TOP PC - assistance - 9950x3D & 5090
Hi,
I’ve already decided on some parts for my upcoming PC build, but I’m unsure what to pick for the rest:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9950X3D
GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 5090
RAM: G.SKILL 2x48GB 6000MHz CL28
SSD: WD SN8100 2TB
Now I’m looking for a motherboard that can connect everything, a reliable power supply, good CPU cooling, and a suitable case.
Do you have any recommendations?
If performance isn’t a big factor, I don’t want to overspend just for it. Speed matters most.
My main software includes:
Topaz Video AI
Topaz Photo AI
Topaz Gigapixel
Adobe Lightroom
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe After Effects
Adobe Premiere Pro
It’s mainly about rendering, upscaling, and editing with big files.
For gaming, I don’t plan to play much, but I need to run all current games at full quality, preferably with enhancement mods (GTA V VR / Cyberpunk VR / Skyrim VR / Indiana Jones VR / Alan Wake 2, etc.).
Thanks in advance!

Ensure you have a power supply of at least 1000W, ideally around 1200W for demanding tasks. Choose a motherboard that matches your intended connections—consider speed requirements like 2.5Gbps network, WiFi 6E/7, and USB ports.
