Hey everyone, after doing some very basic research in the last couple of days this is the parts list I've come up with,

I have several questions about this build,

1. Since I'm going matx pc, is the PSU okay for this? Its 750w which I think should be good enough for this build and note that I'd be running the 9800x3D mostly in Eco mode (65w). Plus I'm a bit confused about the 12whpwr stuff and compatibility with PSUs.

2. The GPU is just a placeholder for now, but will it fit in the case?

3. From what ive seen online the ideal layout of fans for this case is one at the side for CPU and one for exhaust at the back. Will this be enough to cool the GPU as well? Or should I move one fan down for GPU?

4. Motherboard and vrms, is the mobo I picked fine? RAM is also quite confusing.

5. Monitor ive just picked one randomly, any suggestions or alternatives greatly appreciated.

I'm going to be selling my old gtx 1080/r5 3600 pc soon so I am going to be upgrading from that just for context. The GPU is kind of a placeholder for a potential 4070 super, 4070ti super or a 5070 based on prices/if I can find a good deal used.

My main use case is CPU heavy sim games (hence the 9800x3d). I'm fine with lower GPU power.

Also I'm based in Hyderabad, if anyone know any good places to get these parts do let me know.

Thanks.

Watch Gamers Nexus review of the cabinet.

1. You selected a SFX-L PSU, so should be fine & will help with space management. It already has the 16 pin new connector based on the description.

2. Compare case clearances & GPU dimensions. It will fit easily.

3. You can put a fan below if needed. Noctuas are overkill, can save money. Arctic P12s were great choice at 500 but sadly rare now.

4. Hardware Unboxed has a VRM testing video, check that

5. Acer XV272U V3 - no need to consider anything else. IMO you need an OLED panel or a very good mini LED one to see an appreciable jump in panel quality (both are expensive with low options).

What is your usage?
If it is just gaming, can buy Sapphire Pulse 7800XT for ~46k & enjoy gaming till prices normalise. There's a GPU supply issue at the top end. Highly likely the issue will continue with 5070Ti or 9070XT.

Thanks for the quick reply!

1. Great to know the PSU will be fine. I'm just trying to get as lightweight as reasonably possible with the pc since I'll need to move it around a bunch.

3. I see a bunch of arctic p12's for around 800 but these seem to be pressure optimized. Is there a big difference between pressure and airflow fans and should I worry about those? If you have a link to the ones I should buy it'd be highly appreciated.

5. Its the 17k one on Amazon right? Will take a look at it thanks.

Additionally do you have any input on RAM? I picked a random kit, dont know if its optimal or not.

As for the GPU I'd like to stick with nvidia for now even if its at a slight premium.
 
1. If you see yourself spending 1L or more on a GPU, spend on 850W PSU

3. https://www.amazon.in/ARCTIC-ACFAN00137A-Value-Pack-Pressure-Optimized/dp/B07HC782D5
I bought 2 of these fans for 500-600 each few years back. So 800 is still decent. I never looked into the difference as I use a ATX cabinet (Lancool II Mesh), so doesn't matter much.

5. Yes, it goes under 16k on sale with CC discounts. But even at 17-18k, hard to beat its value. I saw no panel difference between that monitor (bought by a friend) & my Asus TUF 27" 1440p 170Hz which I purchased for 30k+ 2.5 years back.

Adata is a good brand. You selected 6000MHz CL30, so good.

Nvidia's premium isn't slight. Considering new gen is disappointing & Nvidia opted to constraint the supply (in favour of making more GPUs for AI servers), we have a GPU shortage. 4070 Super was 53-54k easily few months back. Now models from good brands like Asus, MSI, Gigabyte or Zotac start above 60k.

4070 Super is good but has 12GB VRAM as its biggest issue. 4070Ti Super or 7900XT are both bad value considering they are barely 20% faster than their 55k counterparts (4070S or 7900GRE). 5070 will continue with 12GB VRAM. 5080 needed more VRAM over 1L considering RT stuff (also more performance, not just a 10% uplift over 4080S it replaces).

Anyways, your call. I already warned you on the impending GPU supply issue. Right now, all Nvidia GPUs except 3060 12GB is a waste of money IMO (just a pricing issue). AMD won't miss a chance to miss a chance.

I HATE 300+w GPUs. More efficient the better for me, so I dont see myself buying a high wattage GPU anytime soon. But I'll take a look if there are good 850w sfx PSUs at a similar price range.

As for the nvidia premium, I'm trying to score a 4070s around 50k or a ti super around 70k, fingers crossed. I understand the value of the ti super being poor though, but I can't afford to be very picky rn. A 3060 wouldn't be enough for me.

I do care about dlss and nvidia has been good with backwards compatibility so far which cant be said for AMD. Newer games run so poorly that upscaling is pretty much needed right now and nvidia has the best upscaler so it doesnt make sense for me to go AMD.
