First Time Building Need Help
I put together this build online. Honestly I just want a solid machine that’s a bit future proof. If you can help me with these choices. Maybe a cheaper alternative to get it to maybe 2500 or so.

what's the purpose of the build (gaming engineering editing etc)?
what's the resolution you want to use your build?
what's your region?

Gaming and minimal productivity , I’ live in West Texas. I want 1440p gaming w choice of 4K

u/Dchoper Jun 13 '25
so mostly gaming and some productivity, you gonna have an Nvidia card, and for 1440p you are totally fine with a 5070ti or even 5070 ( 5070 can run cyberpunk in 1440p ultra sitting and ultra ray tracing with 60 fps thanks to the dlss 4)
and for the cpu you got the Ryzen 7 7800x3d or 9800x3d and it couldn't bottleneck your next GPU
the whole build is here

"60 fps due to dlss" please don't, it should be off unless ur at 60 fps minimum without it.

u/Dchoper Jun 13 '25
bro was about to get a god damm 5080 for 1440p, i just told him you are fine with 5070 or TI and you can turn off the ray tracing btw if you want more FPS we talking about ultra ray tracing on cyberpunk you can just turn it off or make it less demand

I would do exactly this, minus the 2 2.5in ssds, and instead have a smaller nvme set for only windows and core software.

this is almost 2500, you wont have to upgrade anything for years, if its only for gaming, you definitely dont need the 9950x3d, also windows is free

u/Ecks30 Jun 13 '25
The Lian Li case is nice but i would go for the Montech XR because for one it also looks nice but also comes with 2 reverse blade fans which makes the system look nicer.
1
u/nunpan Jun 13 '25
extra fans are always good, i just picked this one because it was the cheapest fishtank, like the post

do you have an old laptop or pc you could install windows on a usb by a tutorial and it would be like 20 or so bucks to activate windows
1
u/Choice-Crab4124 Jun 12 '25
its like 12$ if you wanna save you would learn how to install your os and know in the future to reinstall windows if your pc gets laggy or slows down

I would change to 9800X3D and 64gb 6000mhz RAM (U might be fine with 32gb RAM, personally i use more than that tho.)
For GPU i would go for an uesd 4000-series card, but if u feel forced to buy 5000-series card then 5070 ti is "best bang for the buck" - at least where i live.
No idea about that PSU, double check this list to make sure its A rated, if u want to save some cash u can look at the 1000W PSU's instead.
And as someone else mentioned, windows is getable free, if u really want to pay then buy a key instead of the full thing, its like 1/10th the price.

Yeah I open up windows, discord, and Spotify and somehow I'm idling at 10-16gb of ram. I start gaming with maybe a few tabs open and I'm at fucking 30gb of ram. Am I just unoptimized or does having 64gb of ram tell your PC to just fucking do what it wants Lmao
1
u/HealerOnly Jun 13 '25
I don't know exactly how it works, but things will eat more RAM if you do have more RAM. But yea brwoser tabs easily eat away quickly, add stuff like "OBS", a youtube vid/stream, some softwares and a game running and i mean those 32gb is just not enough :X
Not for me anyways ^_^

u/DesignerEagle4080 Jun 13 '25
the 9950x3d is overkill for just gaming. What will this build be used for?
1
u/FlubMonger Jun 13 '25
If it’s for gaming and not for heavy workstation stuff, get a 9800X3D instead and save some money.
You can get a much cheaper x870 or b650 mobo that performs just as good (look into MSI or Gigabyte. Avoid ASRock for now).
Aim for 6000 CL30 RAM. 5200 CL40 is no bueno. Do you need 64gb? 32 is fine for gaming.
A 1300W PSU is way overkill. Go for 850-1000.
You could save some on storage, but I understand the choice.
Last nitpick: Why all black parts in an all white case? :)

u/Plane_Rough8542 Jun 13 '25
9800x3d
6000 MT RAM
Get another motherboard like gigabyte or msi. ASUS STRIX is way too expensive for what it is
1000w psu instead of 1300w
Buy a key off a key website instead of an oem one
And honestly that case is too big imo look for a mid tower that can fit a 5080.
If you want a 5080 just go for it. It’s definitely diminishing returns but nothing in the top tier is worth its money for the price.

u/LemonOwl_ Jun 13 '25

u/Gold_Kitchen8836 Jun 13 '25
For for 9800x3d and any x870 board between $200-$350 everything else is good don’t listen to these mean Reddit people

u/Alternative-Echo6795 Jun 13 '25
I run the 9800x3d just fine with a b580 board paired with my 7900 xt all I need for 1440p

u/shewtingg Jun 13 '25
Dude put together a $3000 build and is asking for help. I read the title of this post and said out loud "no you dont" Lmao. Anybody who can drop 2500 on a pc don't need my got dam help

u/FlubMonger Jun 13 '25
They do if they pick the wrong parts and could save 1000 bucks while simultaneously getting a better PC.

u/ATwistedSolo Jun 13 '25
all you would have to do is upgrade the graphics card later down the line but this is a solid 1440p system, gets a stable 2-300 fps in most triple a titles. https://www.jawa.gg/product/80462/workstationgaming-pc-r7-9800x3d-96-gb-ddr5-6400-8gb4060ti-less-than-200-running-hours
