The project is set for a five-year future with 5120 x 2880 resolution and over 60 frames per second on top-tier games. Power consumption isn’t a concern; I’ll only upgrade to an RTX 5090 if the RTX 3090ti falls short.

Hardware Specifications:
- Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 I Aorus Pro Ice AMD AM5 LGA 1718
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with APOGEE Drive II WaterBlock
- RAM: Trident Z5 RGB DDR5-6400, 32GB x 2 CL32
- GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 ULTRA with EK WaterBlock
- Monitor: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED, 240Hz, 0.03ms response
- Storage: Crucial P310 2280 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe
- Power Supply: CORSAIR SF1000
- Display Arm: HUANUO TitanLift Heavy Duty Monitor Arm for screens up to 49", supports 44 lbs, aluminum ultrawide screen desk mount
- Chassis: Keyboard tray – this implies direct placement over fans, resulting in high noise levels and necessitating a custom loop.

Cooling System:
- Custom Loop with Radiator: Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta Full Copper 200mm x 200mm x 90mm
- Fans: Dual Noctua NF-A20 PWM chromax.Black swapped
- Pump: Swiftec Apogee Drive II

Almost every component is available, and I’m prepared to start assembly. Should any adjustments be needed in the Bill Of Materials, I’ll inform you promptly!

TIA,
Larry

I don't believe it's realistic to say a 4-year-old GPU will still perform well five years from now, though replacing GPUs isn't the most difficult task. Waterblocks have become quite costly, just like the 5090. Everything looks fine as it is.

Well, I don't believe it's fair to say a 4-year-old GPU will last five years from now, though replacing a GPU isn't the most difficult task. Waterblocks have become quite costly, just like the 5090. Nothing is inherently wrong with the current options.

Someone suggested checking a 6000MHz Neo ram kit to avoid compatibility problems with your AM5 setup. Regarding the power supply, you asked about the SF750 or SF1000 options. Please note two points: 1. You shouldn’t overclock, and 2. If you do, consider upgrading to a higher model. TIA Larry

Are there any factors preventing you from reducing the 6400MH RAM due to compatibility concerns?

It's not about lowering the clock speed, it's more about ensuring compatibility with your system = dealing with POST problems. Usually, since I don’t know the cost of the RAM package you’re purchasing, let alone which specific model from G.Skill you’re considering, if you’re spending more for a speed you won’t use then those resources would be better used elsewhere. You might opt for a slightly higher frequency, but you’re not matching the 9800X3D exactly.

The Neo series of RAM is built for AMD's AM5 platform (the DDR4 Neo models were made for AMD's AM4 platform). The non-Neo models are intended for Intel’s systems. When you browse their offerings, they don’t combine both profiles into a single product.
