It's a decent build, but I'm curious why you opted for the Ryzen 9 7900X? Unless you're diving into heavy CPU tasks, the 7800X3D could suffice; just a thought!
Fair enough! Just ensure that the motherboard fits your future needs, as you might save some cash going with a B-series board.
That build looks solid, especially for gaming and video editing! The Ryzen 9 should definitely handle everything you throw at it. Just be cautious with the balance between the CPU and GPU to avoid any bottlenecks. But overall, good choice!
Good choices overall but consider that cooler. You're spending quite a bit on that AIO. A good air cooler could save some cash. And about the PSU, check reviews; there are some better options for that price!
Thanks for the tip! I'll look into some air cooler options.
Glad to help! Keep an eye on reviews; a reliable power supply is key.
I went for the 7900X because it was priced lower than the 7800X3D, and I wanted the extra performance for games and some editing.
