Hello, I've been making a few posts now recently. But, next week I plan on buying all my parts. I'm basically looking for more advice on this post. I've been watching alot of JTC and I have a few more things I wanna look up. But here my current build list.

Current Price in my notepad is $2,577.16 ( think its lower now though since im grabbing only one monitor and might be going with the cheaper M.2 from inland... but budget is $2,500ish )

PCPARTPICKER LIST

Going with a Microcenter bundle featuring a 7950x3d. The RAM is the only thing I wanna question I think. Should I go with the bundle featuring 32gb @ 6000mhz or choose the 48gb variant @5200mhz

I will 98% of the time just be playing games. Most of my 3D printing stuff is on my laptop due to bringing my laptop to my "Hobby Room" But in some videos I watched they were saying some games can take 20+ GB of ram... We some times stream our games to eachother / discord / some times watch movies on my other monitor.

32gb

48gb

CPU Cooler. Going with an Artic Freeze. JTC talked very highly of them and going with 420 because it did provide slightly better results.. and being so cheap might aswell.

M.2 storage. This one has been a back and forth for me. In my current build I have SSDs for storage so regardless of the M.2 I pick now its going to be better... I originally was trying to decide between gen5 or gen4 but some even say a gen3 is still very good and I really wont see a difference in any of these in gaming. I think I originally had a T500 picked out but I might switch to Inland just for the additional savings.

T500 - 2 TB $152.99 R/W - 7400/7000

Inland - 2 TB $139.99 R/W - 7000/6850

GPU - So I'm picking a 4080 Super. Honestly just trying to find the Cheapest one with 3 fans. So unless someone has some feedback on this.. when the day comes to buy it Ill just buy whatever or grab it same day I grab the bundle from Microcenter.

Case - Also kind of whatever. I have one selected that allows a 420mm radiator in the front. But, my current PC sits on the floor next to my desk so I don't care about aesthetics.

PSU - I am unsure about this also... I've read to not cheap out on this but I don't really know what is good and what is bad...I have this rosewill selected currently. As I type this though I remember hearing JTC talk something about an adapter though unless the PSU was a certain kind so I'll have to look into that yet also.

This isnt part of the build but Imma grab one of these 1440p monitors also. I have always used 1080p prior.

There will be a separate shareable link for PCPartpicker so we can see your build.

It'll be something like uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/sFJKwP

I planned on getting the 4080 super but now I think I'm leaning towards a 7900 xtx. I'm just slightly confused. A website I normally use for comparing says the 4080 super is better in almost every way but then when I watch videos of comparing the two xtx almost always comes out on top unless Raytracing is involved... They are both very similar prices but some xtx cards I could be saving an additional $100... Not sure what one to settle on
