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.

some gaming??
This pc is top.... and expensive
if you gaming in 4k, streaming or use for 3d, video edition or similar, is perfect...
If you want use a game simply, use office, programmer... you don't needs this.

Its only opinion..
I have a little less than half of that equipment and I do everything...

@zicoxy3 I know it's a bit of overkill for my current needs, but I want it to be future proof. My current workstation is from 2013 with just an upgraded GPU in 2019, I don't upgrade my PC often.

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... ;)

It looks good, but I would opt for NVMe disks as they are much faster.

@Salix The disk is NVMe. I wouldn't go for anything slower these days.

@jalefkowit Wow, that's a great tool! I didn't know about it.
I have a bunch of older HDDs, so I'll probably put one of them in as a secondary storage for long term data. I also have a NAS. My current workstation disk is 512 GB, so I'm fairly confident 2TB will be enough for me.

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.

@drizzy Sadly Alza doesn't offer Thermalright coolers. I'm planning to have it built by them, so that I can get a warranty for the whole build. And with discounts through Red Hat they have better prices than anyone else in CZ.

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

@drizzy yeah, Fractal cases are beautiful and would really pick one of those if the case was on some visible place, but my PC is hidden under the desk. It doesn't matter how the case looks. I settled on be quiet! in the end.

oh, its not about design or looks in my case. My case sits in a corner under a desk. I don't even like window on the side since it messes with sound dampening. R6 is sort of a boring box, but well designed and practical. Which is more important if you fiddle with it, less if you get someone to set it up once.

@slamp @jalefkowit Yeah, it went up like 50% in the last 2 weeks. I heard disks will follow. That's why I decided to speed it up.

I would use additional smaller m.2 disk for system.

@mirek why? To have / and /home on two separate disks for future flexibility?

@mirek Replace the system drive and you can do a safe full reinstall of the OS while keeping your own data accessible. Which gives you a quick rollback possibility if there are issues.

in reply to Jiří Eischmann 2 months ago

Because it is faster than a normal SSD, but... WD_BLACK SN7100 is already M.2, so ignore my suggestion. And, oh my boy. 2TB of M2 disk is only 3379 CZK? That is fucking cheap.

in reply to Miroslav Suchý

in reply to Miroslav Suchý 2 months ago

@mirek I've changed it for a PCI 5.0 version in the end. It's extra 1500 CZK, but speeds are twice higher. There really isn't anything faster than that, so if you suggested a smaller separate disk for the OS because of the speed, it won't be necessary.

So what made you choose that graphics card? Not saying its bad, just curious what caused you to pick that one.

in reply to skryking

in reply to skryking 2 months ago

@skryking I use Linux, so I wanted an AMD card because in my experience AMD cards have better compatibility with Linux than Nvidia ones. I also considered 9700, but it would be extra $400, so I decided to go with 9600 which should be more than enough for my gaming (my current card is RX 570) and I may upgrade the GPU in the future if needed.

@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.

Looks good to me, I'd just probably use a Gigabyte or Asus board with x870 chipset and Seasonic PSU, but that's just my long term preference. Looks like a good build to last many years.

@kayla thanks for the suggestions. I'm actually considering a X870E motherboare now. Not only does it have fewer shared links, but also considerably lower temperatures. And it isn't a lot of extra budget.

I just stumbled upon the announcement of Steam Machine and recalled your post here — store.steampowered.com/sale/st… Could be a nice, small and already tuned package.

Mimochodem neměl bys využití pro ten starý stolní počítač (čtyřjádrový Xeon, Raden RX 570, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SATA2 disk, QHD monitor)? Pořád to je perfektně fungující a výkonnostně víc než dostačující počítač. Doteď na něm pracuju a hraju. Rád bych ho daroval. Při nejhorším ho odvezu do té sbírky Mironetu, ale raději bych ho daroval adresněji.

Nápad bohu6el úplně nemám. Kdybych byl poblíž, tak bych si ho třeba vzal, ale na posílání do Prahy už je to dost velké. Mironet: nemám zkušenost, podle webu vypadá, že to mají zmáknuté — tedy až na Windows (to už je snad nějaká porucha, že Mironet, s jejich děsivou historií s BSA, instaluje sw of Microsoftu). Nebo se poptat v okolí, kamarádi kamarádů, co potřebují stroj pro děti trochu na práci a trochu na hraní, nebo tak něco si představuju...
