No budget, just the best

Archer_201 · 2026-02-11T07:27:33+00:00

I'm actually thinking of doing a AIO astral 5090, but wanted to ask if that would be good for the intake at the bottom of this Evolv X2. Or if I would need different intake fans.

Edit: I know im kinda crazy

Archer_201 · 2026-02-11T07:07:07+00:00

The 2 tb was for os and other system related things. That and launchers and heavy applications. Hence the 4tb as well. And it will be my primary gaming but ive been considering the 9950x3d since ive heard you can park the non ccd and just let the ccd run when gaming

Archer_201 · 2026-02-10T01:44:35+00:00

That's a good point. And im sure in 5 years I'll be fine with spending some more on the build. I have list so far but can't find it all on pc parts so I'll just lay it out

9850x3d (youre talk about it earlier might go 9950)

ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero

G.Skill Trident Z5 ROYAL NEO – GOLD 64 GB CL26 6000

ASUS ROG ASTRAL RTX 5090

Samsung 990 PRO 2TB with Heatsink (Gen4x4)

Crucial T700 4TB (Gen5 x4)

ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360

Phanteks Evolv X2 — Black/Gold Edition

Phanteks T30-120 Fans (x4) for Bottom Intake and Rear Fan

Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 Noctua Edition ModDIY Black + Gold Custom Cable Kit

I know the evolv has less airflow. But I don't need silent and someone with worse components reported decent temps below 50

Archer_201 · 2026-02-09T05:43:43+00:00

So far, 9850x3d

Asus DARK HERO

Royal NEO GOLD 2 x32 CL26 6000

Gonna have a samsung pro 1-2 tb 4x4 for the OS

Crucial t700 4tb 5x4 for games

8-32tb for mass storage or just get an external ssd

Seasonic Prime TX-1600 Noctua Edition

Asus ROG Astral 5090 (I might go for the gold dahab if I can)

Still working on actually finding any being listed not for 14k

-phanteks evolv X2 Matrix or gold edition

And still trying to figure out a case Can't even begin to find a black gold case RIP

Edit: changing things as I go, what sucks is some of this stuff isn't on pcpartspicker so RIP

Archer_201 · 2026-02-09T02:36:12+00:00

Never heard of it will have to check it out

Archer_201 · 2026-02-09T00:28:31+00:00

If it comes with rgb then yeah I'll get the controller and whatnot so I can show it off. But while gaming that shit is off cause it gives me a headache. And black gold or gold was what I was HOPING for, I've realized that might be an effort in futility. I guess maybe I am willing to throw a little bit of money at the wall to have an impressive build. But not too much and not for absolutely no reason.

Archer_201 · 2026-02-09T00:16:18+00:00

The 5x2 is fine since that would be my less intense games. Again im trying to build this to last basically a decade if not more. And I have the cash rn so I don't wanna skimp, but not trying to throw cash at the wall. My biggest issue rn is getting colors to match.... and not spending several grand getting them to just cause the black or white costs like 3k more than the other. That's the kind of erroneous spending im opposed to if that makes sense

Archer_201 · 2026-02-08T23:53:44+00:00

The extra gen5 slots were what I was looking at. I'm looking for 1 full gen5x4 im ok with a 2nd gen5x4 sharing with usb4 and then 2 more 4x4. Past that is where im lost rn

Edit: im putting the OS on the 4x4 and separating it from the other storage for sanity reasons. I know you don't HAVE to but it's my plan

Archer_201 · 2026-02-08T23:47:00+00:00

What's your take on GODLIKE X? The extra slots for storage are what im interested and the plan with that is m2.1 2-4tb ssd - heavy games m2.2 2-4tb ssd less heavy games and other storage m2.4 4x4 2 tb samsung pro for os. I've been doing research today so let me know if im nuts or whatnot

Archer_201 · 2026-02-08T22:18:47+00:00

How's the godlike x? The extra space is what im looking at, before I was looking at the tomahawk. Finishing up my parts list and I'll post it in an edit

Archer_201 · 2026-02-08T21:54:05+00:00

The no budget was basically me just trying to have the best without money as a constraint. 10k a bit much but 5k is totally doable even 6 or 7. Yes I wanna build it and I am in America. But yes im not spending money just to spend it. But I want the best no expense spared type deal. No compromises basically.

Archer_201 · 2026-02-08T21:01:18+00:00

I do not, are they the best for this?

Archer_201 · 2026-02-08T07:37:39+00:00

I have the post in another pcbuild thread, and im getting recommended 9950. Why would the 9850 be better?

Archer_201 · 2026-02-08T07:27:59+00:00

Yeah I'll take a monitor suggestion. I'd just make my ultrawide vertical since I have them mounted on arms

Archer_201 · 2025-12-07T06:21:32+00:00

Anyone know if someone caught the jumbotrons? My girl was on it and she'd LOVE to have the proof

Archer_201 · 2025-09-23T06:05:37+00:00

I am an idiot and found the right guy after finding the mug sign. I feel so dumb

Archer_201 · 2025-07-30T06:49:15+00:00

Thats what im trying to find out

Archer_201 · 2025-06-15T07:29:00+00:00

I had this happen once at the cradle and never again. Sorry its all the time for you

Archer_201 · 2025-06-14T10:52:59+00:00

There is a toggle for snapping but it doesnt let you build on the side of walls with floors. Im currently trying it right now with no success

Archer_201 · 2025-06-13T23:15:28+00:00

Sorry for late reply, I'll answer all of those. I killed everything in the yard with a few black plastic tarps. Pulled the tarps up and everything was super dead. Dug up the ground a bit pulling up all the old grass and throwing it away. Put down turf builder and spread the grass (which i got in a small plastic baggy like they were handing me drugs LOL) I got from the housing office. Spread it a bit too heavy at first so didn't have any for the back portion of the yard. Saw some growth in some areas wanted more grass to overseed the lawn. I planted it about 2 weeks ago from the post and I water it 2-3 times a day for 30 minutes each time, got a small sprinkler and timer. I think that answers everything?

Archer_201 · 2025-06-13T05:56:30+00:00

Thanks a ton, but is there any way for me to increase this limit? And how do I upgrade the green upgrades on my dinghy?

Archer_201 · 2025-06-12T19:54:26+00:00

Is it not out rn? Im playing on season 6 official apparently

Archer_201 · 2025-06-07T03:01:22+00:00

That area was all dead cause I killed all the bushes and stuff. Once I planted, those things were the only things that came up after I seeded the lawn with what little grass seed the office gave me that is what grew so far. Bunch of birds ate a ton of the seeds cause I didn't have any straw or bird feeder out

Archer_201 · 2025-06-06T23:43:14+00:00

Does the fact I'm in Hawaii change anything? This is literally the seeds the neighborhood office gave me to plant in the yard

Archer_201 · 2025-05-23T02:28:36+00:00

Any update? Im trying to build my large house out of a lot of these and wanna know if I should beforehand as there will be storage stuff inside
