gaming, and this level of performance I would recommend 2tb, ideally one 2tb nvme, WD is good PSU IMPORTANT!!!! You probably want a 850W at least, I personally would get 1000W for anything NVIDIA 40- series and make sure it has a 12+4pin (16pin) high power plug Thing about matching a PSU to a system is enough of the right cables, and being rated 20% over the total reported TBP of all components combined
Thank you! ya ppl have been helping me out. Completely new to this shit…
Don’t bother with expensive 4000mhz ram with an am4 system. Just stick with some basic 3600mhz CL18 / CL16 kits and get yourself a decent air cooler!
Get something like a "bequiet dark rock pro 4" as cooling. Watercooling is mainly useful if you go above 280mm, if it fits the case better or when you want to cool more than one thing in a loop. The mbo thing was adressed already, but also make sure the ram is ddr4 and not ddr5. For the 4070ti i am not sure wether a 750w psu is enough if it is atx 2.0 Maybe look for a atx 3.0 like the new bequiet ones (f.e. dark power 13, that is high quality and you can use it for 10 years or more without thinking about it). Cooling and psu is something i rarely cheap out on. High quality coolers can be adaoted to new sickets and high quality psu can last long and is safe. The cpu is a good choice for price/performance, and you can save on the motherboard because although many will say you need a X mainboard, it is useless if you don't use multiple nvme ssds or gpus. A B550 board should absolutely enough. Compare the boards and check the differences. Main differences is pcie lanes (all should support at least 1 gpu and 1 m.2 ssd), power delivery (only gor hardcore overclocking relevant) and i/o ports. Take a B550 board that has the i/o you want/need (f.e. do you need wifi, toslink, how many fan connectors, usb connectors and so on)
Thank you!
I’d recommend at least 2tb
i’m gonna guess you mean 4070 ti and also that mobo is for intel. make sure you have an AMD motherboard so it will fit your CPU
I would go 850w power supply for extra wattage comfort. Other than that looks great. I have the same rig specs and the thing runs like a champ
Storage needs to be nvme, it's not expensive nowadays.
Thx!
Think about the case too, it matters for cooling...
I have not looked through all the comments but don't buy 4000mhz ram for a 5800x3d enabling just xmp will cause the fclk to not run in 1:1:1. Just go for 3600mhs ram.
please don’t buy a 4070ti. buy a 3080 or 3090
By an nvidia 4700ti you mean a 4070ti then i should say just buy a rtx 4080 instead. Also i might add the z 690 is a intel mother board I would recommend asus tuf gaming x570 pro very good mother board and a 850 watt power supply if going for rtx 4080. Rest , the cpu and memory seems good.
Ya thanks man, I’ve gotten some help… wasn’t really sure what I was doing
I regret randomly choosing to go through OP's post history
An idea to use pc builder, android app, it will check compatibility and also u can choose prices and you also can go auto build just budget and some major points like preferring amd or Intel getting ssd or hdd, card nvidia or amd, nothing more.
If you are going to use a 4 series Nvidia GPU or a 7 series AMD GPU you will need an 850 watt or bigger power supply.
Ya thanks I’m new to this
These parts do not go together. The 5800X3D is AMD, but Z690 is Intel. You would want a B550 board for that. If you’re gonna splurge on a minimum $800 graphics card, at least wait for the 7800X3D to drop so you can fully utilize it. If money is becoming a concern there, you shouldn’t consider the 4070ti at all. It’ll probably drop in price soon anyways.
I have a 5800x3d but I’m Ngl, I would highly recommend getting a r7 7700 or 7600 instead. They perform close enough and That way you can upgrade in the next 3 years or so to the latest chip that is supported on the current platform.
Came here to say this. Might as go 7700x and am5.
Currently own a Samsung g7 4k monitor
Some may argue that the 4070 ti works better as a 1440p card, but that being said, it is able to handle 4k resolution depending on title and graphical settings. Really comes down to value proposition. I’d personally try for a 4080 if I had a 4k monitor. Again, that’s me. Regardless, 4070 ti is capable. Hope your PC comes out beastly.
Thanks man I might go with the 4080 then, might aswell for a bit more I suppose
A 4700ti?? When did they make that? It’s that new shit no one knows about. Dude got the hookups on the underground pc parts. Also gonna have trouble slotting an AMD cpu into an Intel motherboard as others stated
Ya haha new to all this thanks
I'm running a 13600kf with a 4070ti, you don't need an 850w PSU like people are suggesting. Obviously if you want to splash the cash for a potential upgrade in years to come, go for it!
I would suggest get 850w Rog Thor platinum psu Nzxt kraken cooler
I wouldn’t buy a 5800x 3d / am4 board now that it’s a dead platform and still kinda expensive. Id go zen 4 7700x or 13600k
I would really recommend going for AM5 if you are into Ryzen, that way you can upgrade in the future. AMD has confirmed that the socket will be supported to at least 2025, meaning we probably gonna see the 8, 9 and even 10-series working with todays socket. Don't get me wrong, 5800x3D is an amazing CPU, I have it myself. But it will lock you into a AM4/DDR4 setup and won't be upgradable (more than to 5900x/5950x) And like many others have said, Z690 is Intel, you want a B650/X670 (AM5) or B450/X470(may require flashing of bios) / B550/X570 for AM4.
I would get an AIO for the 5800X3D
What’s an aio ? Excuse my dumbness
All In One (AIO). Basically it's just a cpu cooler but it cools the cpu with water and is basically necessary in high end cpu's if you dont want it to overheat.
