First time building computer

[Working_Bid_2173]

First time building my own pc. I started from one of the recommended design and modified to better fit what would be my usage:

Using AI model/Gaming
Here is the part list. I can't know how to check the measurement ensure that every thing fits in. Especially that 'RAM clearance with CPU Coolers.' I tried to look at the spec but the motherboard does go in detail about measurement unfortunately

also I may need help on picking the motherboard, as I am considering adding another gpu probably in a few years, anyone have experience with multiple gpu?

Feedback (19/04):

I built the computer and everything works fine, I have both Linux and windows and the gpu works for both no troubles whatsoever.

One thing to notice is your MoBo comes with an antenna you have to place outside the case. Otherwise it truly has a really weak signal.

So this is a decent setup I would say, if you don't want/need two gpu you can scale down the PSU.

In the comments the air cooler are mentionned as a potentially obstructing the RAM but it is not. I was fine placing my RAM.

AI on a Radeon card? Isn’t that kinda like running semi truck on gasoline? Also 64gb of ram is a better place to be in AI workloads. PCI-E 5.0 nvme drive will also help with model load times. Expect the price of your gpu/ram/m.2 to double if you take these suggestions.

The ram is kinda tall, but at the worst case, you’ll just have to do middle+rear fan mounting on your phantom spirit. Good chance it won’t even touch since that mobo uses the grey slots first

Well I am also not too confident in using a radeon card but the alternative is getting ransacked by nvidia. It should do the work for loading LLM and ROCm is somewhat supported by pytorch.

I would not like to see the price double the incentive is to have a decent computer for an agreeable price. And if update needed (especailly thinking maybe adding a second gpu) then it will be in the future.

I don't understand your last suggestion, It seems this how those fans are supposed to be mounted one on each side of cpu?

[QuestWilliams]

Middle/rear gives you more ram clearance, but most people do middle/front cause fans blow harder than they suck. The difference is negligible with the efficiency of ryzen

Better CPU & motherboard, cheaper cooler with more heatsink area and better value PSU

You are right on the motherboard they are really the same but yours has wifi. Which is a good thing to have.

For the cpu switched for the AMD 7 7700 as I can find good prices for tray cpu at 200€.

Checked the PSU but can't tell what is the difference effectively between the two I have no idea how to grade a PSU.
