I'm setting up my first PC and have this setup in mind. What do you think about it? Is an 850W power supply sufficient, or should I consider more capacity? I haven't planned to buy a GPU just yet because the prices seem high. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is my top choice for the CPU. The motherboard I'm using is GIGABYTE X870 Eagle WIFI7 AMD AM5, paired with a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE CPU air cooler. For RAM, I've got a Crucial Pro DDR5 kit of 32GB at 6000MHz. The SSD is a SAMSUNG 990 PRO 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280. The PSU is a CORSAIR RM850x.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer! I'm setting up my first PC and have this configuration in mind. What do you think? Is an 850W power supply sufficient or should it be increased? You're encouraged to format your thread with specific questions from your post; *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice*. Initially, this was inspired by many requests for upgrade guidance both here and on CPU forums, and I believe... forums. so participants can offer helpful tips. But 5070 Ti is my top choice. RX 9070XT is the recommended option. Processor: Ryzen 7 9800X3D Motherboard: GIGABYTE X870 Eagle WIFI7 AMD AM5 Cooling Fan: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE CPU Air Cooler RAM: Crucial Pro DDR5 RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL36 SSD: SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 PSU: CORSAIR RM850x I usually include a second SSD for the operating system, apps, and launchers—unless gaming is your main focus.

What is your budget, where are you based in the world, what resolution do you need, and are you using parts from your existing computer?

Have you bought any components already? How will your device primarily serve its purpose? In which nation are you based, and what is your financial range?