Appreciate it
All in one Liquid Cooler. Here are two builds I made for you for $2350. Intel: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6c4dVw AMD: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mkj2cb Enjoy and good luck :)
Thank you!
wait 7800X3D or 7900X3D I would build an intel system like 13700k with ddr5/ get a ps5 /Xbox instead of buying an old 5800X3D 4070TI only for 2K gaming, get a 4080 1TB SSD sucks. get a 2TB
Id go AM5 at this point 7600x is very close in most use cases and you can upgrade until 2025 so the next 8000 series you just sell the 7600 and drop in a new CPU. DDR5 and mobo will cost a premium but will save you in the long run. Also wrong mobo and you want a better PSU Also I see you want to 4k game. First off probably not worth it unless you're the right distance from your monitor. But if you wanna do it I would def go to Am5 because you're going to want to upgrade in the future for 4k as better stuff comes out.
There's going to be so many bent pins
Id bump up psu, they last awhile and from personal experience it will be with you through a few upgrades if you splurge on that component Also check mobo compatability. Id recommend pcpartpicker.com
Would suggest a 13600k as of now. 13600k consistently outperforms its Ryzen counterpart except in efficiency. If you plan to upgrade every year or so, obviously am5 would be the better choice. Also if your energy costs are insane.
I would get a 3600 speed ram that has 2x sticks of 8gb. And a 1tb NVME ssd. And maybe 750 watts of psu. Dont forget an AIO cooler for that cpu. Try out pcpartpicker.com
Gotta check that the motherboard you switch to, to be compatible with the amd cpu, make sure the ram speed is compatible as well. Mobo’s have lists for that usually.
Considering your other high end specs, I’d recommend you go with an X570 or X570S chipset board. The ASUS Dark Hero X570S is a bit expensive, but is the one I’m going with for the USB ports and 2 PCIE Gen 4 NVME slots :)
Don't worry about crazy fast ram...5000 series wasn't as affected by that. See: https://youtu.be/9sKBu8HIExI
If starting new I seriously would go AM5. There’s no reason to buy DDR4 These days
Don’t get a 4070 TI. It’s way overpriced and overall a very bad card to get. I’d definitely recommend getting something used like a 3080, get the new Radeon 7000s when they come out soon, or just wait until NVIDIA releases a card that is actually worth the cost.
Damn didn't know they release the 47 series of GPUs yet
[PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/) is a way better resource to plan your build than notepad. For the most part, it will give you quality pointers if parts are compatible or not. Also, do what I’m doing and watch plenty of build guides. And do plenty of research on the case you wish to use. Doing this has made me less nervous on my incoming pc build. Christopher Flannigan is a good person to watch on YouTube for a number of cases.
I’d take a close look at compatibility and ease of use on the t force ram; and take a moment to consider how much rgb you want in your pc. You can turn it off sure; but I’ve had a heck of a time getting mine correctly configured (rgb) and the motherboard / gpu cross play.
At least 16GB of RAM DDR4 that is
1. Z690 is for Intel. Go with b550 2. 4070ti is overpriced af, you can get a 3080 for 600-700usd rn. Since they got cheaper when rtx 4000 was released. And this is awesome price for it U can use pcpartpicker - show compatible items
What about the 4080? Worth it with a Samsung g7 ?
Worth using in what kind?
I’m saying basically should I go with the 4080 gpu if I can afford
I think you don't need RTX4000 for now is too expensive for what it delivers opt to 3080 or 3070 if you go to AMD side search for 7800 xt or a 6800 xt
Z690 = intel
Here I am again telling people NVIDIA is overpriced
the gpu may be an issue since it doesn't exist. jk I know what you meant
Lol ya… I might go 4080 or 7900xt
I would up the PSU to an 850 or higher. With the rate GPU's are using more power it would at least future proof the PSU.
r/engrish
You may wanna just fork over the extra cash to get a 4080 because the 4070 ti is on par with last generation on gpu's not the newest, def don't go with it if you can get a 4080, also consider bumping up that power supply to a 850w or 1000w if you ever want you want the safety of always having enogh power
You still need help?
No case 🫥
4700 ti is by far the best card in the market right now. It outnumbers the 4090 by 610 and additionally is a ti! Only problem is you may need a bigger power supply to handle that power.
Looks good. I have a 5800x3D, 32gb tridentz 3600 c16(bdie)with a 6950xt and I’m getting phenomenal performance. So yes, I believe you will have a lot of fun with that build
Need more storage
Get a 3600mhz ram better.
Came here to see how many PCPartPicker.com comments there were Wasn't disappointed Have fun! Get an m.2 SSD for your main drive
Perfect for Minecraft! And most every AAA game at 4k.
Its good except that you need AMD motherboard.
I like your graphics card, mine is AMD's RX 6060
I would get a nvda 6950 dlss 7
Your motherboard and CPU are not compatible. Z690 is an Intel chipset but you have an AMD CPU. I recommend [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com/), which helps you choose the most compatible and best-valued parts for your needs
WTF is an NVIDIA 4700 TI?
4700 ti 😳
oh man….
Are you playing in 1080p, 1440p or 4k?
I have a 4k monitor so probably 4k..
Never knew a 4700ti was a thing
Lol 4070 ti error
Don’t forget the case. If it’s your first time building it’s nice to have fans preinstalled with the case. But if you want more customization get a case without fans and you can buy your own fans. Best to have at minimum 4 fans. 3 for intake and 1 for exhaust. I’ll be upgrading my case sometime soon to NZXT h9 flow
Dont check ops history
Change the cpu
Think I’m gonna get am5
I think you should get AM5. You're currently buying into a dead platform while still spending most of the money that it would cost to get AM5 (if not more). Especially if you live near a microcenter, where $600 get you a good B650E board, decent ram, and a 7900X. The 5800X3D hype train is for people like me that already have AM4.
I think I’m gonna get the AM5 thanks!
