looks good but you can get a windows 11 pro key off the internet for 40.00 or less

(helpful downloads)

thanks for that info.

You'll probably get better cooling from a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE or Phantom Spirit 120 SE than that cheap CM ML240L, I had the V1 of that cooler years ago when there was only one version and it was struggling to do much better than the Wraith Prism on a 2700X.

The two air coolers I mentioned from Thermalright are just about on the level of an NH-D15.

And as Guydodge said, you don't need to buy Windows 11 at retail, you can spend far less for just the license later and make your own install media USB drive for free. But even using Win11, you don't need a license for, all the license actually does is unlock customization of the desktop environment and remove the activation watermark.

If you get cheaper PSU (850 is enough for 7800x3D+4090),cheaper motherboard, cheaper air cooling and a bit less storage you can afford 4090.
Or safe up to $500 for future upgrades.
That’s in my humble opinion.

I wouldn't put a 4090 on an 850W without undervolting, some models even recommend a 1200W unit. A complete system with a 7800X3D and 4090 can easily use over 850W.

A lot of that comes from Amazon, which is saying a lot of its Black Friday sales are happening now. I would still look out for even more discounts on the actual day this Friday. Unless you don't want to gamble.

By the way, the Samsung 980 Pros are the same price 130 USD on Amazon today. You have a different vendor on your list in OP. Will it be the same tomorrow?--who knows.

I had to get new speakers recently and prices do fluctuate on Amazon a lot. Ended up getting the speakers but they were 10 USD more than when first spotted. Now they're 5 USD less.

Edit: @anyone who shops Amazon. If there is a pick-up locker near you, you might get free Prime shipping to that locker. It may not be convenient for some but you won't get porch pirates stealing from you and sometimes your stuff ships and arrives the next day. If it's too big for the locker, see if there's a Whole Foods or other place with a big storage area for your purchase to come there.

The 7800x3D+4090 system consumes about 620W. While 850W should be enough, Corsair offers a 1000W PSU for about $150, which is probably a safer pick.

My 16-core 3950x + 7900XTX setup draws about 500W, and my 850W PSU is handling it just fine. 1000W is an overkill in my opinion but at the price - why not.

Companies always exaggerate and assume that some people are running 14900 with water pump+16 fans+5HDD.

Good board & cpu. Uttern noncsense cooler. Your ram unknown to me, I's pick gskill instead or kingston fury. The storage looks really odd with that 1T sata. (I'd have none or a 4T). In my, pretty similar build I used a 990 pro for speed and a 970 evo for bulk.

Not familiar with your case, it is comes fanless for that price probably you could pick something better. I went with nzxt h7 flow, also considering pop air XL and lancool 216.

A 4080 gpu costs 1500? Wow.

For the psu I'd go with gx or gm instead.

The overall impression is "burn as much money" rather than selecting best bang/buck, but you didn't provide any clue to tell what bang is needed, so can't comment on that.

He must have put the wrong one in the cart. You can get it from Amazon for $1200.

If your on a budget, or heck if you don't want an optimus waterblock that only works on a strix / tuf gpu don't buy an asus gpu, your paying wayyyy too much extra for it.

You can get the top end zotac amp extreme 4090 for 1600 bucks and will destroy an 4080 and happily match a strix 4090 while being far cheaper.

I agree with swapping the cooler, the thermalright peerless assassin is much cheaper (it's around 35 bucks!) and should work fine.

A 1000w titanium psu is ridiculous, go for a gold and save 150 bucks, there is no need for a titanium rated psu at all.

PCPartpicker's wattage calculation puts a complete system with 7800X3D and a lot of 4090s over 850W peak usage. It's literally better to spend a little bit more on a 1000W Gold than stupidly go for 850W to save a quick buck. Their PSU choice is expensive because it's titanium rated.

7900XTX draws less power, 4090 can have power spikes as high as 600W.

There's also little chance his 3950x is near fast enough for the 7900xtx to be near a full / heavy usage.

It’s plenty fast at 4K. My XTX draws 380W at 100% utilisation. It’s not strong enough to cpu bottleneck at higher resolutions. For Ray Tracing I need to drop to 1440p for stable 60fps.

Wait a minute !? You re getting RTX 4080 at the price of RTX 4090 ? ! Why ? For this money get 4090 .

You can’t get 4090 below $2000 in US currently. Shortage.

I would test with a free version of 10 and 11 before you actually buy a key. I recently tried 11 and it was real laggy for some reason so I went back to 10. I might have been doing something wrong, who knows but I didn't like it. I guess if I have to I'll move to it, but while 10 is around I'm sticking with it for now.
