You'd be perfectly fine with the 9800x3d CPU if mostly gaming, the 9950 is more for productivity
Also you'll want 6000speed RAM (your choice of 5200 is pretty slow I'm afraid) - its very much the sweet spot for AMD
You can choose with GPU you want, they will be very similar, but some really like the look of some over the others
Is there a reason you've gone for so much storage? (20TB is a lot)

Thanks for the input, okay I'll change that. As for why so much storage I've got big steam library and media library. And it's only going grow with time. So i want make sure can fit it and anything else with ease.
Zloty?

here's what I'd recommend with your budget, the corsair coolers already come with a premium paste pre applied, all that does is force the tech to scrape and clean the paste off the cooler and apply paste again, waste of money and the tech's time.

I didn't know that, okay won't add that. Again noob, is there reason for 32gb over 64gb ram. Wanting to learn, is 64gb too much?
astral scroll
for most gaming 32GB is already a little excessive, but a lower option that fits better just isn't really available
windows from the word go already horks down about 8-11GB idle, and games RAM requirement is moderate, another 10 or so is normal, but 24GB kits are rare as rocking horse poo, as a 32GB kit is next best

Okay thanks, I'll go with that then. Thanks for the suggestions and help guys. 😁

This will be an absolute monster build, there’ll be lots of jealous faces in here.
We would love to see some photos in #1128254319859355698 when it arrives 🙂
Out of curiosity, what monitor are you going to pair this with?
tall kelp
That's what I want, it will be my first PC. And I'm off mindset go big or go home. As for that, for now it be up to a TV (I know horror).
Looking to move in near future, so I'll be waiting to then for a monitor. When i have more space for one. Besides the TV is really good and got things like ps1,2,3 & 5, steam deck, wii, switch all connected. And will do, 😁
astral scroll
is it at least a proper 4k tv, no upscaling or any other such trickery?
