Building a new PC
Building a new PC
Hey everyone! I'm new to PC building, especially for gaming on MMORPGs and mass PVP. I'm considering these parts:
CPU:
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-core, 16-thread Desktop Processor
GPU:
GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 4070 Gaming OC
Motherboard:
GIGABYTE A620M S2H 6400MHz (OC)
RAM:
CORSAIR 32GB (2x16GB) Vengeance RGB 6000MHz CL30 DDR5
CPU Cooler:
MSI MAG CORELIQUID M360 ARGB 360mm
Powersupply:
MSI MPG A850G PCIE 5 & ATX 3.0 Gaming Power Supply - Full Modular - 80 Plus Gold Certified 850W
SSD:
Samsung 990 PRO Series - 1TB PCIe Gen4. X4 NVMe 2.0c - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V9P1T0B/AM)
Case:
Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 V2 Black ARGB USB 3.2 Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower
Everything seems to fit together, but I’m not sure if it’s the best setup for similar prices. Would you recommend swapping any components for improved performance?
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
It would be best to match your processor with a B650 chipset, in my opinion. I’d steer clear of anything labeled with an MSI badge, for better performance. The rest of the build seems okay. Looking back, you might have improved your thread by adding details about the upgrade questions asked here and on the CPU forums.
X3D performs excellently in gaming; it isn't as effective as the underlying processor for other tasks.
Many games, including your own, rely on a single master thread for optimal performance.
You handle that well.
However, these games don't require advanced cooling solutions or the complications of liquid cooling.
A basic air cooler such as the Noctua NH-D15 will suffice.
As mentioned before, search for a B650 board with PCIe 5.0 SSD support. It should appear in the specs under storage interface, for example: 1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 25110/2280 PCIe 5.0* x4/x2 SSD support) (M2A_CPU) Actual support depends on the CPU. You can definitely find a 2TB SSD; it fills up quickly with just a few AAA games and other programs. Check out the Crucial T500 or Kingston KC3000 And you can pick a more attractive case. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product...
Thanks for the advice! I've switched to the MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI 6600 (OC) DDR5 socket with AM5, HDMI DP, M.2 USB 3.2 ATX, and the RAM to a GSKILL 32GB (2x16GB) Flare X5 6000MHz CL30 DDR5 AMD EXPO Black Dual Kit. The budget is tight, so I had to adjust the costs with these choices. What are your thoughts on this swap?
The tomahawk doesn't fit pcie 5.0 ssd but works well with a regular mobo. The MSI Edge is compatible with pcie 5.0 ssd. Alternatively, consider the Gigabyte Aorus Elite, ASRock Ripptide B650e, or Taichi Lite B650e. You likely don't need an expo memory kit; stick with the standard XMP kit. My Corsair Vengeance units are XMP compatible and function properly. Just update the mobo bios for a smooth experience.
