Question My new pc build for review
Question My new pc build for review
I believe upgrading my setup won't be necessary, so do you think it's okay to build with 5700x3d/5800x3d now? The rx6800 seems to work well here, especially in a tight budget.
Alternatively, you might have an idea for something similar to the rx6800 from Nvidia that offers comparable performance at a better price.
I recommend keeping the 12600kf with DDR4 memory for now. Upgrading to the 14700k is possible after a BIOS update. Regarding GPU performance, you can check these links: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WM...-r...-68xlaqfde The Intel CPUs tend to run warmer; the Phantom Spirit cooler seems a better option than the Fera 5. https://www.techpowerup.com/review/intel...en/21.html
I update my upcoming build details:
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700X
CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B550-PLUS
Memory: G.SKILL Aegis 16GB [2x8GB 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 XMP 2.0 DIMM]
Storage: TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z 512 GB 2.5" SSD
Video Card: Radeon RX6800 SWFT 319 16GB GDDR6
Power Supply: ENDORFY Vero L5 Bronze 700W / Cooler Master MWE Bronze 750W V2 80+ Bronze
I don't know the power requirements for this setup.
I also recommend the i5 12600kf. A decent z690 board shouldn’t exceed the b550 you picked, offering more upgrade options later if needed.
This is the power supply I currently use. It seems to have a Tier A rating, around 125, probably a promotional price at Newegg for $90.

Nvidia and amd offer similar value for price and performance across all levels. Tom's guide to GPU hierarchy provides useful comparisons. Staying with the video driver you’re used to makes sense. The same logic applies to processors too. Price per performance should match. If you’re comfortable with Intel, RAM isn’t a major issue. Ryzen, however, demands quick RAM for optimal results and comes with more compatibility challenges than anticipated. If you choose Ryzen, ensure you purchase only supported RAM modules. Thermalright coolers perform well. Bigger twin tower models provide better cooling and are quieter. They’re reasonably priced. For the power supply, opt for a stronger unit than you think necessary. The cost difference between 750w or 850w units may be modest. This setup supports upgrading to a more powerful graphics card in the future. But... choose a reliable PSU. Aim for at least a 7-year warranty, preferably 10 or 12 years.
In my view you have two choices: an Intel 12600kf setup and a 5700X3d configuration. For now I’ll skip additional storage and stick to the SSDs from your last build to achieve better quality components.

For the money I'd go with one of the 2 builds above. Personally I lean toward the intel build but either is going to be good imo. Check the link above for the corsair 850 watt power supply. It was 90 I think at newegg with a promo code.
Actually here's the link again. Found it. Looks like with promo it's the same price as the 750. So should give a bit more headroom.
