My first computer build

[severe rock]

Step 0: Change that list to public. List details > uncheck “private”

[grave shoal]

oh woops lmao

[severe rock]

ur good, its a common mistake

[grave shoal]

fixed

[brave ocean]

If you want you can separate your games from your os so you can have more games installed then you would otherwise

[severe rock]

the 4080 is a spectacularly awful card for the price

you could spend an extra ~$300 for 40% extra performance (4090), or spend ~300 less for still more performance (7900xtx)

[gentle pilot]

that 4080 is $240 overpriced

well actually $600 overpriced but it wont be last gen msrp for sure

gpu is 350w, cpu is 80w, a 550w woul dbe fine on this pc and a 1000w is severe overkill

is the build just for gaming?

cpu makes me assume yes

[grave shoal]

mainly for gaming yes, but i do voice editing/ little graphic design here and there

[gentle pilot]

hmm

is the extra performance for graphic design worth $400 extra to you?

[spiral orchid]

4080 isnt bad, just get a 4090 or down grade to a 7900xtx if you wont use rt

[grave shoal]

i originally had the 4070 ti but i saw the price and said "the 4080 is literally not that far from reach price wise lol

[gentle pilot]

agreed

[spiral orchid]

4070ti will be very good

still

[severe rock]

that 4080 is bad

[gentle pilot]

i see you want 1440 240hz so a 4090 actually makes sense

its viable if you want to max out heavier titles at least

[grave shoal]

i should also say even though i want these high end parts i wont be on 4k that much but it will be nice to have the option

[gentle pilot]

do you want to vertically mount gpu?

[spiral orchid]

id go for 4070ti then

or 4080 if u really want

[gentle pilot]

i mean the xtx is much faster and around the same price tbh

[grave shoal]

think ill stick to just regular sideways

[spiral orchid]

true

i wish that benchmarks included dlss/fsr

[gentle pilot]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7B7G34 just something i put together, some stuff could be changed if you wanted but its a baseline

[grave shoal]

as long as its really high end and will last me for sometime. i already have the case lol

[gentle pilot]

monitor wise, if youre arent doing comp gaming then a 4k 144 would make more sense than 1440 240

[gentle pilot]

do you need fans?

[gentle pilot]

does 3440 x 1440 interest you by chance?

[grave shoal]

i dont have any i just bought the case, i dont think it came with fans

[spiral orchid]

yea then id go for 7900xtx

[spiral orchid]

you will not use ray tracing right?

and do not plan to go 4k

[grave shoal]

id like to use rtx and go 4k sometimes, i just understand that going that high lowers fps

[severe rock]

1440p144hz ultrawide is way better than 4k

[spiral orchid]

go 4080

[gentle pilot]

then a 4090

[gentle pilot]

not for all

[spiral orchid]

or 4090

[gentle pilot]

id say 4090 since ironically its better value

better performance at 4k and ray tracing too

[spiral orchid]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QPcG34

[grave shoal]

so if i do go with a 4090 will the parts i have on my list be compatible ?

[gentle pilot]

do you want 28 inch or 32 inch monitor

[spiral orchid]

yes

just changed them

[gentle pilot]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xtstt7 should be enough fans

[grave shoal]

i guess 32? id love a nice size but i dont want to go ultra wide

[gentle pilot]

no need for a 1000w tbh, even 750w gives him overclocking headroom since the transients are under 500w on the 4090

though i wouldnt oppose an 850e

[spiral orchid]

its just for future once he upgrades

id atleast go for 850

[gentle pilot]

850e is only $119 so i guess so

[severe rock]

psu is the only component that might be worth futureproofing

[spiral orchid]

• get the msi gaming x trio it has great cooling

[gentle pilot]

[grave shoal]

hmmm

what if i decide to keep my list but just changing the 4080 to a 90

[spiral orchid]

it would still be good

just change cpu cooler

[severe rock]

yes

[spiral orchid]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/w8C489'

im ngl idk to much about good aios

i know corsair makes good ones

i j dont know which specific ones are the best

[severe rock]

what about air cooling

[grave shoal]

so the cooler i had on my list comes with 3 rgb fans

[spiral orchid]

so does the one i listed

its up to you

ive just heard better things about corsair but it shouldnt matter much

[grave shoal]

ah ok

[spiral orchid]

actually

urs is good

[severe rock]

do you really want an aio? also, what country are you in?

[spiral orchid]

its an ek which is a good company

[grave shoal]

tbh i dont know what i need and dont need. i live in the us

[spiral orchid]

its more of looks for an aio with that cpu

[severe rock]

id def recommend the thermalright peerless assassin/phantom spirit. theyre ~$40-$50, and have basically almost as good cooling performance as an aio, as well as incredible reliability

[grave shoal]

so they do the same process just cheaper and reliable

[severe rock]

yeah, because theres no pump to fail

the only thing that can fail on an air cooler is the fan that can be replaced for like $10

and the dual tower coolers have 2 fans so youd still be fine for temps while waiting for a replacement

aios definitely can look nicer, but its all personal preference. for example, i would much rather have an air cooler because i think i would like the look of mega fin stack sticking off my motherboard. others, would think that looks horrible.

[grave shoal]

i see

but thanks for the suggestions everyone

[grave shoal]

is the founders edition worth getting?

[gentle pilot]

no

unless you want the aesthetic and its within $50 of the original model, then no

[grave shoal]

have a suggetion ?

i dont really like zotac

[gentle pilot]

pny verto then

[grave shoal]

anything by asus or msi

[gentle pilot]

product matters, not brand

[grave shoal]

i just like trusted brands i heard of lol

lot of scammy ones

[gentle pilot]

that "trusted brand" asus made motherboards that were exploding cpus and didnt allow warranty of them either

temporarily

[grave shoal]

thats fair i forgot about it

then zotac it is then, i just hear bad things about their cards

[gentle pilot]

if you want something not china then pny is fine

but havent heard any issues about the zotac one

or pny

[grave shoal]

will it fit in my pc if i go with the zotac ones

i will be sticking to my parts that i chose just the gpu change
