Hey everyone, I'm putting together a new gaming PC build and I've got my parts list all set. Before I hit the buy button, I'd love to get your thoughts on whether everything is compatible and if I might be overpaying for any of these components. Here's what I'm planning to use:
- **GPU:** MSI GeForce RTX 5080 Ventus 3X OC White
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
- **Motherboard:** NZXT N9 X870E White (AM5, ATX)
- **RAM:** Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 CL30 (32 GB, 2x16) – White
- **SSD:** Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB (PCIe 4.0)
- **PSU:** Seasonic Focus GX-850 V4 White (ATX 3.1, 12V-2x6)
- **Case:** Lian Li O11 Vision Compact (White)
- **AIO:** Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 A-RGB – White
- **Fans:** Lian Li UNI FAN SL140 V2 (2-pack + 1 single)
- **Cable:** CableMod ModFlex 12V-2x6 90° White
The total price for this build is about **3,360 €** (in Germany, November 2025). What do you think? Any suggestions for better parts or compatibility issues I should be aware of?

Your build is solid, but I have a couple of suggestions. If you're mainly gaming, you might want to opt for the AMD 9800X3D instead of the 9950X3D. It's a solid performer and saves you some cash. Also, I recommend considering a bigger PSU; with the kind of setup you're going for, you want to have more headroom in case you upgrade later. Lastly, check that the PSU cable you picked is reliable. Definitely don’t want any fire hazards!
Yeah, I was thinking the same! If you just want it for gaming, the 9800X3D is where it's at. I don't think the 5090 is worth it unless you have a huge budget.
