That's true, but I wouldn't expect it to be true in all scenarios. If you're playing with high details in 4K on a 1060, you're going to be GPU-limited no matter what the CPU is. Hopefully it'll be a nice improvement for you: all the best with it.

Absolutely, and you'll probably get a reasonable increase with the 5800X3D (or the 5700X3D). I'm not sure it'll ever be amazing with the 6700 XT in an application as demanding as MSFS in VR, but I would expect at least some improvement. I guess one lesson is that when you do buy a new PC it...

With that said (and I don't disagree that a better system all round would be a massive improvement) you probably will find a 5800X3D or a 5700X3D will be a significant improvement. I'm not mad on that cooler because it's fairly noisy and not the most reliable but honestly those are reasons to...

Yep, that's exactly it. Realistically it'll be fine no matter what you do as long as it's vaguely a normal build. But it's a nice guarantee.

I'd just go with Amazon myself... https://amzn.eu/d/gu4MBKG Also available in white if you like that look. Edit: and yes, it'll fit any reasonable selection of components. If you go for something stupid like eight hard drives I'd want to do some more research, but anything normal will be just...

Aesthetic, 5.25" bay, fairly large, good airflow: you want the Fractal Pop XL Air with "send in my own case". It's a great case with so many features.

I would agree with every word of this.

Don't get the 14900KS. It's an ultra-marginal gain in performance for loads more heat and a decent amount more money. The H150i is the best cooler PCS stocks. It won't keep the 14900K from being thermally limited, but then nothing will. I would upgrade to the 1200W PSU in either case, given...

The Ryzen 9 parts would be good for rendering videos or running large language models. For running games would actually be worse.

Handsome machine. But someone seems to have put a figurine in the case?

I'm very confused by this build. It's a budget build (the 6500 XT in particular is a bad card by every metric), but you are spending £200ish on a 10Gb network card and a 1Gb router. That's a really odd combination, as the 10Gb card will run at 1Gb speeds since that's all the router can handle...

So there's some thermal throttling going on. This may or may not be a sign of a problem. It would also be useful to know the CPU frequency (all the cores) and the power consumption.

Given that the PC Is failing under load, load temperatures would be far more useful. Certainly those idle temperatures don't raise any red flags, but I'd still want to make sure that thermal issues aren't the problem.

Are those idle temperatures or under load?

What are your CPU temperatures? My first thought with that CPU and cooler is that you should see if your CPU is overheating and thermal throttling: if the cooler fails (which can happen) that could account for the behaviour you describe.

All improvements. What's the PC for? What monitor will you be using? I don't actually know what the timings on the RAM are; it would be good to know, actually...

The vast majority of the work of streaming should be done on the GPU not the CPU, so yes.

I would do the following: Change the case to the 5000X (not crucial, but just as good and way cheaper) If it's just for gaming, change the CPU to the 7800X3D as it's actually faster in most games. The 7950X3D is good for heavy duty tasks like video editing, but is of no benefit in games. Get...

This is an amazing PC but you have some poor choices. What stage is it at in the process? If it's still in pre-production you can still amend things like the RAM and the storage setup you've chosen...

I'd save about £400 of your money, and overall get just as good or a faster PC. Otherwise, you have the fastest PC there is, so what can I say? You're not very worried about budget clearly... Case CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER GAMING CASE Very similar case, a lot cheaper, and in my view...
