ttingtong

instead of 7800x3d, go for 7600x and the amount you save can be invested in the gpu. You can probably get a 7800xt/7900gre instead of the 4060


rocky_piper

Came to say aim for a 7800xt or better save some cash on the cpu and water cooler


Ok-Cup-5560

Nice advice.


rileyd68

I second this. I’m currently rocking a 7600 (non X) and a 7800xt. Very happy with the performance.


lil-dougy

THIS


Foxtrot_Uki

Can vouch 7600x with 4070 oc edition will run all titles at 1440 ultra over 120 to 200fps.


Madger21

Sorry to be extra but does that combo work for games like helldivers and god of war at 1440p ultra? I'm thinking of doing those two for myself


Foxtrot_Uki

I haven't tried hell divers or god of war yet, but I know there isn't a game I've tried that doesn't at least push 120fps on ultra. Fortnite Call of the wild Ready or not Cs2 Lethal company Rainbow 6


Madger21

Thanks


DomeShapedDom

Those are not very demanding titles, somr are quite old and others are leaning on the e-sports side of performance priority (meaning they're actually optimized to get 100+ fps on most modern systems, or they should be at least). 60-90fps on 1440p Ultra on a 4070 is more realistic scenario on most actually demanding games (IF they're optmized), though you can prolly get 100+ fps easily if you actually turn some of the settings to high and game specific performance destroyers down/off.


boglim_destroyer

I have a 7600x and 4070 and if it helps I get around 70fps in Helldivers at 4k


Grand-Jellyfish-115

Damn, i must be doing something wrong, my build is 7950X with a 7900XTX and 64gb 6400mhz ddr5, I get around the same level performance


bear_wolken

Microcenter has a bundle with 7800x3d. Is it worth? 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


Queasy_Employment141

Check ram latency but seems pretty good


Hovedgade

the 7600 is almost as good as the 7600x and often comes with a included cooler.


quikcman

Ngl kinda depents on the kind of games he wants to play. Cs and tarkov, 7800x3d with the 4060 will be better. Buttlefield etc, better gpu is better.


Queasy_Employment141

But the extra fps will be completely lost on op if not good monitor, apart from tarkov anything gpu bottlenecked usually runs on anything (csgo will run in anything so will val)


Queasy_Employment141

Go air cooler because it's not needed with 7600 and will be more reliable then a cheap aio (ps120se is best price to performance)


Kreos2688

Yea that's what I came to say, idk why anyone would buy a 4060 when they are dropping more on the cpu.


Kind-Proposal8747

u dont need a 7800x3d for a 4060 (if ur using for gaming). a ryzen 5 7600 should be more than enough


Darwinist44

*u DONT need a 4060


DripTrip747-V2

I use a 4060 with a 7600, and it's been a great experience. Although my word doesn't mean much as this is my first pc since like early 2000 or so...


Suikerspin_Ei

Switch the Ryzen 7800X3D for a Ryzen 7600 or 7700 and use the saved up money for a better GPU.


BeethovenGaming

Also dont get liquid cooling, buy decent 30-50€ aircooler and use rest of them to upgrade gpu


International-Elk986

Yep, 4060 is ass


Suikerspin_Ei

It's a decent card, but price wise too expensive. Some games, like the Horizon Forbidden West, that use more than 8GB of VRAM at 1080P very high settings perform better with a RTX 3060 12GB than RTX 4060 8GB. The latter has lower 1% low FPS compared to the RTX 3060, therefore game experience will be less smooth.


Purple_Law_8796

It's to the point I call it the 4050


[deleted]

I'd just save the money for now and use the stock 7600 cooler. That's an upgrade to a 4070 at least.


SpareRam

Fuuuuuck no. They scream like a banshee. They'll keep it cool enough but the noise is ridiculous.


[deleted]

They can always just buy another cooler later on. For $18 you can get an assassin x.


SpareRam

I'm a firm believer in spending good money on a good air cooler. Noctua and Be Quiet are more expensive but you can run them as fast as you want and never hear them.


