Seeing other threads made me think I should get my components checked over before I assemble this PC. I currently have most the parts but can return as they were just purchased this weekend.

Would love to keep the theme of all white.. open to suggestions, I do not want to change the case though.

My current build is not within my budget that I would like to keep. Some suggestions of where I can cut costs, but what will I be sacrificing? Money isnt an issue, just dont want the build to get out of hand.
I currently did ddr4 build, not sure if the jump to ddr5 is worth it or not?

I only game on this PC.. no photo editing, strictly gaming.

This is a sick build.

I would switch out the Samsung 970 NVME for the 980 Pro series or something like a Western Digital Black SN850/Crucial P5 Plus.

Might as well take advantage of the PCIE 4.0 speeds, especially if you're gaming the load times will be beautiful.

Thoughts on DDR4 vs DDR5? And I was hoping to cut some costs, adding the 980 adds costs lol, albeit only $40

Go with the Western Digital Black SN850 it's less money and actually faster than the 980 pro. People see Samsung and they buy it for the name, which it is a great NVME but the WDB arguably better.

And DDR4 IMO unless price doesn't matter, DDR5 prices still a bit high for the benefit

The Samsung 980 is actually 10 bucks cheaper for me here.

Nice def rock that one, that upgrade is definitely worth it.

i heard the fan is loud on that sfx coolermaster 850

this one is coming out soon wait for the review

we got the same gpu

havent finish my build yet slowly collecting parts
so far i got this
3090 white strix
Corsair S​​​F750 750 ​W​​ 80+ Pl​at​i​num
nr200p black
Noctua NH-​U12A chrom​ax.black
G.Skill Ri​pjaws V 32​GB (2x16GB​) PC4-2880​0 (3600MHz​) DDR4

Yeah I feel like I need a 1000W psu… I have a Corsair RM850x in my current build but not sure if it will suffice.

Pcpartpicker also did not give me any options for 1000w. Not sure what the compatibility issue was

yeah theres only 1 sfx 1000w psu maybe corsair will release a new one this year lol

I don’t think you need SFX to fit in that case tho. I have seen several YouTube builds where they use the RoG Strix 1000W in that case

Edit. Nvm guess you do need the SFX. I looked back at said videos and they were using the lian li dynamic not the mini. My bad.

Is 850 enough for a 3090?
