you should not be getting a 5600x with a 10k budget, thats a different kind of machine. and for the cooling get a dark rock pro 4, not an AIO.. stick it in a fractal meshify C case and buy extra fans

Here I thought you guys might like to see how it turned out:



I ended up returning the AIO I got and built out a custom loop with blocks from EKWB. Lots of complaints about them floating around the web but so far it's working perfectly, fingers crossed. CPU and GPU climb to around 65c/40c respectively when gaming. Went with a 5900x and the 3090 has an active backplate to cool the VRAM so I can mine with it, although I haven't yet. Only complaint is the coil whine, but nothing can be done about it. I have the case optimized for airflow so it just is what it is. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Also I upgraded the prospective RAM and the PSU

coil whine?

furmark overnight

tonight at OP's house:

Don't listen to any of these fools. They have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

5600 is a terrible choice for a 3090. I would know. Already been there, made the mistake. Roll with an 11th generation Intel.


Optimal build@ probably 5K to build it:

11900KF (yes more cores do make a difference for the 3090 and any 3 series card, I would know from personal experience)
OR 11980XE

3600mhz ram 64gb corsair vengeance (XMP in the bios) or find some 4000mhz with native 3600 clock speed

any decent motherboard should do, make sure it isn't am4 socket obviously, then ensure it has support for your ram and is pcie 4.0 for nvme and the gpu slot.

COOLING
don't go with water cooling. Bad idea. Just get great airflow and buy noctua fans 140mm and 120mm PWM for a silent computer. Water cooling has tons of issues, anyone experienced knows the truth in this. E.g. Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM, Premium Quiet Fan, 4-Pin or the likes


Graphics, 3090 if you want, but honestly even a 3080 and EVEN 3070 is PERFECTLY FINE unless you're in graphic design or video editing. But, if you're building for the demands of 24GB VRAM future titles, you're right on the 3090. Your choice though, you'll be happy with any of these cards, they can all run 4k well for nearly any game. Only buy gigabyte. The other card brands have issues and do not perform as well due to the the components being cheaped out on, I don't think anyone else here can tell you they've bought multiple series cards from many different manufacturers.

Do not bother water cooling your 3090, it will not overheat with a decent airflow setup, and overclocking it doesn't do much at all.

Power supply, Titanium rating 1000W + seasonic. Top of the line. Don't go cheap here.

Processor cooling: Noctua dual tower dual fan like the NH D-15 Chromax.

Storage:
the Samsung 980 is okay but the SN850 Black by WD is better. Get both of them and see for yourself.


Honestly with a $10,000 budget you could build an absolute monster of a computer. This setup should cost you about $5500 or less at inflated gpu prices.

hard agree with the water cooling, and Noctua is obviously super-solid I would get something similar.

I don't agree with the Gigabyte thing, I would pick them nearly last depending on the product category. I guess they've done you well? I've only had and heard of issues, do they still sell that exploding PSU?

I really like Noctua and I highly recommend them for air cooling. If he has a $10,000 budget, I would go with a Corsair custom loop all the way for one reason. The only dust one needs to worry about is in from the radiator fans.

What will that do for me?



Thanks for the post brother, build is complete though, check the pic and my last post.



I'm actually thrilled about the water cooling. Best thing I did with it tbh. Temps are ridiculously low.





Went EKWB with some Aquacomputer components mixed in.

Very nice! EKWB's Black nickel kits are a great deal at $249-$279. I'm assuming you got their high end kits though?