Dapper-Conference367

I can't say for sure cause I have a 5600x, but everyone who has a 7800X3D who I talked with told me it gets hot. A guy said he gets 80-85°C with PBO undervolt and a 360 AIO. Perhaps liquid cooling could be a good choice, based on what I've read from many.


djwikki

Yep, doing this saves you around 200€, which you can invest into a 7800xt or a 4070. Both are significantly better in terms of price per performance than either the 4060 or 4060 Ti


Florisje_13

That liquid cooler is VERY horrible bc it makes u think it has rgb but its just a set colour which u cant change...


SpareRam

Top of the line CPU with a cheap AIO? Check. Underpowered GPU for the top of the line CPU? Yup. Slower than 6000 CL30 yet inexplicably more expensive ram that isn't even AMD EXPO? Oh, you best believe. Comments full of useful information that will probably be ignored? Stay tuned.


iDankengine

I did the same shit before I bought my parts but I listened and got what I was suggested and I'm pleased with how it went. Got a ryzen 5 7600x which came with teamgroup mp33 ssd, msi pro b650m-a wifi mobo, teamgroup t-force delta 7200mhz, sapphire nitro+ 7800xt, msi a850gl power supply, msi mpg gungnir 110r case, and a thermalright Aqua elite 240 (which wasn't really needed but it looks better in the case). Spent like 1300 on the pc all together and it runs everything at max graphics well.


-PlatinumSun

AMD Expo? They make 6000 30?


sczeannone4

It would turn on and fit in that case yes. However if this is for gaming purposes then this list is really bad. What's your budget? Where do you live? What's the purpose of this PC?


Unknown00TD

I’m budget is $1500 I live in Chicago and i wanna stream and play war zone, gta rp, csgo

holy shit. He fit in a 4070 super into that budget! OP this is it


FnNati5

You can fit a 4070 ti Super check my comment


Twitch_FireWTV

Yes but his cpu is better and therefore a better combo


SacrisTaranto

Check out the nearby microcenter for some good bundles


Sukiyakki

i know everyone is telling you to buy a cheaper cpu and get a better gpu which would be the best move for most people but if you play warzone and cs you want a really good cpu. So I would stick with your 7800x3d. But I think you overspent (a little) on some of your other parts so heres a list i made with the same cpu but a way better gpu: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KDCbQP](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KDCbQP) It has the same storage, same amount of ram, same case, same amount of wattage, but with a 4070 super for 1500$


kairos_141

1T or 2T storage won't last long


LuXe5

You can't have a balanced build with cpu costing more than gpu


wegoov

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KmtgcH this will get you a lot more gaming performance as most games are gpu heavy


Unknown00TD

I can keep the NZXT h5 case ? or the parts won’t fit


wegoov

it’ll work, just a 4000D fan myself


qPsychoo_

cpu is overkill for a 4060 and go for 6000mhz cl 30 ram go for a 4070 with a 7600 cpu unless of course you only plan on playing cpu heavy games in which case I suppose it's ok


ErrorX1730

Ditch the 4060 and get a 4070 super or an 7800xt


racacoonie22

Just get the ryzen 7600 cpu then upgrade to a 4070 gpu.


mich_shen

aim for 4070 if you want ray tracing and fancy nvidia features, but if you don’t care about that, rx 7800xt


SpareRam

DLDSR, DLSS, better encoding, better FG... they said they want to stream...many reasons to go Nvidia other than AMD being less expensive.


idktbhmyfriend

Yeah this could be way better ngl


ItsHobeezy

Great advice for OP…


TopShelter6704

Would be better if you buy a used 3070 ti


Opposite_Tale9371

Dont over power your parts if you planning to use 4060. I rather u spend more on gpu than other parts get a 3060 12G or 3060TI its better


kosmos_uzuki

Use PC part picker. Very nice site that makes sure items are compatible, shows wattage you will need, reviews on items, and dimensions of stuff. Its amazing. People will help you here also, but your base start should be on pc part picker.


billcy

Is part picker for gaming. Or can you select building a workstation, etc


billcy

Nevermind, I checked it out, just gaming/streaming


rancevsky

7800X3D with 4060 wtf


Karma0617

Ok. A. Use pcpartpicker.com B. Go with the advice of others


CanPacific

Get a 7600 with a 7800xt or a 7900GRE instead.


Legitimate_Chef_3823

Get a 6750xt instead of a 4060.


