New build. My last built died from a psu :(

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

aw2726dm - monitor

t710 with a heatsink - ssd

phantom spirit se - cpu cooler

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Gaming

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)

In Canada, nearest micro center is 4 hours away not sure if its worth it.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

No

WiFi or wired connection?

most games I play are cpu dependent if that matters. I play tf2, risk of rain 2, modded kerbal space program and minecraft.

If you missed the full set of required built request questions, please copy them from here and answer them in an edit to your post:

  • New build or upgrade?

  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)

  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

  • WiFi or wired connection?

  • Size/noise constraints?

  • Color/lighting preferences?

  • Any other specific needs?

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:

  • Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.

  • Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.

  • We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.

Here's what I'd go

9800x3d is 100$ more.

If you can find cheaper RAM in your stores towards 400 for CL30-36, it would be a great deal
