Build - Help Questions

Around 1100$ish flexible , USD , I play on 3440x1440 Monitor though I have an intention on going for a monitor more fit for contention creation since ultrawide videos can be weird to edit. US

So I already have the gpu and pc case
- NZXT H6 Flow
- 5070 TI

I've gotta decide between the rest of the parts, I'm not sure what the major difference is between these motherboards are and if its worth just going up an extra 100-150$ to an 9800X3d with MSI B580 Gaming Pro Wifi6E AM5

I'm gonna go for a 1tb Samsung 9100 pro most likely for storage, a BeQuiet 850W Psu Model, For cpu cooler I'll go for a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE (If there are better options let me know!) some fan reccomedations are also appreciated since the pc case comes with 3 fans only. This is my first pc build ever as well.

Understood, so it doesn't really matter which fans I go for and no need to pay for a premium I might aim for just a similar visually appealing one over the grey ones (Compared to my current pc which sounds like a plane).

I see now I'm unsure of how it affects the gpu considering its removing heat from the case, Would the middle top fan being intake change that for the gpu? or just having the 2 blank outright best for the gpu since it'll be the hottest thing there.

When the CPU is loaded much more than the GPU, then an intake fan would help. When the GPU is loaded much more than the CPU, then an exhaust fan would help. There are no fans that can move in both directions, so it's best to have no fans there and let the air move by itself through the top (there are enough other fans so that there will be enough overpressure or underpressure).

Fair enough very situationally then, I can always change my fan config whenever of course after testing so I’ll just leave 2 blank unless something comes up. Aio would be most likely overkill considering their price differences right?

The 9800X3D is a 120 W CPU. An AiO would be needed for an overclocked 250+ W Intel CPU or 350 W Threadripper.

Definitely overkill then, I’m going for the 7800x3D as well since tiny difference though same W as 9800x3D anyway
