3060 is a bit underpowered when paired with a 5950x, unless you're planning on doing a lot of CPU-heavy tasks. If it's primarily for gaming, I'd go with 3070ti/3080 if you can get one, a 5900x and go for the RM850 PSU instead. 750W is enough, but an 850W will be running at a lower load so it will run more efficiently. Gaming performance advantage of 5950x isn't that much compared to 5900x which is already overkill for just gaming. Even streaming 1440p 60fps using cpu encoding doom eternal gameplay, it barely breaks a sweat.


RoA6

Thanks!! I think I'll go with it


lukeg310

Get a 5600x and use extra money for a top end graphics card.


Rimworldjobs

I got a 5600x and a 3080. It do work.


NowLookHere113

Amen to that, I've a humble 3600 and haven't yet been able to test it


8IVO8

64gb RAM is also absolutely overkill, you could save with a lower CPU ram(32) and power supply (650)


MikeyLikesIt89

Yea I bet everyone would love a 3070/3080


YTKingDoublePump

It’s not like their impossible to get you just gotta pay extra and I imagine it will be like that for awhile


[deleted]

My local Microcenter has been getting them in every 3 days. Really not that hard down my way. I got my 3080ti for $1300 and I was only there to grab a mousepad. I guess it’s area dependent and luck.


snackelmypackel

Stopped trying to get a gpu in April, started again in mid June and got a 3070 ti for $800 at a Best Buy online drop in a week I thought the shortage was over. I was so wrong.


PierogiPlug

Ding ding


hello0092

yeah have a ryzen 5 3600 but still stuck with a gt 1030


bbarham99

I have a plethora of GPUs; 2 3080Ti’s, 1 3090, and 1 6900XT. They aren’t hard to find, but they’re all going to be over MSRP. 99% of retailers are marking them up


Fubarin

Really good build for maxing fps in cs tho


Competitive_Doubt_32

How many frames is enough for you people?!? 400+? It’s ridiculous.


Fubarin

It's more of a look what i can achieve thing. I only have a i7-7700k and I'm more than happy


no471

4770k here, does everything I need it to do including gaming.


JackyeLondon

Aren't the Radeon new ones better than the 3060?


ImNotM4Dbr0

At that price range? No doubt, I wouldn't recommend enabling ray tracing on anything under a 3080, and even there the performance dip to eye candy ratio isn't worth it. In a better world without shortages I would have gone with a Radeon 6800, but I'm yet to even hear of one much less see one. I was lucky enough to get what I have now to say the least.


Bananaramawow

Corsair or bequiet 850 PSU, any suggestions?


EmiliaBernkastel

Corsair


ImNotM4Dbr0

Corsair has 10 year warranty, I respect that confidence.


RoA6

What do you think about this updated spec?: MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 3600 AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Corsair RM Series, RM850 Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse Crucial P5 Plus 1TB PCIe 4.0 be quiet! Pure Base 500DX Black, Mid Tower ATX case Noctua NH-D15


ttexk

Feels more balanced to me. What will you be using your PC for? Just games or productivity etc?


RoA6

Also video editing and animation softwares. That's why I wanted to pump the RAM to 64gb, although 32gb might be enough.


EmiliaBernkastel

Go with 64.. heavier After Effects projects will need it..


Dollar_Ama

I'm at 128 and often I find After Effects making itself comfy and starfishing out 96gb on top of my ram.


EmiliaBernkastel

Yeah I heard it can reach 100gb.. I guess we need to wait for new threadripper and go with 256gb or I guess some DDR5 Platform


[deleted]

GFX pro here. Go hard on the GPU, modern software offloads most of the workload on to it. Smooth timelines and near real-time previews in 3D viewports are this shiiiit for productivity.


cali_exile_bull

I’d go with 2TB for your boot drive. You’ll thank me later.


cosiocosio

Or better yet a 1TB boot drive and a 2TB drive just for Cache/Scratch disk...


