@unborn night let’s start here

Best gaming CPU
5080 - Dw, 50 series is great.
Now just about what you’re after

#

I added a panoramic case, some nice fans and a good AIO to match so it’ll look the part

#

And that’ll run ANY game in high setting 1440p for you for years

Ryzen 7 doesn’t look good on a £3000 pc

9800x3D is built for gaming

#

It’s the best one on the market

night slate Sep 13, 2025, 11:38 AM

#

Exactly

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 11:38 AM

#

It suits well

night slate Sep 13, 2025, 11:38 AM

#

Yeah

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 11:39 AM

#

9900x3D is an extra £112 if you wanted the extra cores. But they won’t all benefit from the 3D Cache like they do in the 9800x3D

#

Motherboard has WiFi included too so don’t worry about the PCIE WiFi Card

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 11:42 AM

#

i've only heard bad things about the 50 series, that's my only concern really. everything looks awesome sauce. can i ask why u chose the 5080 over other cards?

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 11:43 AM

#

For me the *080 cards are the sweet spot

they handle gaming in most resolutions we use
it doesn’t cost the bomb an *090 card does
Plenty VRAM too so you can push the games

#

If you want a 4k gaming PC you’d want a 5090

#

I reckon we can conjure up about 1,000+ 50 series users who are fine. The horror stories just get amplified lol

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 11:44 AM

#

i see. okay, perfect. and regarding storage, is it better to have two drives or is one typically fine?

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 11:45 AM

#

One is usually fine but depending on if you want mass or fast storage I’d suggest a second to be safe

#

Would you rather another m.2 (small, fast, affordable for 1-2TB) or go for a mass storage SSD with a bit more space but slower speeds?

#

Windows will go on the current m.2 so will be speedy

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 11:47 AM

#

well, i currently have 2 TBs on my PC and it's been totally fine. that is two seperate SSDs

onyx coralBOT Sep 13, 2025, 11:47 AM

#

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @unborn night, you levelled up to 2! :tada:

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 11:47 AM

#

so i think another m.2 would be better as i doubt i'd need THAT much storage space

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 11:47 AM

#

Sure thing let me add that

CPUK offer engravings also if you wanted to get anything onto the glass panel.. not too spenny either

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 11:49 AM

#

thanks for that. i appreciate your time! do u know how this case opens for cleaning?

#

also overclocking, is that worthwhile? never really looked into it

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 11:52 AM

#

It’ll be a screw or 2 usually on the connecting part of the panel to the rear. Just pop off once unscrewed and you’re done

night slate Sep 13, 2025, 11:52 AM

4 would be great

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 11:52 AM

#

And nah. CPU’s and GPUs boost very well on factory
OCing voids warranty also, and in case something goes wrong you’d not be covered

night slate Sep 13, 2025, 11:52 AM

#

unborn night i see. okay, perfect. and regarding storage, is it better to have two drives or ...

You can have two though

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 11:53 AM

#

And the OC service they offer probably won’t make any difference. They don’t recommend it themselves more often than enough!

night slate Sep 13, 2025, 11:53 AM

#

unborn night also overclocking, is that worthwhile? never really looked into it

Is the case provided ok

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 11:54 AM

#

looks awesome. happy with everything so far, my only realy concern was the 50 series cards. but honestly, as long as it performs well i can't really complain, 40 series prices are insane now.

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 11:54 AM

sweet. i'll avoid that then for sure.

Is it the graphics card?

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 11:59 AM

#

night slate Is it the graphics card?

yeah, i was concerned with them leaning into AI stuff. i don't like the idea of AI frame generation. too janky

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 12:01 PM

#

It’s helpful in some games that support it

#

But with those specs you don’t really need the extra frames anyway

#

The cpu will carry games hard. The GPU will make them look pretty

#

Or savage.. depends what you’re playing I guess Lol

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 12:02 PM

#

well i'll be playing borderlands 4 the second this thing arrives, also got some work stuff on it as well with video editing. needs to do both

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 12:02 PM

#

I have a 7800x3D + 3080 currently and even now I don’t struggle on anything

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 12:02 PM

#

despite the awful performance reviews of the game

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 12:02 PM

#

Hahaha that’s most new games tbf

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 12:02 PM

#

yeah it's getting a bit crazy

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 12:03 PM

#

And it’s bloody colourful and has a billion things on at once

#

Teething problems !

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 12:03 PM

#

hopefully so! last question from now then i guess, is there any way to get this thing to come sooner?

onyx coralBOT Sep 13, 2025, 12:03 PM

You can add a rush service to take priority in the build Q

#

Lemme get you the prices

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 12:03 PM

unborn night Sep 13, 2025, 12:05 PM

#

perfect. thanks for all ur help. i really appreciate u taking the time to help me out. i've been struggling to settle on a build for ages.

#

is there any sort of code i can use at checkout to give u some kind of comission for helping me? like an affiliate code or something?

hoary hornet Sep 13, 2025, 1:09 PM

#

unborn night is there any sort of code i can use at checkout to give u some kind of comission...