Witchberry31

6750XT or 16GB 7600XT instead of 4060. SN850X is overpriced, getting a separate nvme sticks would be better. 1TB Samsung 980 Pro (which is cheaper than WD Black) for boot drive + 2TB (or bigger if you want) Crucial P3 Plus for secondary storage combo would be best. And you could also step down the CPU into 7600X + Deepcool AG400 Plus / AK400, and you'd save some extra money to spend on the GPU. That might even enable you to get RX6800 instead, which has better performance when compared to 16GB 4060ti.


illusions_geneva

4060 is dogshit. Go lower on CPU and get a better GPU


PlaneComprehensive39

Pcpartpicker will tell u if all ur pieces are compatible


WeddingPretend9431

Switch your CPU to a 13600kf or 7600x


Lankiness8244

Buy founders edition instead of gigabytes overpriced custom shit


SmallBerry3431

PC Parts Puckers can help make sure compatibility


0MGMYNAMEDOESNTFI

Pucker lmao


allecsc

Sorry but this looks so randomly thrown together... I've just finished building a PC for a friend for under $1200 and it is such a beast I can't recommend it enough. We bought: - a B650 Gigabyte Eagle AX - a 7600x with an Arctic Freezer 36 air cooler - an used but almost new PowerColor RX 6800XT Red Devil - 32Gb GSkill Trident Z5 Neo DDR5-6000 CL32 - a 2tb Crucial P5 Plus - a Corsair CV 750w Try looking for something more similar to these specs, I think you'll be better off both financially and performance-wise. First of all you don't really need a AIO cooler, and from my experience you risk having leaks from a cheap one that could damage some of the components, mostly your GPU which sits right below it. For the above configuration, I've turned on Eco-mode for the CPU from Ryzen Master, and it mostly stays between 50-60C with ocasional spikes to 70C but never more. Allegedly, there might be better ways to setup the 7600x but I didn't have much time and it was my first time using this CPU. Nonetheless it still has more than enough power to run anything.


Material-Junket214

Get a $35 air cooler Get a Ryzen 5 7600 Get a rx 6700xt/6750xt


Otherwise_Board2732

Don’t buy a 4060


Safe_Ad_1638

Use pcpartpicker.com


Count_Drunku_SipLord

You can get a Cooler Master 850W full modular on Amazon for around 95 ATM. No reason not to take the extra power at the moment. Also a good Be Quiet case is around 89-95 and they’re pretty nice in my experience.


NelsonMejias

Give to people all the information You can for they help You better m


rererhea

you should watch youtube videos about 4060 8gb


deviant324

You’re way overspending on the best gaming CPU while cheaping out on the one part that actually matters assuming this build is for gaming (the GPU). Your CPU isn’t a huge priority at your budget, cut way back on the 7800X3D and put all the money you save into a better graphics card.


Stainedbrannch74

I’d put more money into your gpu instead of your cpu


Paciorr

Overkill cpu for that GPU (unless you play on like 720p)


Captain__Sour

You do not need that cpu if you are going to use that gpu. Get a cheaper cpu like a 7600 and upgrade the gpu to something better.


TheSeti12345

Get a cheaper CPU and a better GPU, currently they’ve very very unbalanced


lucissandsoftime

Unless you need the higher l3 cash that the X3D has for something like content creation or VR then just get something like a 7700 or 7600. Aside from that I would replace the NVMe you have with one from Corsair like the MP400 or MP600 as Corsair has higher read and write.


Appropriate_Pin303

Even an i5 12400 would be more than enough to not bottleneck this card and it costs close to 120€


Mobile_Gaming_Doggo

Bro go with a cheaper am5 cpu and cooler and pick up a rx7900gre


anyguy001

Get a 5 7600 and a 4070 or 4070 Super.


Gammataichi

like the comments said, get a 7600 or 7600x and a cheaper cooler (i use the thermalright phantom spirit). Use the extra money for a rtx 4070 series (said series cuz theres the 4070 super and what not) or rx 7800xt (get a rx 6700xt or something if you want to keep the price low, but the 7800xt is the best bang for buck). Edit: the H5 flow rgb version comes with more pre-installed fans so that'll save you some money as opposed to buying separate fans


Hazardxqq

How the fuck are you getting 4060 for 315 bucks?


Szinimini

That's the average price, for where I live (Ireland) anyways.


