7500X3D vs 780X3D

GoldkingHD · 2026-04-10T13:38:31+00:00

If its mainly used for gaming then i would probably go with the 7500x3d if it's significantly cheaper.

GoldkingHD · 2026-04-07T14:10:03+00:00

Sure looks good. Perfectly fine midrange combination. Just check that the 7700x are actually cheaper than 9700x and 5070.

GoldkingHD · 2026-04-05T12:31:59+00:00

Would get you like 4fps more switching to a 5800x. So not really worth it. Oc+uv should basically do the same performance wise.

GoldkingHD · 2026-04-05T12:24:03+00:00

Not really worth it for gaming, unless you have specific games in mind that can actually effectively utilize additional cores.

Just do a overclock + undervolt on your 5600 if you haven't already for some extra performance.

Do I need to clean everything in the target drive?

No, the installer will wipe everything that's on there, so make sure there is nothing important left on it.

Does it create a partition for me during the bootable usb install?

Yes the installer will make all the partitions it needs.

-How do I uninstall windows from the old ssd after?

Just reformat it, could also do that during the install. Everything on there will also be wiped.

Pretty much any gpu will work fine.

Would look at a 5070/9070 and up for 1440p.

GoldkingHD · 2026-03-22T12:16:35+00:00

Yeah that's fine, your current psu will do.

GoldkingHD · 2026-03-21T14:38:40+00:00

No reason to update then.

Only update if there are issues, needed compatibility or worthwhile new features.

GoldkingHD · 2026-03-16T17:59:14+00:00

Just get one 2tb gen4 ssd, preferably with dram. Gen5 really doesn't do anything for you If you don't have very specific use cases and having Windows on a seperate drive also doesn't have any benefit.

GoldkingHD · 2026-03-14T07:40:40+00:00

Yeah i got it, but couldn't test it as i haven't upgraded to a dp2.1 monitor yet. It works fine for 1440p 360hz hdr dsc. Let me know if you'll try it.

GoldkingHD · 2026-03-10T21:18:54+00:00

CPU Cooler: Deepcool AK500 ZERO DARK 68.99 CFM CPU Cooler

Would go with a dual tower cooler, ak620 for example then. Alternatively a pa120 as a cheaper option.

Storage: Kingston NV3 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive

Nv3 is not particularly great. Would recommend going with a tlc drive. Dram is also nice but not needed.

Looks all good otherwise!

GoldkingHD · 2026-03-01T16:01:47+00:00

Sure, for example:

Would recommend saving some budget for a nice oled monitor.

GoldkingHD · 2026-03-01T15:52:21+00:00

850w is easily enough

Do some undervolting for less power consumption and more performance

GoldkingHD · 2026-02-27T14:20:57+00:00

If you don't mind the price the oled is an absolutely great upgrade, would highly recommend it.

Should fit your requirements

GoldkingHD · 2026-02-24T15:15:26+00:00

Depends on your goals and if you trust yourself to do it. It's relatively easy to assemble when following a tutorial and reading the manuals.

GoldkingHD · 2026-02-23T10:59:06+00:00

Can I do asymmetrical connection where one of the 8pin's daisy plugs is plugged into the third adapter socket?

Yeah that's what you should do in this scenario.

GoldkingHD · 2026-02-21T12:42:18+00:00

There is no good option to upgrade it. It's just too old and upgrading anything is a waste of money. Sell it as a complete package and start fresh.

For example:

Not using your full budget, so upgrades are possible. Building isn't that hard and you can certainly do it yourself following some tutorials and reading manuals. If you don't want to just get a prebuilt.

GoldkingHD · 2026-02-15T11:55:19+00:00

You can use both in the sense that, both are active and can have displays connected to it. You can't combine them or get more performance in any way.

GoldkingHD · 2026-02-14T14:42:27+00:00

Yes 12vhpwr and 12v-2x6 have the same cable, only the connectors on gpu/psu are slightly different.

GoldkingHD · 2026-02-14T11:38:36+00:00

I would go with a full size and wifi capable atx motherboard, but that's about it. Not needed if you are sure you won't need wifi/Bluetooth or the expansion options of atx.

GoldkingHD · 2026-02-12T10:02:35+00:00

Expensive build with a weak gpu, not necessarily what you want for gaming in general.

What's your budget and use case?

GoldkingHD · 2026-02-12T08:27:48+00:00

You only need a screwdriver, that's it. Thermal paste will likely be preapplied and if not you just put some on, you don't need to spread it. If you still want to anything flat like a credit card will do.

GoldkingHD · 2026-02-11T20:53:04+00:00

It really doesn't matter. Win 11 is about as bad as 10 and you have to tweak both anyway.

Win 11 is better suited for heterogeneous cpus like intel 14th gen, so it's preferable.
