I am building a Desktop system after a long while. Here are the components I have selected so far.

GPU: GeForce RTX 5070 FE

PSU: 1000W from “Tier A PSU list”. Corsair HX1000i ATX 3.1 Platinum 1000 - 20k

RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 Royal 32GB (16GBx2) 7600MHz CL36 DDR5 - 23k.

Mobo: GIGABYTE X870 Gaming WIFI6 DDR5 AMD Motherboard - 22k

Processor: Ryzen 7 9800X3D - 47k

NVMe: 2 TB fast and reliable one - Samsung 990 Pro? - 20k

Cabinet: Recommendations welcome!

Do you recommend any changes? Any recommendations for better (more reliable) parts would be great!

  1. PSU is way overpowered. No need for this much. Check requirements of 5070

  2. There is CPU gpu mismatch. You can get away with cheaper cpu and faster gpu and have better overall system

  3. For AMD, ideal ram i think is 6000 or 6400 C30. Dont know about current prices but it used to be around 9k-10k when i bought. All of this saved money can go to better gpu like 9070xt or 5070ti.

Better wait for more balanced specs from people familiar with current market.

Thank you!

Yep - the config is currently unbalanced. Also, this system will be connected only to a FHD gaming monitor (for shooter esports + DOTA types). So everything is probably overkill in this config.

We already have this GPU though. Emulation-of-games might also be a requirement, so that current-generation fast CPU might help there a bit.

850W seems OK for this config. For future-proofing a bit, I went with a 1000W PSU.

Edit: The most demanding app for this PC would be ‘STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl’ for now.

PSU>super-flower-leadex-vii-platinum-pro-1000w
RAM> IG 6000Mhz @CL30 would be better, I feel
mobo>Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite WiFi7 AM5 ATX Motherboard or anything similar.Avoid Asrock for now(X870).
Use the rest towards the GPU.
