Hey there, I’ve begun a fresh build using an MSI 3060ti Gaming Trio Z from a friend.
Up until now, I followed the plan laid out last year:
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/pznyRK
(There are several variations of parts available for me to choose from later.)
The biggest challenge so far has been figuring out which components to select, especially since PCPartPicker is flagging a compatibility warning for the chosen MOBO:
"Warning: The Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor with BIOS version 2607. If the motherboard uses an older BIOS version, updating it will be needed to support the CPU."
I’d rather avoid any stress when it’s time to assemble the PC because of this issue.
So, I’m reaching out for suggestions on what components to include:
(Reminder: I’m aiming for a quiet build that keeps noise low while recording music and stays cool during 144Hz gaming.)
✅ Happy with the plan
❌ Not happy with the current setup
CPU:
[Max £300]
- Very committed to this choice. It offers great performance at the price, especially since it’s become more affordable, and it pairs well with the GPU.
CPU Cooler:
[Max £150-£200]
- Prefers a cooler build. The sound levels are supposed to be excellent for music recording, and temperatures will stay under control.
Memory:
[Max £100]
- Still deciding between two options, but leaning toward the white tridents for style.
Storage:
[Max £200]
- Perfect choice. It’s reliable, quiet, and maintains good temperatures.
GPU:
✅
MSI GAMING Z TRIO GeForce RTX 3060 Ti LHR 8 GB Video Card
-Already in my collection.
CPU Cooler:
[NZXT Kraken X73 73.11 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler]
- Slightly overpriced but offers a sleek design and strong cooling performance, ideal for recording music.
Memory:
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18
G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16
- Deciding between them, I’m leaning toward the white tridents for aesthetics.
Storage:
[Max £200]
- Excellent value and performance.
GPU:
✅
Crucial P2 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME SSD
+ Crucial P5 Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD
- Both were top picks when I was searching for Samsung alternatives last year; I’m keeping an eye on the 2024 models soon.
Case:
[£200]
- A solid choice.
PSU:
[Max £150]
- SeaSonic FOCUS GX 750 W, 80+ Gold certified, fully modular ATX.
I’m unsure what to pick for power supply since it came bundled with the GPU and I now don’t have it. I need something reliable, ideally over 1000W for future upgrades.
TLDR: I want a high-performance, quiet, and cool PC built around my existing 3060Ti, optimized for music production and gaming at 144Hz.
Any advice on the best MOBO choices would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
If you're aiming for a top-tier build, this configuration would suit you well. The 120mm fan is positioned inside the rear of the case to serve as an exhaust solution.
