Hi,

Ive been in search after a new PC. I've found one with these specs:

ASUS TUF Gaming Geforce RTX 4070 Ti
AMD Ryzen 9 7900 CPU
Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 5600MHZ 64Gb
ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming
ASUS TUF Gaming 850W Gold PSU
2TB SSD

IS there something that I should change?

How much is it and what are you using it for?

Is this only for games? If so, change the CPU to a 7700 non-X, and save some money. Or go all out for a 7800X3D, and get the best gaming CPU currently in the market.

BTW, do you have a CPU cooler anda case already?
And at what resolution are you playing?
Also consider buying DDR5 6000, as Zen4 really likes fast memory. And do you need 64GB? Games are only now starting to require 32GB, it will take several years until 64Gb is required for any game.

i thought the 7800X3D wasn't out yet? and i dont think we have any benchmarks yet. wouldn't the best be a 13900K or a 7950X3D? but yeah a 7700/X would be a good choice at least until the 7800X3D

games can already use 20-25GB which doesn't leave much headroom going forward. 32GB would be fine but if you want it to last you 4-5 years then i'd go with 64GB if you can fit in your budget. of course priority would go to a better CPU/GPU before RAM.

The 7800X3D releases on the 6th of April. It's just a few days away. I'm sure he can wait a bit.

I haven't seen any game on my PC using that much memory. In fact, I don't remember seeing a game using 16Gb, already considering the OS and that I usually have Brave open in the background.
Do you have a ton of things open while you game?

For 1440P gaming yes. for 4K gaming you may need more VRAM but not really that mandatory unless you crank up everything to max for no reason and you dont use DLS/FSR. Everything else looks ok I guess.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Go for at least 1000w PSU just in case you want to upgrade to the 50XX series in a couple of years and save unplugging it all again to change it.

Not mandatory just my two cents.

 

[Sweden85]

Thank you for all the help. I will see if I can upgrade the PSU and RAM to 6000MHZ and lookout for the 7800X3D. Awesome guys

Just consider that, because you didn't state any budget, somethings might be expensive.
For example, the 7800X3d might cost over 500 euros.

The budget is between 3-4000. Trying to future proof myself for awhile

Ok.
Just be careful, in the case of the 6000 memories, that speed is a decent overclocking for AMD. So you might have to tweak some voltages.
Or you can run the same kit at 5600 or 5200, but lower timings.

If your budget is 3-4000, you should be doing a lot better than a 4070 Ti.
The current build you've got here is like, 2200 max.