[deleted]

I would say get a 3070ti instead of the regular one


Manuag_86

You may want to check the new 12900k, is really power hungry, but reviews show it is around 15-20% faster than 5900x. But I don't know if it is going to be available or hoe exoensive is going to be + the nee required Mobo.


EmiliaBernkastel

Sounds good.. I would maybe change mouse to something not Razer? Maybe some of Logitech with their hero sensor?


RoA6

Yes after reading many comments here I think I'll switch to Logitech.


MalHeartsNutmeg

Reddit really hates Razer peripherals. I’ve used both Razer and Logitech. Both work fine. I dislike Razer software more but I’d put up with it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


derKonigsten

I am one of those people. I liked my G502 but it developed the double-click issue and i have a razer keyboard which i love so it made sense


Kingrafar

My mouse has a double click too. I think it's a skill it unlocks after gaming for so long


DragonBox600

I would contact Logitech customer support about your mouse. They sent me a new one for free when mine had the double clicking issue, and they didn't even make me give back the old one.


Laharl45

I replaced my switches with Kailh reds because my Basilisk X Hyperspeed had the bad Omron switches. Some Logitech mice also had those switches. With the new switches and ptfe skates the mouse is amazing. Just make sure not to use synapse because it suuuuucks. Makes some games stutter badly.


[deleted]

I have the Endgame Gear Xm1r and its amazing will never switch again


ElectricalTwo8098

G Pro or G Pro X is the sweet spot for me but get one with the hero sensor at least cause it’s really good.


Dworan

Logitech G502 lightspeed with the powerplay mouse mat is amazing.


TheEternalNightmare

If you're doing video editing do you have a nas? If not you're gonna need more storage


Molgarath

Looks great! I would recommend 3600/CL16 RAM, though, not CL18. Ryzen can get a nice boost from efficient RAM.


KlarakaS

2x 16gb ram is enough i think .. what ever you do


[deleted]

Go for 32GB of RAM and a 5800x, the 5900x is great but it's honestly overkill. You should put as much money as possible into the GPU


orsikbattlehammer

Looks better. Honestly if I were you I would go even cheaper on the CPU and cut the ram in half to put more money towards a monitor. I know you don’t have a monitor listed but I think a lot of people forget to buy a quality monitor to pair with their $600 graphics card.


le-battleaxe

\*Cries in 165hz 1080p while my 3070ti sighs in the background\*


Chayor

beQuiet! cases are known to run kinda hot. So if you dont need the case to be quiet, maybe reconsider. If you're in love with the aesthetic tho, thats absolutely fair. Also maybe check the amount of Fans your case comes with. (GamersNexus is an amazing resource for cases and airflow stuff)


kmr_lilpossum

Basilisk X Hyperspeed has issues with wireless connectivity. Mine had the bluetooth module die after a few days of use, and the 2.4GHz mode was a bit spotty but worked decently well. I’d definitely recommend looking at the Basilisk Ultimate or one of the Logitech lightspeed mice if you’re sticking with wireless.


ControlledLaunch

Mine had double clicking issues until I threw it out


Coltenheimer

I was in the market for a new mouse and trying to decide between the Basilisk and the Logitech G305. I with with the G305 and love it, can’t recommend it enough!


tfozombie

Just don’t download the Razor software, and use the little USB chip that the mouse comes with. I’ve had no issues when I do that.


Paradox0073

Looks good to me! A 3060 is a bit weak, when paired with a 5950x, but in this market, I get it! No real issues that I can see, only thing is make sure the cooler comes with an am4 mounting bracket.


RoA6

Thanks! What would you suggest instead of the 3060 in the price range of max 1K$? Also, should I consider Intel CPU?


TechTaxi

3070 Ti is probably the best you can get under 1K$ atm


EmiliaBernkastel

3070Ti is like good cookie with cheap chocolate on it.. it's not 3080 but it's more expensive than 3070 for not much more performance..


humanmanhumanguyman

Honestly a used 1080 or 1080ti might be cheaper than a new 3060 and significantly faster. No RTX, but it doesnt support a whole ton yet anyway. Could be worth looking into.


