I need suggestions for my dream pc build (budget around 2000€)
Posted by TheDarkGrenadeX@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 13 comments
I have finally started saving up for my dream pc, but I need you help to make sure I made the right choice.
I will be using this system for Content Creation(editing photos and videos in davinci resolve, lightroom) and for office work(Wordpress mainly) and for playing more modern titles I ve been wanting to try.
I pretty much went for a mATX system and since I don t really care how it looks, I went for the cheapest options but still great performance when it comes to components. I am wondering what else I could do to make it best value for my buck in this regard.
Here s the setup:
PSU: GIGABYTE P850GM, 80+ Gold, 850W
Case: Deepcool MATREXX 40 3FS
RAM: Viper Venom 32GB DDR5 6400MHz CL32 Dual Channel Kit
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2GHz BOX
MOBO: ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS
SSD: Crucial T500 1TB PCIe Express 4.0 x4 M.2 2280
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5070 VENTUS 2X OC 12GB GDDR7 192-bit DLSS 4.0
Cooler: ARCTIC AC Liquid Freezer III Pro 240 Black (AIO) or CPU Thermalright Assassin X 120 V2 PLUS (Air Cooler)
thank you all for the help!

If you are doing a lot of other production outside of gaming you might go for a 9800x. The x3d line is pretty superior for gaming, but not the best at generally use and other tasks.

Great build, not much to say about it other than personal preferences,
if it was my build, i'd probably try going for a 9800x3d if i could squeeze it out of the budget, if you can't the 7800x3d is an amazing choice, epseically if you can get it for a good price
and i'd for sure get a 9070xt instead of the 5070 since nvidia drivers are a mess, but my usecase is a bit different since i don't care for creative software that benefits nvidia stuff that makes it worth the hassle
I see you listed 2 coolers, i personally use a liquid freezer III Pro 240 both on my 5800x3d, and 5950x, and i'm very happy with them, main reason i switched was case compatibility since my NH-D14 doesn't fit in a 4U case, and a Dark Rock Pro 4 has no chance of fitting in a 3U case whatsoever, so i switched out both for the AIOs when moving cases from desktop to rack mounted. I haven't tried the other cooler you listed, so i can't comment, but i've heard good things about the 2 tower variant of it, out of these 2, i'd probably go AIO purely for the larger surface area that can drink up short usage spikes without ramping up the fans

I keep hearing about Asus motherboards killing the X3D chips. I would buy a different brand. I never had any issue with MSI boards.

I just built a mATX that looks pretty similar to this. I think the build is good for your stated purpose. Personally, I chose the 9070xt over the RTX 5070, I just think it’s a better card for the price. I also went with a ryzen 5 cpu so I could afford a 9000 series instead of having to go for the previous generation. I know it’s only 6 cores but temps never go above 72 even at max load. Overall your build looks great, maybe just some things to think about.

Thanks. I was thinking of a 9000 series gpu, but atm I am not too familiar woth the differences in performance, I will have to look into that more. Being a laptop gamer for the past 8 years of my life, a temperature of 72 degrees does not scare me. I used to use my laptop as a heater during winter=))

If your primary use case is gaming, a 9070 or 9070 XT would be better.
There are some caveats though. If you're a big fan of RT, the 5070 may still win. Or, if you use professional applications that leverage GPU, Nvidia has better software support.

Tbh Idk if I am a fan of raytracing. Never tried it myself. I just want a gpu that can be both good for productivity and gaming. Lately, life has been pretty demanding and I mostly work, but the one sunday I have free, I want to game the hell out of it
9okm@reddit
So, IMO, ray tracing is... underwhelming... most of the time.
Look up whether the software you use has any preference to Nvidia or AMD.
9okm@reddit
Then NVIDIA is a safer bet.

Been there before! I had an acer nitro gaming laptop that melted on me. Check out a couple benchmark videos before committing to the 5070. The 9000 series gpus are pretty great even though they lack DLSS. The price points are pretty similar as well, maybe $100 difference but could depend on where you live.

Acer nitro 5🥹 damn man, mine is still going strong, idk for how long tho. Thanks for the link, I ll check ot out!

cheaper ram. 6000 is sweetspot for performance and compatibility. You can run 5600 or even 5200 with an x3d cpu and see much performance difference. If you are buying in the near future with the current inflated RAM cost, then just get what's cheap. If you are buying the future with adjusted ram pricing, then get what's good.
For cooler you can go a cheapo brand AIO if you want the aesthetics or any dual tower air cooler. Should be around 40$ max.

Thanks man. I will probably have the money in 7-8 months. Tbh I was thinking about 5600 or 6000, but when the time comes I ll get what s good at the time. I don t care much for aesthetics so probably an air cooler will do just fine. Thank you!
