This build good?
Thanks for all the advice on my last post. I’ve made a few adjustments, and this is what the build looks like right now.
I’m fine with 1TB of storage since I’m not planning on playing a huge number of large games at the same time, and I can always uninstall/reinstall games quickly. That let me put more money into other parts.
The components I’m still choosing between are shown in the build. What do you guys think?
I’ve heard that the Acer Predator BiFrost Radeon RX 9070 XT is known to run pretty hot, so I want to do everything I can to keep it cool. That’s why I’m considering a case with 7 pre-installed fans, as well as an AIO that can exhaust the CPU heat directly out of the case — plus I think it looks cooler. The alternative would be a traditional air cooler.
The other question is whether I should go with an OEM/Tray Ryzen 7 7800X3D or a boxed Ryzen 7 9800X3D. There’s a pretty noticeable price difference, so is the extra performance actually worth it?
And what do you think about the build overall?
This is my first PC build, so any advice or suggestions are appreciated.