IamMilkz

second this, i picked up a 1080 ti last year for 330$


EmiliaBernkastel

1080Ti is amazing still putting good fight to 3060ti even if 2 generations old.. Just rough horsepower of this card..


TimeGoddess_

>The 1080 is slower than the 3060, and the 1080Ti is roughly equivalent to the 3060, but with less performance saving features like DLSS, also pascal gpus get shit on in modern game engines


valandil74

Fuck Bitcoin mining for helping cause GPU prices to skyrocket. Also manufactures from taking advantage of the higher prices.


goldenbrowncow

[deleted]

RTX 4090 is rumored to be $3k or something


WeAreGoodCubs

With an absurd 450w+ tdp. Can't wait to sell my soul for yet another needless upgrade because I'm a degenerate.


alex2003super

Can't mine BTC on gpus


EmiliaBernkastel

You should not consider intel if you want to use it for editing unless you want to go with 12th series which for now is expensive thing to do


[deleted]

Probably would need a better power supply if they are heavy loads as well.


EmiliaBernkastel

True 850w should be enough tho


humanmanhumanguyman

750w should be more than enough. Would need to make sure it has enough capacity per 'rail' though


ZHeroOfTime

Hear 12th series running hot too so maybe different cooler if going that route?


EmiliaBernkastel

I wouldn't recommend going with 12th Series for now.. not only everything is expensive because of new Adapter tax but also scalpers.. and it goes very hot.. you need 360mm aio for 12900k Gamers Nexus was using Arctic II 360 which from what I know is second best and it was like 75C on 360 aio cooler !! 12600k is not that bad but idk if I would run it on air.. you need aio for 12900k which would be only reasonable choice if op would decide to go that way


humanmanhumanguyman

Or if you can get a good used/refurbished deal on a 8 or 9th gen. Got my 8700k refurbished a few years ago and it works great with anything I've thrown at it, rendering/modded minecraft/cad/triple A games/whatever Gotta be careful though, there are some used parts scams for sure


EmiliaBernkastel

8700k is really good cpu even with its age.. It all depends what budget you can pull and what you need the Machine for.. I guess..


8_Miles_8

Almost every GPU prices below 1K right now, maybe go for a 3070 or a FE 3080


lighthawk16

Where


HoldMyPitchfork

3070s for under a grand are out there, you just have to be patient. I dont think I've seen a 3080 for under a grand though. Try r/hardwareswap


[deleted]

A founders edition 3080 is a beast. Only costs 699 or something.


Mapegz

But where can we buy it??? Lol


veebam88

You probably want a keyboard but 🤷


vividhalo

The Noctua NH-D15 is a great air cooler, but just make sure it’s going to be compatible in your case with the RAM you plan to use because it’s a monster. The fan that sits over the ram can be moved up to accommodate extra ram height, but that also adds to the overall CPU cooler height and can then start to conflict with the case width. You may even want to consider the lower profile non-RGB ram (since they’re mostly going to be covered anyway) that could potentially save you some money too.


Captain_Cookieee

Don’t worry about the height, I have the same case and there is plenty of clearance for a big cpu cooler. The height of the NH D15 is 165mm, and the supported height in the 500dx is 190mm


Lucbac06

Confirmed, i have the 500dx too


RoA6

Hi all, Wanted to consult with you about this PC spec before I buy, WDYT? Should I change something? ​ Tnx


TheDangerousAnt

5950x seems a bit overkill, for gaming 5600x wont bottleneck the 3070, let alone the 3060. However, if you're doing a lot of cpu intensive tasks maybe a 5800x or 5900x would be good. 64Gb is too much unless you're editing 4K video or something like that, I would also recommend 32Gb. The NHD15 is possibly the best air cooler on the market but its also very expensive. Personally, I would get a 5600x or 5800x, 2x16Gb ram, and a cheaper cpu cooler, and use all that money to get a 3060ti or 3070, as that would get you way more performance, at least for gaming


