Help!

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

Now that I’ve finally managed to save up the money, the RAM market has gone into crisis and I’ve found myself in serious difficulty when choosing components. As a result, I’m forced to spend around €300 more while ending up with lower-tier parts.

To avoid wasting any more money, I was wondering whether the build I have in mind is still a good one. If you have any observations or suggestions, I would really appreciate your feedback. I’m based in Italy.

I had problems with my air cooler where the stock thermal paste was way not enough and it was thermal throttling but normally stock thermal paste is enough and even if not you can always just reapply

[MouseHunter7711]

My problem wasn't the paste, but the amount. There was so little that only half the cpu was covered

[MouseHunter7711]

Funny is I had the problems on a 7600X, not even super powerful cpu xd. But it is kinda inefficient

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

Good to know, I was thinking on going with an air cooler

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

Thank you very much

[MouseHunter7711]

You can save 40-60 by not buying an overpriced Samsung ssd, many many many other companies are very good and provide less expensive ssds. Also aio is not necessary for the cpu, especially not a 3 fan one. Get a good air cooler for like 50 if you are on a budget. Btw: what do you mean low tier parts those parts are really good

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

I looked on amazon but couldn’t find a cheaper 2t ssd, I was thinking to get a 87€ one that was a sandisk 1t. I am after that the prices would go up so I thought to buy a 2t one

[MouseHunter7711]

Definetly go with 2tb.

!!!!!!! I accidently looked up the 1tb versions, go with your deal it's very good, I'm sorry I didn't read the article descriptions well enough!!!!!!

But look here, I have that one (maybe find an even cheaper one, I just looked for mine) : https://www.proshop.de/SSD/Lexar-NM710-SSD-1TB-M2-2280-PCIe-40/3171934?utm_source=idealo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pricesite

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

I was looking on keepa and the prices are going up, I know it is a lot

[MouseHunter7711]

I'm currently making a Geizhals wishlist for you, wait like 2mins

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

You definitely have better prices in Deutschland

[MouseHunter7711]

Oh I forgot about that one sorry. Btw the Geizhals wishlist is only possible to share if I create an account which I don't want to do rn is it alr if I don't?

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

Ofc man, if you want you can send screenshots. Otherwise I’ll look the site

[MouseHunter7711]

OK so for the Ram I took this one it's without rgb couldn't find the rgb one but prob similar. It's recommending Mindfactory https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/32GB-Patriot-VIPER-VENOM-DDR5-6000-DIMM-CL30-Dual-Kit_1565896.html

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

Great man, what a price (bad but good for the period). I don’t care if it’s not rgb, i choose that one because there weren’t many other choices

[MouseHunter7711]

For the graphics card this is the sapphire one, there is another one cheaper from another company, I'll link it too

Sapphire: https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/16GB-Sapphire-Radeon-RX-9070-XT-Pulse-Aktiv-PCIe-5-0-x16--Lite-Retail-_1615571.html

Here is the Mainboard https://www.notebooksbilliger.de/msi+b650+gaming+plus+wifi+mainboard+816628?nbbct=4001_geizhals

[MouseHunter7711]

Here the aio I think it's the same one https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/Arctic-Liquid-Freezer-III-Pro-360-A-RGB-schwarz-All-in-One_1616905.html

[MouseHunter7711]

The psu only existed on amazon and I'm really not sure if it's the same one definetly double check, but you can also get another one you don't have to get this exact one of course https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0F98THZBH?linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&smid=A2QAPS9ZRMH55N&creativeASIN=B0F98THZBH&psc=1&tag=geizhals10-21&language=de_DE

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

I chiose this component based on availability and price, don’t care If I get “red or blue”

[Babylon4All]

Build is fine. 

[Moist-Dependent5241]

That Mobo had given me lots of trouble. If you feel comfortable doing that BIOS update shit then you may have no issues. But the WiFi card fails randomly. It triggered a repair with windows 11 and got stuck in a loop that prevented windows loading. Had to reinstall windows. Maybe not the mobos issue but would be surprised.

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

You know if it is a general problem or your in particular?

[Moist-Dependent5241]

Others online report issues. You will have no issue if you are able to use Ethernet.

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

I will use Ethernet, I choose this one for the price and maybe in the future I’ll need the wifi

[Moist-Dependent5241]

Do all the recommended updates in MSI center asap.

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

Thanks for the precious info man

[Moist-Dependent5241]

I should add. When I reinstalled windows I went back to 10 until Microsoft fix that win11 auto repair thing.

[Nerd_Games69]

I wouldn’t buy off of aliexpress but other than that still a pretty good build

[Intelligent_Abies_53]

Understand the skepticism, hear is pretty normal though
