  • The biggest thing is I’d say get at least a 750w if not a 1000w PSU. I did some research for when I got my 6950xt and it (at least used to) spike the power consumption to where you can get framerate issues without a 1000w Psu. If you want to forgo that at least get 750w so you’re in the better range for PSU efficiency of around 80%.

    Based on your other comment I would like to ask if you need a 12 core cpu you could sacrifice a little bit of core count and get a 7800x3d (if they’re in stock/a reasonable price) or even keep the core count and get a 7950x3d and you’ll get a nice ~20fps bump in most games. You could go with the classic 212 Evo for the CPU cooler to bring down costs a bit to meet your budget.

    Overall everything outside of the PSU size looks good, you have the right speed of ram and all that







  • As the other commenter said, what is your use case?

    Overall it looks solid, the CPU outpaces the GPU a little bit but if you plan to upgrade that in the future this is a great first upgrade.

    You could probably go with air cooled but we’re talking ~2-30$ of savings max for maybe more sound.

    If you’re making this for gaming get a 7700x3d

    I’d highly suggest you get an nvme SSD at some point in time ideally in the 1-2tb range, it’ll be a huge improvement you can notice right away.

    Overall the build looks good, some min-maxing you could do but we’d need more info to be sure.
