Hi, happy new year, all.
Well as the title says I'm a console gamer looking to move on as i want to start streaming and also do some light content creating as a hobby, so basically looking at putting together my first PC since 2004 (pre built Compaq from PC World) which will hopefully be a solid 1440p build.
I read some articles and also saw a few videos which suggested the motherboard i've chosen would be a good choice but may need a BIOS update? Though these were a few months old so i'm assuming i likely won't need to do that as the MOBO should now be ready for the 7800X3D now? Also in terms of RAM i've also read a few times that the X3D won't really need 6000mhz+ as it pretty much does the heavy lifting. is that right? The main issue i'm wondering about is in regards to power and cooling, which i'm absolutely clueless about. I know the Fractal North case i've chosen comes with 2-3 fans depending on components I add but was wondering if i'd need much more as I've also heard that the X3D stays quite cool and will possibly only need air fans rather than liquid cooling? I've added the '3 x Corsair AF120 RGB ELITE PWM Fan + Controller Kit' though i'm wondering if that would be overkill.
I'd really appreciate help and further advice with my build decisions so far as well as any help with the power/cooling issue. I'll attach a couple of screenshots of the build.
Oh, in regards to Nvidia GPU's do you think it would be a good idea to wait until the release of the 'Super' line for 40 series cards? I'd like to think the 4070/4070 Ti come down at least £100 once the release date is confirmed - or wishful thinking?
Thanks very much.
