New build
Planning to buy a new PS, since another my discussion about new UPS derailed to the new PC discussion, I opened a new discussion focused on the PC itself.
So, after been blamed about my decision about a prebuilt Alienware PC/Intel, I tried something different.
This is a config that I found on pc specialist and I would like to know feedbacks... Thanks in advance.

Im considering even the same configuration with RTX 4090, but Im not sure because you need a 1000W PSU vs the above 850W (+power consumption, +heat...) and of course because +800€...


Thanks in advance.

9950X comes out literally this week and would be overall faster and with similar gaming performance

You dont need a 1200w psu and a 7950x for gaming. You literally are throwing away hundreds. The 7800x3d is a faster gaming cpu. If it were not i could of bought the same setup.

I realized the 1000w rmx shift and 7800x3d is the best option. Theres never going to be a gpu that needs over 1000w. 1200w power supplys are for them old sli builds. Overall its a lot better than before you tended to gravitate to Corsair.


Next time you should build it yourself. Corsair have the system builder website and i used it to see if the Corsair case AIO ram all fit with the chosen motherboard. And they have videos of the installs for the AIO its really hard to mess it up to be honest.

They got delayed to mid-august; so at least 2 more weeks.

Looks good but there is no need to get the 2x SSDs like that. Just get a 2TB or 4TB P44 (if you want PCIe Gen4) or the Crucial T705 for PCIe Gen5. I would go with the 4TB T705

Get the 1000W RMx version of that PSU instead of the 1200W; it will still be plenty of power for potential future upgrades.

Get the H115i cooler instead of the H100i.

I'd also concur that unless you really plan on doing a lot of 3D rendering/modeling and/or lots of video encoding I'd save the money on the 7950X3D and get the 7800X3D and put that savings toward the 4TB PCIe Gen5 T705 SSD.

Thanks but mh unfortunatelly, H115i white is not available in that site, and the case cant mount a H150i... Suggesting to change the case? Meh 5000 is so huge (for me)...

About 7800 vs 7950, Im a gamer alot (maybe too much....) and casual 3d modelling & rendering... What is the difference (performance)?

sounds fancy.

when I did my "all out build" years ago after looking into RAM I determined that I didn't need to spend more on fancy brands with coolers since OCing ram is mostly pointless and went with Gskill... but half the fun is looking at it, init?

Not the 150i the 115i. Ohhhh... nvm I see what you mean. They only offer the H100i and the H150i in the white version and the smaller 4000X won't fit the H150i.

The 7800X3D will still be fine for modeling and rendering. Yeah the difference would be performance for those use cases but honestly for something you do at a hobbyist level / casually, it will still be plenty performant enough.

So yeah if you don't want to jump up to the 5000D then just do the 4000X with the H100i and the 7800X3D, drop to the 1000W RMx, and get the 4TB T705.

Also if you need to trim a bit more on the budget you'd also be perfectly fine dropping the Strix X670E for the Prime X670-P. I'd actually probably lean that way anyway. The X670E "chipset" is actually just two of the X670 chipset. You really don't need that much IO for your build.

EDIT: Also make sure you select the "Braided Power Supply Cables" and choose one of the corsair options that has the "(40 series)" in the listing as those come with the 12VHPWR+ cable for the 40 series GPUs so you don't need to use a multi-PCIe 8pin to 12VHPWR+ adapter.

I missed the h100i aio having that and a 1200w is so weird. Move up to the 5000 series and get the h115i and 7800x3d and the crucial t705 ssd.


You can put the h115i on the 4000d its likely they do not offer it ad they want the easy peasy route. The corsair builder said it fits and i opted for that combo for the 7800x3d. H100i might limit any future upgrades. Remember this platform is upgradeable in 2027. So taking a 5000D case maybe could be wise.
