I'm building a new PC (for work, productivity and some gaming) and this is my current configuration:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
- CPU cooler: Be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5
- Motherboard: MSI MAG B850 TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI
- GPU: SAPPHIRE NITRO+ AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT GAMING OC 16G
- Memory: Kingston FURY 64GB KIT DDR5 6000MHz CL36 Beast EXPO
- SSD: WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB
- Case: Be quiet! PURE BASE 501 Airflow Window Black
- Power supply: Be quiet! PURE POWER 13 M 750W

Opinions? I haven't built a PC in the last 10 years, so I would appreciate advice from more experienced PC builders.

Computers are changing much faster than before.
Many programmes are now used in the cloud, including games. In the immediate future, even more so.

These days, I prefer to spend a little less and perhaps upgrade more often or pay to use cloud services. I think the GForce Now model is going to be a success.

But for the record, I want a computer like yours... If you buy it... enjoy it... ;)

I've been planning a very similar upgrade with some minor differences:
* After some consideration went for 1000 W PSU (I went with Corsair hx1000i after reading hwbusters.com/psus/corsair-hx1… - surprisingly I get sensor reading from it through internal USB header)
* Have a look at Thermalright coolers. They seem to provide crazy good bang-for-buck can be very quiet
* Seems only 1 of 4 m2 slots shares bandwidth with pcie connectors. That's good.
* SN7100 is pcie4 so slower than MB supports.

Reading though power requirements of your components though I see 1000W would be overkill in your case (unless you end up upgrading GPU in a few years to some higher model with bigger draw)

One last note -I'm a fan of Fractal Design. Planning to reuse my current R6 when I finalize the build because I like that case due to sound dampening features. Not sure it's worth it for you though

Looks OK to me at a glance. You might want more than 2TB of storage, depending on what you're doing with it. But I don't see anything in the list that makes me go "ewwww" 😆

The website PCPartPicker has a useful feature where you can load in all the components you're looking at, and it will tell you if there are any obvious incompatibilities (more power draw than the PSU can handle, some component that needs a connector the motherboard doesn't have, etc etc etc). I took a crack at loading your build in it, and it didn't flag anything major.

@jalefkowit that's a good looking build! Good bit of performance headroom in there.

(1/3) I might pick a Corsair HXi power supply (in that same wattage range) for the temperature and per-rail power consumption numbers it can make available to the host machine via USB for monitoring;

(2/3) to echo what someone else in your replies mentioned, the X870E chipset might be worth a look;

(3/3) Personally I'd pick the SN8100 WD Black SSD for its (much) higher performance.
