PC Sherdog PC Build/Buy Thread, v6: My Power Supply Burned Down My House

[KaNesDeath]

Functionality primarily, but aesthetics never hurts

Any full tower case that uses front and top panel mesh with standard PSU position will work.

Corsair 9000D is overkill. Yet functionality itll make it the last Pc Tower youll purchase in your lifetime.

Width?

GPU units, CPU heatsinks and PSU's will only get progressively larger. Case fan dimensions are even increasing.

LMFAO. Holy shit, man, just admit you don't know wtf you're talking about, and you're constantly blowing hot air out of your ass.

"The reason, you see, is that, well, in this dystopian future that is entirely irrelevant to question before me, which is whether or not this case will support the installation of an RTX 5090, components will swell to the size of whales...no, great cities! An industrial maw of grotesque proportion! And in that time, in that dark future, our hero will regret that he only has one of the widest Mid ATX cases that is currently in existence, and not the widest!! Don't you see? Haven't you looked upon the horrors in the PCPP compatibility filter??! It only supports up to 170mm air cooler heights. It could support up to 172mm! Across the thousands of Mid ATX cases made over the past two decades, there has been at least a few dozen that are wider!"

 

[Slobodan]

Are you looking for aesthetics and or functionality?





These are reviews at release. AMD update came a month or so later that gave the 9900X3D and 9950X3D marginal game performance uplift over the 9800X3D.

Yeah so the 9800X3D is still the best gaming CPU, the difference is within margin of error. No one should be buying the 9900X3D or the 9950X3D just for gaming.

 

[SandisLL]

Width? LOL, are you serious? You think a case that is 245mm wide and on paper is specified to support air coolers up to a height of 170mm has insufficient width?

iCUE 5000X RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Smart Case — White

The CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB is a mid-tower ATX case that shows off your PC, and not its cables. Four stunning tempered glass panels and three included CORSAIR SP RGB ELITE fans put your PC on display.

For coolers will be enough IMHO.

That I do know that you don't have job and all your technical skills are to bite ppl in MMA forums about technical stuff you actually don't know, not alone that you don't pay bills for internet services you are using?

[SandisLL]

You are normally triggered in proper english. Now press report buttons, wrote PMs for mods and admins etc.
You do not have job and do not pay your internet bills.

If for you is strange stuff to use don't instead of do not etc.
Had you graduated from elementary school?
I have doubts.

What games are you looking to play, and at what resolution?. Building a PC for League of Legends at 1080p 60hz doesn't require anywhere near the power that Cyberpunk at 4k 144hz does.

newer titles 4k 144hz

i want the PC to be able to run new games comfortably for 4-5 years.

i don't care about having the best best graphics, but i want something fair that runs smoothly

That's not a midrange PC if you mean AAA titles.

Okay can you please give just s couple specific examples of cases of which you'd approve?

Recommending the 9000D is absolutely ridiculous. That's a $500 case, that doesn't include any fans.
It's not even that much wider than the 5000x. It's 170mm vs 180mm.

 

[Madmick]

Its completely the wrong Pc case for a 5090.

@KaNesDeath What's the issue with the case?

Airflow and width.

Okay can you please give just s couple specific examples of cases of which you'd approve?

Why bother hearing what they might be? He's made it clear has no idea what he's talking about. That's why Jeff and I are talking about manufacturer-specified air cooler clearance heights. Your 5000X is specified to support air coolers up to 170mm. This is better than knowing the width of the case because Corsair is telling you the distance between the face of the motherboard once installed and the side of the case.

There's a reason PCPP has a filter for CPU cooler clearance and not GPU clearance. Because outside of SFF builds the GPU height is less commonly an issue. If one buys a liquid CPU cooler, then the GPU will still be the tallest component on the motherboard. But if you buy a robust air cooler, the air cooler is the hog. That's why PCPP knows builders will broadly be more concerned with knowing air cooler clearance than GPU clearance.

The GPU you've selected has these dimensions:

https://www.msi.com/Graphics-Card/GeForce-RTX-5090-32G-GAMING-TRIO/Specification

(L) 359mm x (H) 149mm x (W) 70mm

The air cooler has these dimensions:

Phantom Spirit 120 SE – Thermalright

www.thermalright.com

(L) 110 mm x (H) 154 mm x (W) 125mm

And, so you understand, the GPU height factors in the bracket. The air cooler can't get lower than the seat of the motherboard on top of the CPU.

RTX 5090 Founder's Edition

You don't need a case the size of a freaking office file cabinet for a computer. It's absurd.

Thanks man. Truly appreciated

Something like the Fractal Design North XL will serve your interests functionally and might do the same aesthetically.

Recommending the 9000D is absolutely ridiculous. That's a $500 case, that doesn't include any fans.
It's not even that much wider than the 5000x. It's 170mm vs 180mm.

Example with how excessive one could go. He's a individual purchasing a $2,400 GPU and a $35 CPU heatsink in a tempered glass coffin designed for iCue's RGB vomit.

Hey I appreciate feedback regardless of whether it goes down nice or not.

But sometimes it's hard to tell exactly what your complaint is. If there's a CPU cooler that will facilitate gaming better than the one I got, tell me. I'm not trying to go for expensive stuff just for gratuity's sake. I want the best gaming Rig I can put together. The 5090 enhances gaming performance better than any other card. If it were $35.00 I'd still buy it if it were the best

 

[Blayt7hh]

Personally i'd wait to see what AMD does with AM5. See if its supported for one or two more generations. 9800X3D is the #3(?) best gaming CPU on the market. Though #1 and #2 arent worth their price to performance increase.

I don’t really understand the logic here. If he waits a few generations then he’d be buying at the end of AM5s life cycle. Then he wouldn’t have an upgrade path.

Doesn’t matter anyways. He needs to build now and 9800x3d is probably going to be remembered as one of those all time great parts.

 

[My Spot]

Don't forget an optical drive.

Pc gaming will always follow a constant. Components like the RAM, motherboard, CPU and GPU will inevitably be replaced. Spending more money on peripheral hardware is the better purchase.

Unless you are driving a 4K display or utilizing a 500+hz monitor. 5090 purchase doesnt make sense.

It makes no sense to splurge on a keyboard or mouse more than your GPU.
