I received an incredible gift from my wife for Father's Day—a powerful MSI RTX 5090 Suprim Liquid GPU! I'm planning to build a new PC around it, and I'm just a bit overwhelmed by all the components. We have a tradition of opening gifts on Christmas Eve, and I was totally shocked by what I got. Here's the full list of parts:
- Corsair Air 5400 LX-R ICUE case (I've wanted this case for ages!)
- ASRock x870e Taichi motherboard
- Corsair Vengeance DDR5 64GB (4x16)
- AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- Corsair ICUE Link Titan 360 RX LCD AIO cooler
I'll also be using my 1200W power supply and NVMe hard drives from my old setup. I'm not completely up to date with hardware, so I'm looking for advice on compatibility and any potential issues. Thanks for your help!

You’ve got an incredible setup going on! Just a heads-up: using four sticks of RAM can sometimes cause issues on AM5 motherboards. It's not always guaranteed to work smoothly. I’d recommend checking forums or the motherboard's manual for any specific compatibility concerns. If you run into problems, you might want to exchange for two sticks instead, but I get how pricey RAM can be these days!
That case is awesome! Make sure to check cooling in your build since the hardware you have is pretty powerful. The AIO cooler should help a lot, but good airflow in the case is key. Keep an eye on temperatures during your first few gaming sessions.
Yeah, I hear you on the RAM prices! It might be worth trying it out with all four sticks first, just to see how it runs.