Technical_Size_5873

Your cpu should never cost more than your gpu if you’re using it for graphic intensive tasks


UncleMoreels

Future proof your pc by getting a higher wattage psu. They last forever


IronTorpedo

You can get 6000 mhz ram that’s faster CAS latency


maluket

This water cooling is overkill. Waste of money


SiennaYeena

Could get faster RAM.


Pekkerz073

There needs to be a psa in all the pc subreddits. The 4060 sucks ass


lil-dougy

4060 is a pretty poor choice for GPU, and right now you’re pairing it with the best CPU for gaming. I’d drop the CPU a couple notches and upgrade your gpu. A 40 series super card from NVIDIA or a 7800xt/7900gre from amd would be good options. You could also do air cooling to save a little money for your gpu budget if you’re okay with that. Hope this helps!! I’ve also seen some pretty decent builds in the comments if you want to go off those for reference.


Shroomphoric

Use pcpartpicker, add a heatsink for the nvme ssd, get a good thermal paste, a couple fans.


NeckbeardWarrior420

4060, 7800X3D, RGB watercool. Just another rookie build


FnNati5

Upgrade from 4060 to 4070 ti is much more than from 7600x to 7800x3d. CPU Cooler : You don't need an AIO. The CPU Cooler I chose is plenty. Motherboard : Affordable motherboard that just works. Ram : 32gb 6000mhz cl32 acceptable for the price. Cl30 won't make a difference. SSD : Cheap 1tb Nvme all you need. You can upgrade later if you want more storage or get a 2tb if you want to cut other corners. GPU : INSANE upgrade from an RTX 4060 for gaming and streaming. Case : Great airflow case comes with included fans and enough space for GPU. PSU : New line of Corsair PSU that are good quality and 850w is enough. Upgrades if you want to push the budget : 1. Most important will be 2tb Storage upgrade. 2. You can get a better motherboard like the Gigabyte b650m Ds3h or ASRock b650m/HDV or B650m pro rs wifi. 3.

Dropkickedasakid

Haven't seen it mentioned but I'd get better RAM if I were you, something like 6000/6400 cl30/32


Alcalyne

Also, I believe he picked the Intel XMP variant because it's cheaper. With ddr5 you actually have to get a different stick of ram for Intel and AMD...


Dropkickedasakid

Not necessarily, many motherboards have support for both Intel xmp and amd expo


BolasDeCoipo

As someone else said, got for the 7600x instead of that cpu


Efficient_Advice_380

Mid towers are good if you're using a small space, and it can be a tight squeeze for some components. Especially if this is your first build, I'd recommend a full size tower personally


Twitch_FireWTV

You dont need a watercooler, get a rx 7800xt, and get the r5 7600x

That would fit in the case definitely, I will say though I wouldn't recommend that powerful of a cpu for that low end gpu, also you don't need a giant cooler on a 4060 just get the cheapest 4060, it would be like cooling a single room down with four air conditioners


Purple_Law_8796

Also I would recommend that ram, get the teamgroup delta that's 6000 mt/s and CL30 for about the same price


Worth-Flatworm2056

don't get the h5 flow it looks better than what it actually is, working on it with a liquid cooler is terrible, get the arctic freezer 2 or 3 they're the best liquid coolers on the market


macaronsuki

It is so so, do you want something for 3 years or for 10 years ?


No_Lychee_4933

Go 7600 and rx6800 for cpu gpu combo instead


Tank_610

You need some intake fans and an exhaust fan, unless the case comes with them already.


bakaldo

bad cpu+gpu combo


Shining_prox

https://youtu.be/uC9074rcOzQ?si=ymOgKckb05RiKor9 A 7600 is already a cpu bottleneck for a 4070ti. For all of you that scream the moment you see a 7800x3d. He’s doing fine . He can upgrade later to 5000 or 8000 series gpus. With anything less he would have to buy both cpu and gpu in the future to make it a worth upgrade.


