Thoughts on this Ryzen 7 9850X3D / RTX 5080 build?
Hey guys! I’m looking into building a new gaming PC and wanted to sanity check the parts before committing.
This is going to be my first high-tier PC, or honestly my first high-tier tech product in general, and it means a lot to me that I get it right for my childhood self. I’ve spent a couple of days putting this build together. I’ll be coming from a second hand Lenovo LOQ RTX 4060 laptop, just to put the upgrade in perspective. (I believe that is mid tier)
It’ll mainly be for gaming, but I’ll also use it for casual browsing, YouTube/streaming, and my software developer work.
I’ll be using it with either an AOC 1440p 180Hz mini-LED monitor or a TCL mini-LED 4K 144Hz TV, depending on what I’m doing.
Parts:
CPU: Ryzen 7 9850X3D
GPU: RTX 5080 16GB
Motherboard: MSI X870 Gaming Plus WiFi
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
Cooler: DeepCool LQ360 360mm AIO
Case: Corsair 3500X LX-R RGB
PSU: Antec NE1000G M 1000W Gold
SSD: KLEVV CRAS C930 1TB NVMe
Price is around R63,000 South African Rand, or roughly $3,400 USD.
Does this look like a balanced build for the price? Is it actually a high-tier build? Anything you’d change?