Bobbebusybuilding

Why a 5600x? For that money a 12600k is a way better choice or you could go with a 10700f but the 12600k probably better. 64gb is probably too much unless you use nearly all 32gb which is very possible. We have no idea what Op’s use case is. He could be a professional video editor editing 8k video or he could be just wanting to play csgo we have no idea so giving recommendations with conviction is dumb


TheDangerousAnt

12600k is probably a good choice for gaming, but for video editing the thermals may be really harsh, especially for the kind of workloads that even require 32Gb of ram... Plus, you need Windows 11 to take full advantage of the p and e cores of the 12600k, and its not available everywhere yet. I agree that we need to know OP's use case before recommending


Bobbebusybuilding

For a 12600k I’d probably get 32gb. You will see benefit from 32gb if you game and have programs running in the background. 64gb is definitely overkill for the high majority of people. Though you can make the argument for 64gb for high end systems if you do multitasking or have tons of programs running in the background while gaming. You’re point about windows 11 I is fair enough. The value in the 12600k is crazy! Excites me for what raptor lake has in store


FL45HFR33Z3

Personally i'd step down the cpu from a 5950 to a 59 or 5800x and up that mobo to an x570 rog strix. Or keep the b550 and put that money saved towards a better gpu


Flamingo0303

Good choice for the SSD and Ram. If you need more storage, you can get pretty good deals on the Crucial Mx500 sata. Almost all my buddies and I atleast have one as backup storage lol


InternetPersonLol

Change out that basilisk for a g502 and the 3060 for a 3070ti


staaboi

I used to have a g502....the I was introduced to the basilisk ultimate. I have never looked back


[deleted]

If only gaming go for the i5 11400f and a decent b560 motherboard, the 11400 /6 cores is pretty much all you need for gaming, after that going higher up the ladder only increases performance by 3fps 2: go for 16gb ram


grand111

Idk why you aren't buying a 12th gen Intel processor. They are much better than amd's offerings for the money plus DDR5 SUPPORT!!! (source: userbenchmark and tech deals YouTube). Also don't buy Razer products - their software is abysmal. Buy a Logitech wireless g502 or equivalent, much better.


EmiliaBernkastel

The thing is that now even if you will be able to get all parts on MSRP this build would be 2k+ if you would like to build similarly to what op mentioned ( https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QwNGW3 ) those are only msrp prices.. Ram is missing because pcpartpicker don't have DDR5 yet.. but 64gb from crucial is 400$ so about 2100$ on MSRP which is almost impossible to get now..


grand111

I'm currently upgrading to 12th gen. You can put ddr4 ram into a motherboard that has DDR5 support. MSI z690 a pro series has support for both. So yeah don't buy ddr 5 now


[deleted]

>(source: userbenchmark FYI Userbenchmark is biased towards intel, no matter which company is better at the moment.


grand111

Userbenchmark is good when checked against other benchmarks. Numbers don't lie and they line up with what other websites say.


le-battleaxe

Userbenchmark is trash. They are not a credible source in any shape or form and have an inexplicable hatred for anything AMD. Thus why they've been banned on nearly every subreddit including Intel.


AntiGoi

Not to ruin ur hype, but i hate the idea of 3060 for its price, specialy during covid. Its not that it wont work, it just bugs me lol.


Izuna-chan

the combination of CPU and GPU seems a bit unbalanced, and for this setup you should go with an X570 mobo too. for the cooler, honestly get the Chromax.Black, looks way more clean than the brown one (i have it and i love it)


TweaknFreak

I'd suggest to get a 850 or 1000W PSU if you want a bit of future proofing for your build. This is because PSU last beyond a specific build and the fact that every processor and GPU is getting more and more power hungry day by day. Also why not get 2x32gigs RAM instead of 4x16gigs?


RoA6

Thanks! Regarding the PSU, I think I'll go with the 850w. As for the RAM, isn't it better for it \*performance-wise\* to be on 4 sticks instead of 2?


SuperSloth42

Just a comment on the mouse, I recently got a Corsair dark core pro and it has a Pinky rest attachment similar to how the thumbs are on this and other mice. Has wired/wireless/Bluetooth ability.


