Hi there,

Hope you're all safe. Was wondering what you think about this configuration (even though I won't see the AMD Ryzen 9 or the GPU before some time :D). This will be mainly for gaming, video editing and VR.

Cheers !

Hi there! A few questions first. What's your budget? And what monitor do you have? Either make and model or resolution AND refresh rate would be great! That 3080 would be pointless if you have a 1080p 60hz monitor!

Hey Junior,

Thanks for your message.

Here are the specs:

Samsung ultrawide QHD 16:9
1440 P
120 Hz

Budget 3600€

Cheers.

I'd recommend:
  • upgrading the cooler to the Corsair H115i Elite Capellix
  • removing the extra thermal paste (as it comes pre-applied with the cooler)
  • paying the £5 extra to upgrade the 1 month collect & return to the 12 month collect & return Silver warranty
  • removing Bullguard (at best it is a waste of time, and at worse it causes more problems than it solves)

Depending on how intense the video editing this is the build I'd go for

For the case, is quietness a factor you're looking for particularly? the Be Quiet case is designed to be quiet, but is also very expensive, a great case for airflow is the 5000D, but will be louder. The 64GB of RAM and 5900X is on the extreme side, if the video editing is more of a hobby, I'd step down to a R7 5800X and 32GB of RAM which will be a better combination for gaming too. Plus you'll be able to upgrade to the 3600mhz speed RAM. I'm a little confused by the monitor, you've said it's an ultrawide then said it's got an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is the standard aspect ratio. For a 1440p 120hz monitor, the 3070 will max it out and will be perfectly capable of VR too. Plus, it's a few hundred Euros cheaper and has a considerably shorter wait. For storage, I've gone for a super fast 500GB Gen 4 M.2 for windows and programs then a 1TB SSD for all of your games and a 2TB HDD for all your general files. I've upgraded the CPU cooler to the H115i as really it's the only option for the 5900X, this is what I'd keep if you were to step down to the 5800X too. The 5000D stupidly only comes with 2 fans so I've added 2 fans which will help improve temps. I've removed the antivuris as it's known to cause issues and the Silver warranty is well worth the £5, although considering the cost of this build, you might want to step that up further.

Solid build by @JUNI0R. The 5900x really needs the STRIX motherboard to handle it but aside from that it should handle all of your requirements.
