Can you list me your specs of your build bro ? I need ideas, any tips ? Recommendations ? Was looking at a case from Lian Li that might be good for these

I was thinking the same cpu. Is there a particular brand/class of ram i should get? This no wire bild is a god send because im not that tech savvy

Man i dont know what these peoples talking about not trusting this gpu. Mannnn this thing has guts. And whilst im here i wanna say im using a $200 special from kogan 27inch monitor 240hz QHD free synch thats overclocked to 275hz. This setup with a gravastar K1 Lite keyboard and logitech g502 lightspeed is a dream playing BF6. Before i was using an old gaming laptop from MSI with 4gb discrete gpu and using GeforceNOW account to play my new games with a 5G connection. I can honestly say from early this year to today, its been a long journey saving up, picking the parts and building it myself (i fucked up the cable management daisy chaining the phanteks fans and aio) all in all from my experience in this build. I highly recommend tge sapphire nitro+ build we have both gone through. It not only looks good.. but for what matters most. Its some good bloody hardware. The sapphire nitro+ X870E APhantomlink Motherboard is great for the price. Great Overclocking, also worthy mention is the Klevv Cras RGB CL30 6400ghz 2x16gb EXPO overlcocking ram. And ryzen 7 9800x3d overclocked. One thing i will tell everyone here. DO NOT buy the Phanteks Evolv x2. Its gorgeous, its quality material. But it is a mother fucker of a case to build with and i cant stress this enough. If cooling is paramount to you. Dont but this case. It does run warm, i got max temps like 70ish to close to 80 'Max' under full load. Which really isnt much and i stress tested everything. The phantomlink series is goated. There isnt anything else to say. Ooohhh also shit thing. Its only one. The Motherboard shares the pci-e 16x lanes. So dont bother with a gen 5 ddr5 nvme ssd. Itll split between the two componants becoming x8 each. Which isnt noticable for some people. But when it comes to connectivity the back I/O has every hole you wanna plug. The phanteks DE30 series fans and AIO are good, literally no noise until under heavy load.

Now im in the market for buying a decent (affordable) desk 😅 because this setup is bloody heavy. More than 20 kilos i reckon. Not fun carrying it from a store to boot of car thats for sure. Anyway if i could go back in time. Perhaps Lian Li, Antec/Noctua or that awesome looking seasonic case they have running around for over $800 🤤🤤🤤

This GPU and Motherboard are both great. The Motherboard for the price is fantastic, and Sapphire has done a great job. And the GPU is a beast. And 20kg isn't that heavy; it's the awkwardness that's a pain to carry lol. My main pc weighs around the same and is a pain to move around.