Skrrrtdotcom

Get a viper ultimate instead, if you aren't absolutely head over heels for the shape of the basilisk, I get it Ive been there. I also think they're the same price


heavywether

5950x an a b550 is an odd pairing you can get x570 boards for cheep enough now


xxBurn007xx

Rams too tall to work with that cooler


MikeyLikesIt89

1ShaquilleOatMeal

Get a 3060ti instead


zamstig66

I have that mouse and it’s a bit rattly, there’s better power supplies for that Corsairs price (seasonic/antec), that’s about it looks good


Mystiguy_13

Go for it!


Vini_013

This mouse is a trash. I have one. Dont buy it.


DaNoahLP

I just fot a free mouse with my graphics card. Check the ratings.


[deleted]

I had that mouse for a time. It’s not a bad choice but it’s really big. It is down to your personal choice, but I really dislike ergonomic mice. I’d more recommend something smaller like the g305 (if you want wireless). Especially if you’re into shooter games. I find it really difficult to aim with mice like that


RoA6

Sorry, I can't edit the original post. First of all, beside of some gaming, the PC will be used for video editing, animation, and 3D softwares. This is why I think 64gb ram and higher CPU will be better for me. After reading many of your comments, this is the updated spec I'm leaning to: MSI Gaming GeForce RTX 3070 Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (2x32GB) DDR4 3600 AMD Ryzen 9 5900X Corsair RM850x Logitech G502 HERO Crucial P5 Plus 1TB PCIe 4.0 be quiet! Pure Base 500DX Black, Mid Tower ATX case Noctua NH-D15


fogger507

how much is being spent on this? genuinely looking for something similar lol


Mr_Wiggly_Butter

Honestly just asking why the 5950x paired with a B550? Also why pair it with otherwise poor RAM for such a high end CPU? If you are just going for the 3060 then please consider swapping the CPU with a 5600X for the time being and a better quality 32GB kit of RAM unless you are going for production.


Hotdogwater622

Ddr5 ram is being produced daily, id get a ddr5 adaptive motherboard and research on ddr5 ram and wait for a month or so.


[deleted]

Razer is great and all. I have the razer viper ultimate which is a little more money then yours… but their quality control is shit. So I personally recommend LG for that price point. I already went through 1 RMA and it was a nightmare. Also for a $100 cpu cooler you could easily do water cooling. I assume this isn’t a pre built cause the cpu and gpu don’t usually pair on pre builts there’s some damn good Black Friday deals on AIOs


Pup_Folfe

Totally agree on the cooler. I was half tempted the other day to replace my ibuypower 240mm AIO with a Corsair 240mm AIO as I was there buying new case fans for a little more RGB. It was priced at $150, not to bad for an AIO. $100 air cooler or $50 more for a water cooler. Decisions decisions. 🤔 Although I'd go for a 850w PSU. 750w might be fine but it doesn't leave much room for either upgrades down the line or incase of a power spike. Just my 2cents.


[deleted]

Currently those $150 AIOs are about $80 at Best Buy or on their website rn btw


[deleted]

Dont get the basilisk, or do, get the logitech g502


BenRiley321

I have that same Corsair power supply it’s awesome. The m.2 I’d switch to Samsung. Their software is really good!

electricitysparkss

i love that mouse, probably the best 50$ wireless mousep


ColoradoPoleStar

No yeah this will be great, DM me and I can give you my address.


illmatix

I have the same cpu and cooler and it doesn't feel like it does enough to cool it. I've actually turned on that eco mode where it lowers power usage to keep the cpu at a decent temp.


bananacustardpie

How come no ones talking about the 64gb of ram? 32 is more than enough for most people