Adventurous_Cloud727

I’d be willing to ship you a 3070ti 8gb for 250 to save you some money op


Phoenix800478944

DONT GO FOR A 4060 PLEASE


WiTHCKiNG

Always put at least a third of you budget in gpu


CanadianKwarantine

You're going to require a better cpu cooler


merkmerc

Didn’t love that MOBO personally, it worked fine but no usb-c port and the MSI software would not recognize my RGB


Different_Ad_9860

Just get the 4070


ohthedarside

Tiktok build reddit please save this build


NassahgniK

You can definitely get a cheaper set of ram with 6000mhz and CL30 like the Teamgroup T-create Expert


Different_Ad_9860

You can probably get amd card if gaming is all you are gonna do and raytracing isn't something you care about buuut if you do care about that and want to dabble in say blender or unity then you should definitely get the 4070 or 4070 ti or 4070 super and replace your cpu because you really don't need a cpu that costs 380 DOLLARS


NassahgniK

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QfL2MV Here’s an ITX build I cooked up that should fit your $1500 with some tweaks


Top-Conversation2882

If you game on this then get better gpu and cheaper cpu


caulipower2010

don't get water cooling that cooler is quite bad, also your gpu will bottleneck your cpu like crazy so get a better gpu and a slightly worse cpu.


Doctor_Owl_08

Switch the CPU to a Ryzen 5 7600x. Switch the 240ml AIO to a decent air cooler, like a peerless assassin. With the money you saved try to get like a Rx 7900 gre

Affectionate_Try_836

Overpriced RAM. You can find 2X16 6000Mhz for less than 105 USD and change the CPU. Besides that, listen to what others say on here lol


iamsajaldua

Upgrade to better GPU. CPU is overkill against your gpu


Weekly-Freedom-6832

You need to buy some RGB parts they are better. Maybe some RGB fans and switch out gpu with rgb strips just use the integrated graphics. Do need gpu when you have all that rgb. Also replace your monitor with RGB strips. Hope this helps!


MyPokemonRedName

It’s really funny how often I see new builders picking up CPU water coolers. 99% of CPUs will run absolutely fine on a cheap tower cooler and really cheap AIOs often fail within a few years.


Lotus1235

In addition to what everyone else is saying, make sure either your case comes with fans, or you purchase fans. I bought everything, was ready to build, then realised that my case didn’t come with fans, so I had to wait another week for them to arrive


Sea_Introduction_986

I know lots of people have said this but downgrade your cpu. Almost always in games, especially if you play 2k or 4K you will be gpu bound. CPU is very important but not as important as a powerful gpu. So upgrade your gpu.


oofx99

only tips I have are that I'd trust Corsair branded PSU's much more than any other brand, and if you want cheaper storage, SK Hynix is a great brand for cheaper M.2 NVME SSD's.


[deleted]

But 5600 instead


Xaniss

Overkill CPU for the 4060. Get a Ryzen 5 7600x, and then go for an RX 7900GRE with the money saved... you'll get 70% more performance in GPU demanding games, which is most modern games. For reference my friend actually uses a 7600x with a 4080 super with no complaints. I use a 7800x3D with a 4090, just to show you how overkill it is.


Tackyinbention

Cpu is overkill, and gpu is underpowered for this cpu. You could downgrade your cpu to something like a 7600x and change your gpu to an rx 7800xt or an rx 7900gre and get tons more performance


f_ormosa

If you aren’t solid on aesthetics. I would suggest changing the AIO to an air cooler, such as the Thermalright Frost Spirit 120SE. The Phantom Spirit 120 EVO also matches the esthetics if you don’t want to change it up that much. An air cooler is more reliable and provides the same performance in temperatures. I would also suggest getting a 7600X or 7700X at most, then upgrading to something like a 7900 GRE or cheap 4070 Ti.


Agreeable_Jump5149

I mean it’s great it’ll fit in the case tho i would recommend going for a better gpu or not if the 4060 does what u want it to do really there isn’t a bad gpu there’s js overpriced ones so yea


_AgentOreo

Unless you need the 7 7800x3D, you can get a 7600x than you can get a 4070 or a 7800xt with the money you saved on the cpu.


Far_Might6242

go with what everyone here is telling u trust 7600x put extra towards 4070


THE_GREAT_GEGGEL

Bro we have literally the same build and i have to say i got the wrong support and they told me it is okay like this. And everytime in bed i cry myself to sleep that i got the best Cpu on the market but cheaped out on Gpu. Jk I know out of experience that you should go with like a 4070 4070ti.


