Asked By TechWhizKid42 On

Hey everyone, I'm really excited but also a bit overwhelmed because I'm building my first PC! I may have jumped the gun by buying a bunch of parts before asking for advice. Here's the list of components I purchased: 1. An old ATX case I had, 2. Asus Prime Z-790-A WIFI motherboard, 3. WD Black SN8100 PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 drives (1TB and 2TB), 4. Crucial Pro Series 128GB DDR5 RAM, 5. Be Quiet 1000W Power Supply, 6. Intel Core i9-13900K LGA 1700 CPU, and 7. Noctua NH-U9S CPU cooler. I did some research before buying, but I'm second-guessing my selections now and just want to know if I made good choices or if there might be any compatibility issues. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Try using PCPartPicker to verify your build. Just input your components there, and it will alert you to any compatibility issues. It's super helpful!

And it usually has suggestions for updates or optional parts that might improve your build.

Everything looks like it should work. Just a heads-up though: you might want a more robust cooler than the Noctua NH-U9S for your CPU, especially under heavy loads. Consider a 360mm AIO if your case can fit it. The 13900K can heat up quite a bit!

Yeah, the performance is great, but cooling is essential to avoid thermal throttling.

I’m not sold on Intel; I would check how much you really need the 128GB of RAM too. It might be too much unless you're doing something very demanding. Think about your actual usage needs!

What are your main purposes for the computer? That can really influence whether you've made the right choices. Also, what's the model of your case and could you share what RAM you picked? I’ve heard the coolers being mentioned might not be enough for the i9-13900K, especially if you're doing heavy tasks. A bigger cooler would probably be better.

You did a solid job overall! The RAM might be overkill depending on what tasks you plan on doing, but the parts you've chosen are definitely future-proof for several years. However, make sure you have enough budget left for a high-quality GPU, since your build will need it!

Yeah, a powerful GPU is crucial for maximizing your performance, especially if you’re gaming or doing graphics work.