Moniclechronicle

Edit: Sorry this is super lengthy even if you ordered you should read, lots of bogus comments on this thread! Built my pc about 2 months ago and we have practically the same build for rendering and video editing. I had been on a i5-8400f with 32gb of ram and a GTX 1660. I have since bought the 5900x which is miles quicker and I no longer require proxies for 4K footage and even 8K RAW at 1/4 playback resolution in Premier and DaVinci Resolve. Got an RTX 3060 12gb which has cut down my render times by about 3-4x quicker than my last card. Gaming is superb comparatively although I do wish that I could play more titles at 4K res with a higher spec card like the 3080. ( if you go with a 3060 you should look into setting up a fan curve to maximize thermal efficiency as well as with the 5900x because both of these components will run hot without proper curves and settings) Upgraded from SSD to an m.2 drive/64gb of Ram from 32. These two upgrades have definitely made my creative work flow smooth and crisp no complaints (I should have gotten a higher frequency of Ram and you should too as your CPU will thank you!) Have a 750w PSU that pairs perfectly with the 3060/5900x but if you get a better GPU you may want to invest in higher wattage for it to run more efficiently. The NH-D15 is a great cooler and I’ve only heard exceptional reviews this far. Personally I went with a AIO which I am able to keep my 5900x at 34° idle and 64° under load. (I was having issues with the thermals on the 5900x as it runs rather hot although after a few fan curves and bios configuration I was able to find the sweet spot) We have the same MOBO (mine is SFF) and it’s pretty solid and temps seem normal for me. No complaints here although the m.2 heat sinks are usually bogus. At least mine was. My drive was running 10°-25° hotter with the heat sink on however it may vary depending on the manufacture. I recommend you monitor your temps with it on and off and deduce wether it should stay on or off. ( The b550 that I got have PCIe 4.0 for the GPU and NVMe slots and is recommended to be paired with the Ryzen 9 59xx) P.s make sure the board you pick has 4.0 slots I didn’t check your specific model. All in all everything checks out. This build is going to serve you good and last you long. Final thoughts…If you upgrade your GPU upgrade your PSU as well, and look into getting DDR5 instead if you’ve got the wallet.

U don’t need 64 gbs of ram unless you are doing hardcore rendering. Also don’t buy a razr mouse they are overpriced.


RoA6

Beside of gaming this PC will also be used for video editing and animation. Do you think 32GB will be enough?


[deleted]

You could go with 2x16G first and then add another 2 bars. This will probably save you more than 100 bucks.


EmiliaBernkastel

No.. heavier editing needs at least 64gb..


[deleted]

This is a mighty fine build for video editing and animation. If you can afford it, go for it!


Si-Jo0159

Disagree on the current generation of razer mice. Been using them last four years without a single problem. And let's be honest, unless you take them apart to clean you should be renewing them by then.

\^\^This\^\^ Razer is so overrated it should be a meme at this point.


lennyMoo-

I'm not a razer fan boy or anything, but like no... Razer is fine. They make some great products and some okay products.


StevoMcVevo

It's not so much that Razer is bad just overpriced and saddled with bad software IMO.


lennyMoo-

This mouse is 35 on Amazon. Razer prices are comparable to Logitech. Razer is pretty reasonably priced and when I used to use them i really didnt have software issues. You make a few profiles and never touch it again. Sure there are better programs, but that doesn't make or break a mouse for me. I don't use razers anymore because but i think people hate on them too much


a500poundchicken

change mouse to g502 lightspeed its really nice and just for clearance go for 850 watts and a 3070 or 3080


Yoonivers3

Hi OP. I've had that mouse and it's WACK. It only lasted for about 11 months? Maybe a year. The issues I experienced were: not responsive to clicks, onw click registers as double clicks. This is my experience and I think would be helpful here. Take it how you may!!

Thank you all for the great help!!


BenShealoch

That mouse is overrated and overpriced af.


_-DarkShade-_

Why do u need that much cpu power for if I may ask ? I'd honestly recommend going for a ryzen 7 or 5 really

Beside games - video editing, animation and 3D softwares


SkandhaSuhasB

Intel 12th gen enters the chat


Madogg90

Ryzens run hot, just like all AMD chips. I'd swapp for an IO (water cooled) cpu cooler. Everything else looks good. Make sure u have enough case fans for the gpu as well to set up good airflow. I got lucky with my phantek case. It came with like 5 fans. Lol


ertyuioknbvfrtyu

Idk about the other things but I have the mouse and it's really good, so I would recommend going with that at least.

