DIY PC Rig Recommendations For 2025

[lionheart80]

I feel go for 1000W straight better in case u wan add more ARGB in the future.

Since u have so many components too eg. HDD, SSD.....is best to get 1000W.

will do, think 1000w is more safer
looking at nzxt c1000 model

Any recommendations for mb, ram & heatsink to go with 9800X3D?

Will be reusing casing, m.2 ssd, gpu and psu.

Any recommendations for mb, ram & heatsink to go with 9800X3D?

mb - a decent midrange b650 enough, something like the gigabyte aorus elite or asus tuf
ram - not a huge worry for x3d chips, a 6000mhz cl30 kit will be good
heatsink - thermalright peerless assassin for air, arctic liquid freezer series for liquid cooling
these are all minimum recommendations, if u got money to splurge then by all means.

i remember like for the Aorus elite B650M & B850M not much difference in pricing~

Probably the cheapest component but any recommendations for PC case fans?

Don't really care about RGB, prefer something with less noise

what size are you looking for? I find Cooler Master or Be Quiet fans to be good value generally.

Thermalright fans are cheap. Specifically the s12.

Taobao sells sets of 1,3 and 5 with the 5 at around 30 bucks after shipping.

 

[Vanyel]

Would suggest those fans that can inter-connect for easy cable management
No headache

Just find fans with >1600rpm will be quieter.

What's the budget

Not sure what the prices looks like now. Just looking something to refresh current set-up (been long overdue). No need every part extreme or need to OC. Just to play game only.

Hi. I would like to build a high end build. For gaming as well as light video editing.

Seek advice which CPU should I go for Intel or AMD. Don't mind to spend one time to get everything right.

Not going to overclock anything. Will use components as it is.

If AAA games,
CPU: Ryzen 7 7700
GPU: 5070 from thetechyard $759
All the other parts are up to u. Might want to request an AM4/5 mounting bracket from Noctua before you buy everything .

ur current setup is somewhere between recommended and minimum specs for bf6. i dont really see a point to upgrade, maybe u can just try playing the game on ur pc first when it launches then see if really need to overhaul. do also mention ur monitor resolution.

Cmi, tried 2042 it's barely playable for my liking.

Money not much issue, just mentally exhausted to reinstall OS and building up pc. Monitor 1440p. Eyeing to move up to OLED in future

Looks great man. How far the prices go doing own picking vs just off the shelf like invader? Any downside going mansa/invader/aftershock?

they sell u what they wanna sell. diy is u pick what u want.

after sales see ur luck. most of them 1st year so call onsite. after 1st year then is upto you. u can check out their reviews but i can say avoid kena shock.

Monitor 1440p.

hmm, 1080ti is right around recommended for bf2042, and i do see most gameplay ive seen on yt is can do 1440p60 ultra, unless ur looking for more frames.

Money not much issue, just mentally exhausted to reinstall OS and building up pc.

get a 98x3d + 5090 pc lor, no need worry for the next few years liao the 5080 pc suggested by tk is decent, though i feel 5070ti builds tend to offer most of the performance while costing a lot less, im seeing a 78x3d + 5070ti build from invader for 2.2k.

How far the prices go doing own picking vs just off the shelf like invader?

prebuilt is generally cheaper, places like invader or aftershock quite hard to beat if diy at regular prices.

Any downside going mansa/invader/aftershock?

narrower variety of parts on offer, not a huge issue if not picky but can mean u get lower quality parts (eg mobo, ssd, psu). mansa is generally quite overpriced, aftershock chops ur warranty.
