Current Build

Spent about 3 years saving and buying parts on sale.
Not the best parts anymore by far, but she runs cool and is dead silent on ultra with any game I've played.
.... Might have some algea now, hence the old picture.

Nice, I throw mine on my credit, buy and sell parts when I need.

If you do it right it's a relatively small one time expense usually only costing a few hundred bucks every few years.

Case: NZXT H510
MB: Gigabyte B650 Auros Elite AX
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X 4.6Ghz+ 12 Core-24 Thread
Storage: Samsung SSD 980 EVO Plus 1TB NVME M.2
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaw S5 2x 16gb
PWR: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G7
Cooling: DeepCool LT520 Premium Liquid CPU Cooler, 240mm
GPU: AMD RX 7900 XTX

Awesome build here, runs many games 4k 120fps, 2-3k 240fps+

I had the money and credit to buy a top end GPU and went with the RX 7900 XTX as it rivaled RTX 4080 and 4090 in many benchmarks. RTX wasn't a real concern but it does it fair enough.

240fps+ is a really awesome experience nearing real time rendering of sub 3ms rendering, super fluid animation and response time of nearing 0ms.

120fps is great at around 8ms rendering latency. 360fps is about 2.8ms, it would soon be a real benchmark for performance but around 2-3k, 4k may be a way off.

Only thing I would change is upgrading to one of the 3D processors, next year. GPU should be good for a generation or two.

Have fun!

I'm so jealous of everyone rocking the 7900X.... I've been putting off cleaning the algea out of my loops because it's going to be a complete tear down, but I think I'll CPU swap to a 7900X when I do.
That or wait until I can get both a 7900X and a 4080ti
I think my next full build will be AIO cooled though, I love the silent aspect but it was a massive pain in the ass to build, and will be to maintain.

You gotta get another two sticks of those Ripjaws though dude!

Don't really need more than 32gb of ram lol. I don't do production or anything and gaming has more than enough memory between 24gb of vram, 32gb ram, 1tb of ssd and open page file.

The 7900x is amazing, it's running everything on near single core and knocks anything out at light speed between 12 cores 24 threads lol.

No real bugs though. The 3D processors are about 10-20% faster with the caches, they're said to be optimal for gaming.

But I'm not even certain if that's like Igpu lol? I hadn't really read it but the 7900X is more pretty much smoking everything within percentages of Intel's 13k's.

I'm not crazy about fps but it's nice, this is the build I put together having sold my Razer Blade 15 laptop for $1500 and threw the gpu on credit.


I'm pleased 360fps is the new standard.

I'd definitely look at the 7800x3d for a gaming build over 7900x. 7900x isn't anything special unless you're doing some heavy rendering or something other than gaming. If you're running an Nvidia card a lot of software will run faster off the gpu anyways.

Ya, I'm waiting until the next gen, sell my 7900x and get an 8000 series 3D after I see the benchmarks.

the 3070 ti is better for pricepoint