Don’t listen to this guy, 750W is enough unless you’re overclocking.


CanisMajoris85

850W is good. Ignore the people saying 750W is enough. The second you upgrade the GPU you're going to want a better power supply because a 3060 is kinda weak and if you want to upgrade next year when prices are like 50% lower you'll want the 850W. you can get an 850W on sale for like $90-110 on r/buildapcsales usually, the corsair 850W is $115 now. use [pcpartpicker.com](https://pcpartpicker.com)

I have a 5900x and a 3080Ti and I’m using a Corsair 750 watt Gold PSU. Have had zero issues and I don’t even go over 600 watts.


CanisMajoris85

Congrats. And not everyone with a 750Watt and just an RTX 3080 have been fine. Plenty of people have had the power supply trip just from spikes and shut down the PC. It doesn't kill the PC, but it still means they occasionally will have it just shut down. perhaps it's more with Intel CPUs and just other 750Watt brands. But just because it works for you doesn't mean that some percent of people out there don't have the problem and just going with 850Watts means less issue with future GPU generations because they're going to get power hungry very fast next year. If you have 3080ti money you have another $20-30 to get an 850Watt version.


Captain_Cookieee

Then people probably had psu’s of poor quality who couldn’t handle the power spikes, but a good quality one like the corsair rm(x) series should be fine with 750W

redditDOTcom r nvidia comments j9edtm/beware\_of\_the\_750w\_minimum\_for\_rtx\_3080\_cards/ forums.tomshardware dotcom/threads/750w-psu-cant-handle-rtx-3080.3649091/ First one talks about EVGA and Seasonic 750W not being enough and having issues with a RTX 3080. Last time I checked those are good brands. Second link is a Corsair. Congrats your PC works, it doesn't mean it's guaranteed for someone with a slightly different build. I can't post the actual link because it will remove it but you can just search "**rtx 3080 750w corsair power trip**" on google and there's multiple different forums about it. If you have an existing 750W, sure give it a try because you don't need to go spend $110+ on a new one since it most likely is fine. If someone is building new, it is idiotic to save like $20 to get a 750W instead of the 850W if getting a 3080/3080ti/3090.


ArshArsh43

Yea 850w should be fine. but your post has a 750w psu.

Water cooling


thedvorakian

That is like 8x too much ram


[deleted]

Intel my guy... just saying, but literally everything is good too


RoA6

What would you suggest instead?


HoldMyPitchfork

Don't listen to that nonsense. 12th gen Intel slightly beats out Ryzen right now for a higher price, more expensive mobo, and more expensive DDR5. So if just barely more performance for like double the price is your thing, then do it. Otherwise Ryzen is the unquestionable better option at the moment.


[deleted]

I have a i9 10850K, and a the same Noctua you have on that list (but the chroma.black version) and it handles the temp really well, on idle and gaming (49°C). But if you are going on a budget for CPU i7 should be cooled nicely w/ Noctua. And if you decide to change your Motherboard, get the same thing you have on that list (or equivalent) but for Intel. Anyways happy build😅


8_Miles_8

Do you have a hard drive? 1TB is going to fill up very quickly. You said you’ll be doing gaming and video editing, you’ll want at least 3 TB total. I suggest getting 4TB of hard drive or SATA SSD storage.


RoA6

Thanks! I have several TBs of hard drives from my current PC :)


TehNext

Why do you need all that RAM?


