Do you require a fast verification of component compatibility?
Do you require a fast verification of component compatibility?
I’m planning to invest roughly 7000-8000€ in the PC itself. I reside in Austria, Europe, and don’t believe I’m close to a Microcenter. I’ve already chosen several components, but this is my first build, so I’m uncertain about compatibility. I’m seeking a gaming configuration capable of handling 4k/240hz in tough games while maintaining quiet operation. At the moment, I won’t be doing any overclocking; instead, I’ll undervolt the GPU to achieve quieter performance. I’m unsure whether I need to undervolt the CPU as well...
Parts already selected:
CPU: Ryzen 9800X3D
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G SUPRIM SOC
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero
SSD: Samsung SSD 9100 PRO 4TB, PCIe 5.0 (main drive with Windows 11 Home)
SSD2: Samsung SSD 990 PCIe 4.0 4TB (for gaming)
PSU: Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 1600W Noctua Edition
RAM: G.SKill Trident Z5 Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
Additional components already decided:
Mouse (using the one I own)
AULA F75 Keyboard (wired connection)
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Heaphones (wired version)
Still to decide:
Monitor (needs 4k/240hz and preferably OLED – no matter the shape)
Possible alternatives:
CPU cooler – quiet liquid model that supports silent operation even under load; I’m considering a liquid cooler with silent mode, and I’d like to swap fans for Noctua. Looking into Arctic Liquid Freezer Pro, but it’s too bulky for my case and the fan size is too thick for Antec... would it still fit with the Antec case?
Case options:
- ASUS ProArt PA602 Wood Edition Tempered Glass (case size mismatch – 190mm vs 210mm; could I remove drives to fit?)
- Antec Flux SE (uncertain PSU compatibility and fan size)
- ASUS CASE (fans available but need verification)
- ANTEC CASE (fan configuration suggested for balance with AIO)
Thermal Grizzly Contact Sealing Frame AM5 (installation ease and performance impact?)
Extra note:
Are CaseKing and Amazon reliable sources for ordering? Or should I purchase everything from official sites?
Also, please confirm if any components don’t mesh well or if there are superior alternatives. I’m open to tips on installation, part selection, and cable management instructions.
Welcome to the forums, new member!
I reside in Austria.
If you visit this site;
System Builder
pcpartpicker.com
you should select Austria in the country dropdown and check for a compatibility list for your components.
For your RAM, consider 2x32GB kits featuring AMD's E.X.P.O. as advertised on the packaging or their website. If you need parts from G.Skill, search for their Neo memory range.
CPU: 9800x3d (delidded for improved performance...not sure about mounting options, please share advice)
For those just starting out, I recommend avoiding delidding.
The thread was moved from the Components section to the Systems section.
Thank you very much!
If you visit this site; you can select Austria as the location in the dropdown (for countries) and you’ll also see a compatibility list for your components.
Appreciate it, I’ll take a look. Unfortunately, it doesn’t manage fan compatibility with the case, which is my main worry for this build.
For your RAM, consider 2x32GB kits featuring AMD’s E.X.P.O as advertised on packaging or their website. If you need options from G.Skill, search for their Neo memory series.
I’ll go with the G.SKill Trident Z5 Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory. Thanks for the suggestion!
For someone new to this, I’d advise against delidding.
Thanks, I’ll just search for a high-end AIO that can handle silent mode well.
To ensure compatibility for fans, review the specifications page for the case you wish to purchase. For example, the Antec Flux SE or PRO models. In the specifications section it mentions "FAN SUPPORT," detailing which fan sizes fit into specific areas of the case. This applies similarly to radiator placement below. Whenever a 140mm fan fits over a 120mm case, choose the 140mm model. Larger fans require less speed to move the same air volume, making them generally quieter. There are superior fans available beyond the Noctuas, though they might be harder to obtain in Austria compared to the Noctuas. The Phanteks T30 120mm and 140mm fans are also excellent options, along with the Lian Li P28.