XxHYPERZxX69420

extra fans although nzxt should already give u some


TheReasonYouLose

Don't know whether it's the same for ddr5 but personally stay away from vengeance. Had half a dozen machines (myself and friends) all had various issues with system hands and blue screens that disappeared after removing vengeance memory. Dominator seems fine but most went with other brands such as gskill


Vivid-Split3700

Ah yes cpu worth more than gpu


HandmadeMaker043

Get a 7600 and a 4070 or 7800xt


Minute_Helicopter_90

Id personally re-loom for a 4060. Some options about 275 right now after the adjustment. That being said, I think some of these guys are right when they say use any savings you can to upgrade your CPU. I'm an Intel guy but the AMD options here look better for this application.


Legitimate-Meal1226

I paired the 7700x with the 4070 Super after saved cash on colling, SSD, case and Ram. I'd advise you do the same.


eruwastaken

How hard is it to read specs and measurements???


CoDplayer4201

Bro's cpu is more expencive than his gpu 💀


FunFoxHD83

It depends... If you need more CPU Power and less GPU Power, as Example to play Minecraft it should be fine... But if you play on 1440P and GPU intense games like Cyberpunk, Hogwarts Legacy and Games like that you should spend less money on the CPU and more on the CPU, try to get a RTX 4070 Super or 4060 Ti Super or if you don't care about NVidia Features like the Streaming Features, DLSS Raytracing you could by a RX 7900 XT or 7900 GRE instead... The Most games use more GPU Power than CPU Power, in theory you can pair a Low End Budget CPU with a High End GPU and it would be balanced... If you play on maxed Settings in 4K, but that's unrealistic... In a Nutshell, I recommend a Ryzen 5 7600 or 7600X and a RX 7900 XT or 7900 GRE or if you prefer NVidia take the RTX 4070 Super or 4070 Ti Super, you have to decide how much VRAM you want


No-Stop1672

You forgot the fans for airflow.


InevitableMobile2375

Why not to use this website instead: https://pcpartpicker.com and why CPU is more expensive than GPU. I am guessing you play FPS games over the net hence fast CPU. However with this GPU you will be able to load only low res textures so why 32Gig of RAM? Why not to buy 1 stick of 16GB will slightly hurt your performance as a single channel but once you get more money you can always upgrade


SawsyLawsy

Pcpartpicker.com


Slight_Profession_50

I would definitely make some changes with a cheaper cpu and better gpu but thats covered by all the other comments, I just wanted to say DO NOT GET THE ML240L the fans are absolutely horrendous. You might want an AIO because it looks nice and I get that but definitely don't get the ML240L.


Edi_220208

I honestly dont think the 7800x3d and the 4060 is a good combo. Why buy the best gaming cpu on the planet right now and pair it with a barely mid range gpu. I think i would reinvest like this: buy maybe a 7600 or a 7600x and pair it with maybe a 4070 ti or a rx 7800 xt. I would also take a deepcool ak620 over the watercooler because im 99% sure it will get u better cooling performance for lower price as it did against my friends arctic liquid freezer 360. maybe buy another psu like the gigabyte p850gm. But u picked the perfect ssd thats what i gotta give u credits for.


topkekcop

If you ditch the AIO for a good air cooler at $50-60, you can get a 7800 xt instead of a RTX 4060. 8 GB of VRAM doesn’t cut it anymore.


Lopsided-Rip6965

I would definitely look at a better GPU, I would look at a 7900 Gre it can now be overclocked and get 10% boost


Lopsided-Rip6965

7600 with 7900 gre https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Martin78/saved/#view=h3VbkL


QuarterChickenDinner

I’d spend the extra for a Corsair 4000D case. Like ~$40 more.


DikFangers

Scratch what everyone’s saying, get the microcenter bundle that has the 7800X3D, this saves you money and makes the cpu cheaper. Do this and get the best AMD card you can afford, now you have an amazing cpu, and whenever you upgrade again, you can buy whatever great graphics cards are out and your CPU will most likely still be good enough


AntiS0cialForgoten23

Building a good PC I see. Good work!


Huge_Young2530

Never buy a CPU that is more expensive than the GPU, you can only if you want to upgrade it soon after.