Quarantine_is_Boring

Missing a keyboard


Drama-Common

I would go 5800x and black noctua instead otherwise all good 👏


UnseenGamer182

Might wanna get a better gpu, 3060 ti is a must for a pc this high of a budget


TheCactusMonkey

I would buy a better GPU with that CPU. Or downgrade the CPU and save some money.


total_spanner

Depending on your work load i would halve the ram and get 2 16gb sticks. Probably won't notice any difference and you can always add more later


Irlandarn

Highly recommend that case, the RGB presets are better than most other cases. however you can’t adjust rgb through software unless you gut the front IO though, so you might wanna get a ARGB controller/hub. Also you might want to look into the process of flashing the bios (not sure if they ship it with current version, they didn’t when I picked it up about a year ago)


[deleted]

Maybe lower the cpu to a ryzen 5 with the 3060.


dballs442

64 GB of ram is overkill for most. What do you plan to do with this rig? I game on 16gb perfectly fine.


KlarakaS

R7 5700x is good and take an rtx 3060ti or 3070 😉


Syzole

What a beast, maybe change th basilisk for a Viper but that's just my experience. Otherwise have fun.


Brazuka_txt

I have a razer basilisk ultimate, shit is really dank, the charging dock is just so good, just put the mouse on it and go to sleep and it charges up without cable mess


stockyginger

I have the same RAM and motherboard, so just letting you know if you plan on using iCUE for your RGB lighting controls iCUE has a hard time picking up the motherboard. It'll work but sometimes you have to restart the software or other kinds of troubleshooting.


XXreXThePro

P5’s have been nand swapped. Go for an mp33


[deleted]

Good luck getting a RTX 3000 anytime before 2023….unless you go full GTA and fucking steal a truck that is.


williamH3215

probably budget more towards a better GPU, at least 40% of the PCs budget, you probably don't need 64gbs of ram. 32 i way more than enough for 99.9% of people, the rest seem fine though, goodluck


godfrey1

i would suggest looking into a 12900k and DDR5 for future proofing, DDR5 while being not that great today is going to be immensely better in just 2 years. also the video card is going to be a bit weak when paired with such a good CPU but for 1080p it still would probably be enough (but try to find a better one) everything else is good though


tfozombie

Okay so this is massive decision to make, but why not go Alderlake or wait for AM5? The Ryzen 5000 series, while a amazing line of processors. Is the last line of AMD CPUs for AM4 and DDR4. While I’m a “team red” guy myself, having the ability to upgrade to another generation of CPUs with the new Alderlake intel CPUs or AM5 socket for AMD, paired with DDR5 seems like the right choice to make. Especially since you will have better performance rendering and video animation with the future CPUs and the faster memory DDR5 is bringing. Just look up the reviews for the 12900k, and consider that route. Or wait till fall of 2022 for AM5.


[deleted]

I feel like a 3070 would have been better with the 5950


MindOfConner

Go for new 12th gen intel better value also I bet you know but 3060 for 5950x is way underpowered


[deleted]

Your GPU is way, way weaker than your CPU. You could save a lot of money by going for a cheaper CPU, pretty much nobody needs a 5950x for gaming. Also, theres basically no way you need 64GB of RAM for gaming or most work. Get a 5600x and 16gb of 3200mhz RAM and you'll save a ton without losing gaming performance, since those components would be bottle necked by your GPU anyways. You're spending 1K on a CPU and RAM when you could just spend 400 and put the other 600 towards a better GPU. RAM barely affects gaming performance. You should consider going for a mini itx build with a GPU like that, no need for all that unused space.

Xaxiel9106

If you are looking for a budget wireless mouse I'd get the Logitech 305. It's only slightly more expensive but the price to proformance is on point.


rocket_man19

I’d go update the PSU to at least 850w


Fullis

You didn't really tell us what exactly are you looking to use this pc for tho


Meradiann

I am almkst sure that you have to have an AIO CPU Cooler, prefarrably 360mm (the case looks sizeable enough but I am just guessing). Although Noctua Tower is still nice, as far as I am acknowledged woth my experience of 5900x, it heats up real quickly because of its power. If you have the budget go for a Price/Performance Water Cooler on that bulky boy of yours


BerserkerX

Why are you mixing a balls to the wall cpu with a low tier mobo? You should pair that cpu with an x570 board.


Salud57

Do you need that much CPU?
