Noticed the MSI mobo being recommended more, is it the superior board? Saw on YT that the asus mobo has lower temps and decided to stick with it. Unless there's something I'm missing.
not really, but it does pack most of what most users want for $20 less at dynacore. the msi board does have a weaker vrm (which should still be enough for a 7/9950x), but also has a secondary nvme heatsink (which the tuf board lacks), wifi 6e (6 non e on the tuf) and is fully usb3 on the rear io (half of the tuf boards rear usb are of the 2.0 spec). the tuf board offers pcie gen5 nvme, but at this point in time it is kind of irrelevant given how much more costly gen5 drives are with very marginal real world use gain, and all the recommendations are still on gen4 drives at most. make sure u are getting the plus version of the board, the msi gaming non plus should be avoided if possible.
vrm temperatures are generally not a primary consideration; assuming u are watching hwu videos on mobo testing, they do emphasise that vrm temperatures should only be considered after things like features and pricing, and should only come into play as a tiebreaker. for a 7500f, there should be 0 concern since it does not pull that much power compared the 7950x that is used in testing, and even if u do upgrade to an x3d cpu for better gaming performance, the x3d chips are generally more efficient, with the 78x3d actually pulling less power for more fps.
Quite particular about temps because game often shut down my current system due to overheating issues, usually gpu(rtx1080). Have to open the side panel and not playing on higher settings despite able to run it.
as soreloser mentioned, vrm temperatures dont usually affect gpu temperatures since the power dissipated by the vrm is miniscule compared to most gpus, most likely the other way around that is the case.
RAM - 32GB TEAM T-FORCE DELTA RGB DDR5 6000MHz CL30
Storage - Samsung 980 Pro 7000MB/s Gen4 Nvme M.2
Graphics Card - Powercolor Hellhound Amd Radeon RX 7800XT 16GB OC Triple Fan GDDR6
Any parts can change to lower the price without affect much reliability? Going with invader so probably dynacore pricelist.
invader currently does not offer any builds with the 7500f, and doesnt follow 100% to dynacore pricelist depsite being affiliated, since i do see some top ups for upgrades not tallying with the price differential for the same upgrade from the pricelist. personally, i would shop for alternatives from other sources: u can get similar spec ram from performance pc for $20 less, crucial t500s and wd sn850xs are generally cheaper than 980 pros for very similar performance, and u can get cheap powercolor 78xts (non hellhound) from techyard.
Because from the first post, it seems like the parts are sourced across multiple shops, then how does one build the pc if never done it before?
can learn from friends or online resources then try urself, or can get a computer shop to build it for u (usually for a fee).
GPU: SAPPHIRE PULSE AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16G 16GB GDDR6 Graphics Card ($659 Dynacore)
maybe can consider sapphire pure for white aesthetic, but it is $100 more. or if u want to save money, techyard has a similar 2 fan model from powercolor for $35 less.
SSD: WD BLACK SN850X 2TB ($225 Dynacore)
amazon got sk hynix p41 plat 2tb for $200.
PSU: XPG core reactor 850w ($129 Performance PC)
650w enough for 7500f + 78xt, can get the supernova ga 650w for $20 cheaper from pc themes.
CASE: CORSAIR 4000D Airflow White ($119 Dynacore)
Since the case only comes with 2x stock fan, I'm thinking of replacing it, depending on whether I'm doing AIO or Air.
there are better value cases out there, and since u are using an matx mobo i would suggest getting an matx case as well, since there will be a lot of empty space if u put a matx mobo in an atx case. a white montech air 100 argb can be found for $81 at vii pc, and already packs 4 rgb fans so u dont have to buy extra. or for $6 more than the 4000d, u can get the lian li lancool 216 white from bizgram with 2 huge 160mm rgb intake fans.
but this seems like a decent guide.
