First PC Build - Need recommendations.

[formal smelt]

you have the budget for all ssd

[rugged burrow]

Not as much as you can get on HDDs

If you hoard data, SSDs aren't worth it

They most likely meant NVMe SSDs

That one is SATA

What about your case btw? The list doesn't contain one

Nah

That'd be a standard choice, yeah

You're on a budget where you can take a case you think that looks pretty good

If it has mesh at the front it's gonna be fine as a case, exceptions being fishtank cases

Which one

Glass side panel or mesh?

It's genuinely only about what looks better, really

What Pcpartpicker is saying that the case may block drive bays, which is fine

So you might not be able to install HDDs on some of the drive bays

But I doubt you'll need it anyway

I'll optimize the price a bit, but generally the list is fine

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/FJn29c

• Cooler changed
• RAM changed due it being unlikely that the CPU's memory controller will be able to handle this RAM (Realistically it will, I'm just doubtful)
• Changed the HDD to a NAS drive that's made for actually hoarding data
• Changed the GPU to a smaller one so it doesn't interfere with the drive bays
• Case added
• Added a set of fans to populate the rest of the fanslots
• Mobo changed because uhhh I forgot which one it was but it's cheaper anyway so meh

Sure.
Deliberately went with fans that are easy to install; the 'PST' in the P12 PST stands for the ability to plug several fans into each other while only using one fan header.

Then you have this list, yeah. But do come back around december though, as there very likely will be a whole new catalogue of products out there that may or may not be better value.

Looking at the second list (glad to see the problems solved from the first list) the only thing that you might consider is upping the Power Supply to 1,000w. Current gen setups (both AMD and Nvidia are extremely power hungry. With the money being spent on everything else, the small increase in price to pad yourself is worth it. Also, by going top of the line with everything, 4k gaming will be a breeze. Upping your monitors to 4k seems the proper thing to do. 1440 is great for gaming, but that can be easily done for around half the price you have listed. (a 7600, at under $400 will run 1440 without breaking a sweat.) the one bottleneck on PC performance in this setup will be the monitors.

[lime galleon]

No reason to

Tdp on pcpp is 600w

Also please stop recommending the rx 7600

That thing will barely get 60fps at 1440p ultra

• only 8gb Vram

The RX 6700 XT is a much more reasonable option for 1440p

[upper knot]

OK. I need to do more comparisons. My recent checks showed it outpacing the 6700, But I'm only going off a few site comparisons. It was the price drop that got my attention and starting my comparisons. I admit to discounting the 6800 and above, thinking the prives were still up there, but it looks like they dropped as well.
Kind of handy to try to help another bargain builder, only to get a good education on the things I missed. Going to take all this into acount in my upcoming bargain build.

• Upping to a 1000w is unnecessary if the PSU is good, especially when the system shouldn't exceed 600w in the first place and only adds unnecessary spending.
• No, they are not power hungry, especially not Nvidia 4000 series. Their whole shtick is that they're extremely power efficient. Genereally speaking the 7900 XT is a 300w card, which is fine for this setup.
• 4K is not necessary either. Most people even with a 4090 play at 1440p (Steam charts are readily available and tell enough of a story) and if you go 1440p at 27 inches it's basically the perfect experience.
• No, the monitor in the list is great, especially for gaming, as tested and reviewed by rtings, so there isn't any 'bottleneck'; https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/gigabyte/g27q

It's about having performance, there's no need to go with a 6700 XT and implying it will perform the same. It will not.

He is at a budget where he can justify going high-end, there's no need to needlessly go with ultra value and vastly downgrade his system

[lime galleon]

I wasn’t saying the 6700xt would perform the same as the 7900xt, I was saying that at the same pricepoint as the 7600 ( under $400 ) that the 6700xt would be a much more reasonable option if someone plans to play at 1440p

[rugged burrow]

That's pretty much irrelevant, there's still zero reason to even mention the 6700 XT or the pricepoint, it doesn't change that you'll downgrade his system severely for no reason

[lime galleon]

Why not get this ram instead, better cl timings https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/YnBG3C/gskill-trident-z5-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6000-cl30-memory-f5-6000j3040f16gx2-tz5rk

Also why are you buying a reference model of the 7900xt

The lower the better

Helps a bit with 1% lows

Also all the fans should fit inside the case

[rugged burrow]

Because X3D doesn't care

You could put CL36 in there and it wouldn't do much

[lime galleon]

And generally speaking CL32 is the sweetspot for every kind of RAM. If you need it do be better, OC the RAM and then you also have a nice project to do

It's talking about a cooler mounting bracket, that usually comes with the mobo or cooler, so dw about it

Fan compatitibility means that pcpartpicker doesn't know how many of what kind of fans fit in there, but that's fine. It will fit the five 120mm fans I put in the list.

The red disclaimer is a disclaimer that the BIOS needs to be updated before using the product. That's actually part of the reason why I changed the motherboard, so you don't have to hassle yourself with this in case it arrives not updated

That's fine then. I'd still recommend you to go with ethernet since a really long cable is like $30 to $50 AUD, it's not that much (even cat6e)

Is your router on the attic? That's interesting

Ah, ic

I don't really see the need to hide it, I personally just route it along a wall, doorframes etc- hence why I just buy like a 65 foot cable

Common Australia Ls kek

Anyway, if Wifi just works anyway, then that's good

You'll figure out the BIOS thing, maybe contact the seller and see if they can update the BIOS beforehand. Who knows.

Yup. If it comes down to it, if you have a local pc shop or something, you can also just ask them

Sure. I usually don't help with build-a-pc, I don't like the forum thing, but why not
