Currently looking at aftershock Anniversary bundle and wonder if this is a good deal for
$3145
- AMD RYZEN 7 7800X3D Processor
- AFTERSHOCK Glacier Mirror 360mm Watercooling
- Gigabyte B650M Gaming X AX
- PowerColor Radeon RX 7900XTX Hellhound 24GB
- 32GB ADATA Lancer RGB DDR5 6000MHz (16x2)
- 1TB Lexar NM790 Gen4 SSD
- 850W Deepcool 80+ Gold
- Wireless + Bluetooth Included
- AFTERSHOCK Zeal M V2
- Windows 11 Home 64 Bit *Unactivated*
not bad for a 7800x3d + 7900xtx build, though there has been corner cutting on the mobo, nvme, (probably case) and aio while the psu is also quite sus.
I've tried picking my own items from Dyna PL based on reading past suggestions and price came up to about the same but slightly more expensive (better items)
- AMD RYZEN 7 7800X3D Processor
- Asus Tuf gaming b650m-Plus
- Gskill Flare DDR5 EXPO 6000 CL32 32GB (16x2)
- ThermalRight Assassin 120 SE
- Nitro+ 7900xtx
- WD black SN850X
- Asus Rog LOKI 1000W ATX3.0 SFX-L Platinum
- Lian Li 011D Mini
Total about $
3497.
Any suggestion on parts that i can save on or swap and if my custom is better value than aftershock bundled deal?
as cutthroat and rockarolla mentioned, the psu is very overkill and expensive. even if u want to keep to the o11d mini, u can get the corsair sf850l (that is atx3 compliant) for $150 less and is still 50w more than as recommended by sapphire; 850w is way more than enough to keep upgrading well into the future. u can also save another $100+ by opting for the 7900xtx pulse, which should perform very similarly to the nitro+. these 2 changes should bring the cost down to $3250, which i think is worth the better quality parts and longer warranty from distro (5y nvme, 10y psu, lifetime ram) opposed to just 3y on the aftershock build. u can consider going for the non se pa120 from tradepac for basically the same price to shave a few degrees too, though the se is fine if u not sure how to diy (and dynacore may charge build fee to include this non se since it is not bought from them).
in my opinion though, unless u play specific games that benefit greatly from 3d vcache, u should just follow the high performance productivity + gaming rig in the first post. the 13700 keeps up very well with the 7800x3d in most gaming scenarios (at least 90% of the 7800x3d's performance), and chances are u wont be playing at cpu limited resolutions with this pc so u likely wont notice the difference. the 13700 also delivers vastly superior multicore performance at a much lower price point.
For psu, can go for MSI A850GF @ 159 or Superflower Leadex III 850w @ 165, both are tier A and 10yrs wty
super flower only offers 5y warranty, id go with the msi on this one at least.
Actually , picked 011D mini for the looks lol
I picked a SFX-L psu though, which i think it supports? Not very sure.
yes it does. its always a good idea to review the compatibility of ur parts (ie google and/or pcpartpicker) before confirming.
If you going for O11D mini type of looks, you can have a look at the Tecware VXM TG, around half the price, and looks-wise its almost a carbon copy of o11d mini
also supports full atx psus, which are cheaper. u can get an atx3 850w psu for yet another $60 saving over the corsair sf850l. chances are the veal m v2 is some rebranded case too, the v2 moniker is uncannily similar to the tecware vxn (not vxm) v2.
Hi guys I am looking to build a 7800x3d with a 7900xtx in a lian li 011 dynamic Evo case
I was quoted this
AMD RYZEN 7 7800X3D 4.2GHz 8CORE/16THREAD
MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI AX ARGB
COOLER MASTER MASTER LIQUID 360MM COOLER
G.SKILL TRIDENT Z5 NEO RGB 6000MHZ 16GBX2 32GB CL32
SAPPHIRE NITRO+ RX 7900XTX GAMING OC VAPOR-X 24GB GDDR6
CRUCIAL P3 PLUS 2TB GEN4 NVMe M.2
SILVERSTONE DA850-850W 80+ GOLD
LIAN LI O11 DYNAMIC EVO CASING
10 X120MM LIAN LI AL120 FAN
$3750/-
Is the price good and is there any components that I should switch out?
its abit costly, though part of it is due to the 10x al120s
which system integrator is this? i personally would swap out the da850 for a more reputable unit from the likes of asus, corsair or seasonic. u also dont need a 360mm aio, the 7800x3d sips power and will perform the same under a much cheaper air cooler. and again, u can opt for the pulse 7900xtx if it is much cheaper.
EDIT: looked at ur dedicated thread again, for u and
@fashommies, since both of u are playing at higher resolutions like 1440p and 4k rather than 1080p, yall can cut back on cpu and save a lot of money while getting most of the 7800x3d's performance at those resolutions.
7800x3d is very overpriced locally, u can slash $400 off cpu + mobo combo by opting for a ryzen 7600 for eg while still having 95% of the performance. and again, something like the 13600k from intel will also be very comparable even at lower resolutions like 1080p for a $200-300 discount.
