Top Tier Gaming/Streaming Build

[sjssoa1]

Hello,

Need help with 3 things:
1. Spec, can go up to £4000 if needed. I'm looking for the ultimate build for gaming/recording gaming/streaming/video editing. This will all around gaming content. Sticking with RTX 3090 due to better stock levels than the 3080.
2. Monitor suggestions, I've done some research but would appreciate feedback from here for this build specifically. In terms of budget around £1000 per monitor (looking for x2).
3. Keyboard and mouse suggestions, similar to monitor done some research but interested in opinions for gaming builds if you've got suggestions.

Quite a few things I'd change here, I'll list them below so others can have a take on it

1) If you're going to be streaming, editing etc I'd recommend going up to 32GB RAM here. 2x16 sticks would be ideal
2) If possible, I'd change the 2TB HDD to a 2TB SSD, HDD's are very slow these days compared to modern storage devices
3) Maybe boost the PSU to 1000W, especially if you're going for a 3090. Will also give you room for upgrading in the future if needed
4) A stock CPU cooler for a 5900X is a very bad idea, go for maybe the H150i or the H115i

If you already have a Windows key then you could knock £100 off your build, but not sure on your scenario

What a beast of a build! And it looks like a great first attempt. There's just a few things I'd change.

For the case, I've swapped it for the lovely 5000D Airflow, it's a monster of a case that has the potential for some fantastic airflow. For the CPU you have you'll be wanting the STRIX board for it's higher end VRM's that'll help manage the 5900X. For gaming and streaming, you'll want 32GB of RAM. The storage is perfectly good as it is, although for the 'top tier' gaming build, you might want more than 1TB of SSD storage for games, the Corsair drive is a great choice. For a 3090 and 5900X I'd advise on a 1000W PSU. For CPU cooling, the 5900X can be a toasty chip so you'll want a top end cooler, the H150i is a beast and will do that well. Once the order has gone through, I'd recommend calling PCS up and asking to install 3 LL fans in the front (or top depending where they put the AIO) which will look very nice and add extra cooling for the beast inside. I can't do this on the configurator due to the stock fans that are in the case as standard.

Monitors wise, I'm not too sure where to start, for 1.2K there's the Samsung G9 which is an incredible 49 inch 5120x 1440p (effectively 2 1440p's stuck together) 240hz dream, although it's super wise aspect ratio might not be the best for a stream view. You could then take the rest of the budget and spend it on two nice 1440p monitors to go above for all the other apps you need open for streaming. For standard size 4K 144hz (what you'd be looking at with a 3090) I can't name any off the top of my head as they aren't all that common yet. I know ASUS has had a few but tracking them down could be difficult. It would be interesting to hear what monitors you found of interest in your research.

For peripherals, I currently own a pretty much Razer setup and love it, I know Logitech are currently doing some great products. For headests, I believe the Steel series are pretty up there with high end headsets.
