Hey everyone! I'm diving into the world of PC building for the first time since I've always relied on pre-built systems, and I'm super excited about crafting the ultimate gaming rig. Here's my part list, and I'm just trying to confirm if everything will fit into my case and work together.
**Core Components:**
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (16-Core, 32-Thread, 4.3GHz base / 5.7GHz boost)
- **CPU Cooler:** ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 AIO (top-mounted)
- **Motherboard:** MSI MAG X870 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX (AM5, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4)
- **GPU:** ASUS TUF GAMING GeForce RTX 5090 32GB
- **RAM:** Corsair Vengeance 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
- **Storage:** Corsair MP700 PRO 2TB PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 SSD
- **Power Supply:** NZXT C1500W 80+ Platinum Fully Modular ATX
- **Case:** Lian Li O11 Dynamic EVO XL ATX Full Tower (Black or White, depending on model chosen)
- **Operating System:** Windows 11 Pro OEM 64-bit (DVD Version)
**Cooling and Airflow:**
- **Case Fans:** 6x Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap (high-performance 120mm fans)
- **Fan Controller:** ARCTIC Case Fan Hub (PWM splitter/controller)
**Planned Placement:**
- 3 fans on the side (intake)
- 3 fans on the bottom (intake)
- 1 fan on the rear (exhaust) (might double as AIO exhaust depending on my setup)
- 3 fans from the AIO radiator on top (exhaust)
That gives me a total of 10 fans—should be top-notch for airflow!
**Support & Accessories:**
- **Anti-Sag Bracket:** Lian Li GB-002 (or similar for RTX 5090)
- **Fan Hub / Splitters:** ARCTIC Fan Hub for managing multiple 4-pin PWM fans
Thanks for any feedback!

All those parts are compatible with each other, but honestly, it's quite an overkill for gaming! You might want to think about whether you actually need all that power or if you could go with a less costly build. Definitely maximize performance without breaking the bank!
Everything seems fine. The O11 EVO XL is a big case, so fitting should be a breeze. Just take your time while building—maybe plan for a full day to get it all set up right. Enjoy the process!
I’m really looking forward to it! I might get East Coast Computers to help out for the build, though.
You can use tools like pcpartpicker.com to check compatibility too. Your Ryzen 9 9950X3D is great, but it's pretty pricey for just gaming. If it’s primarily for playing games, you might be fine sticking with a Ryzen 7 or even a 9800X3D. Also, for your graphics card, an RTX 5080 could be sufficient and less expensive.
Yeah, I already bought everything, just wanted to make sure it would fit together. I'm hyped about it being a beast!
Haha, I get it! But I’m really aiming for max settings and top FPS—so I'm all in for the best! Thanks for the insight.