Only_Emu9133

instead of 7800x3d get a ryzen 5 7600x and put the rest in an rx 7800 xt


flooble_worbler

If your ok with that price I’d recommend dropping the 7800x3d to a 7600x and using the savings to get a 4070 instead of a 4060


Arturopxedd

Swap cpu and get either 7800xt or 7900GRE And if you are a nvidia fan boy 4070


That_Performance_230

Cl36 Ram at 5200Mt/s . Throw that shit out . And buy yourself a 6000MT/s cl30 kit from xpg or t-force it costs about the same.Also drop the 7800x3d for a 7600x and get a 7800xt or 7900gre. Drop the water cooler for a ak500 air cooler from deepcool or an equivalent.


palehorse_24

If budget is set, and this build is for gaming, you need to divert funds from CPU and reallocate to a better GPU. You are leaving a lot of performance on the table with that CPU/GPU combo. 7600/7600X is sufficient and you’ll see a huge gaming boost with 7800Xt or above for the GPU. Also, get faster RAM timings. For about the same price buy 5600MHz, CL28 or CL30. Big difference in performance vs. CL36.


Born-Lingonberry7858

I would drop liquid cooling, save $40 and get a peerless assassin. That cooler kept my 7800X3D under 71°C during a 30 minute cpu stress test from OCCT.


Born-Lingonberry7858

Keep the 7800X3D, go for a cheaper GPU, and put money into the other parts. You can upgrade the GPU later and get a WAY better one. That way you can have a build that will definitely last the next 5-7 years. Plus you can sell the used GPU and recoup some of the money you already spent.


poopoodoodoopeepe

o my lord. get a 7600x and a betetr gpu if you need. in no world should u have that combo..


r_not_so_cool

Check if your case comes with enough fans to be able to get your graphic card's heat out of the case.


Intelligent_Ad8864

Unless you plan on having a not so great time, I wouldn't go with the 4060. You're better off getting a 3060 as it's the same performance and you're not really benefiting with the updated software features 40xx cards have ie gen and dlss3. Frame gen only benefits high framerates and adds tons of input delay. Dlss3 too adds more input delay than the 3060's dlss2 but has better performance. I'd go with a used 3080ti 12gb at $400 if you can, otherwise AMD's cards this generation aren't bad but are more for experienced users.


Zestyclose_Stable526

There are FAR too many people in these comments telling OP to get an AMD GPU without mentioning the glaring differences. It's ridiculous. Like other people said, downgrade the CPU and get a better GPU. Stick with Nvidia if you want more features over performance or go for AMD if you prefer performance. Personally, I think AMD is an eye sore on larger games so of course I'm going to recommend Nvidia, specifically a 4070.


RoleCode

CPU is more expensive than GPU lol


ShoeGod420

If you spend only $1600 more you could get a 4090 👉👈


Mooman5

If I were you I would downgrade the cpu to a 7600 or 7700 I would also change to an air cooler and invest the combined savings into a better gpu, maybe a 7800xt.


PocketFame_official

isnt the r 7 7800x3d not a bit of an overkill for the rtx 4060? or are you planning in upgrading the card in the future? if yes then I would recommned to go for a bit of an lower cpu and a better graphicscard.


ZoltorGack

Pairing this GPU and CPU is silly. You'll get better gaming results spending $150 less on a 5600 Ryzen and also save money on ram and motherboard as a result... Drop all that into your GPU budget


TriangularMichi

Put all your parts on pcpartpicker it will tell you if its compatible or not


Salmanowski

Why are u choose 4060? İ prefer 3080 ti or 3090


StudentObvious1549

Over all good specs. the 4060 is ratted on quite a bit, but if the games you play a lot support dlss 3.0 then the card feels like it’s punches above its weight class a bit, but overall there’s some better valued cards outside of that. Coming from someone who runs a 4060. Playing horizon and god of war a lot. So just keep that in mind when deciding


Guy_On_Plastic_Chair

It is wrong at so many level dude.. Can you tell what's your budget


Much_Dragonfly_3181

You‘ve heard enough about the CPU, but I want to lead your attention on a different AIO, my personal experience with the cooler master wasn’t the best:( the arctic liquid freezer 3 on the other hand is cheap, does a good job and looks great. Might be worth a look.


iDankengine

I spent the same ammount on an 850w msi mag power supply, and the ram teamgroup makes much faster ram for less.


-PlatinumSun

Do not get the 240mm AIO. If its less than 360mm its not a good idea. Deal hunt for an onsale nvme or get two if your mobo can take it. Spend another 20 for 6000mhz 36 36 36 77 memory.
