a 5090!? Can I be your daughter too?

literally max out every component
“Is it good guys?” Yeah i think it’s solid

Haha fair man, if you dont chew these type of things is good to ask first to confirm. Every component seems to be the best the market can offer at the moment, so if its the best you’re looking for, search no more. :)

only comment is that gigabyte is usually good, but has been having problems lately. if it were me, i’d swap out the gigabyte for an ASUS GPU
MrLuigi002@lemmy.world 1 day ago
This list right here matches what is considered top of the line components right now. I would even call it “overkill”.
What games does your daughter usually play? Because even for modern games, you do not need a 5090 or 4090 graphics card to play 4K max settings. A 4080 or 5080 is enough.
Same with the CPU. You can also change the 9950X3D for a 9800X3D and that would be very future proof.
As for the RAM, usually with 32GB, you are perfectly safe for high-end gaming, but the prices have gone down in the past year and you might as well put 64GB in there.
Storage is fine. It’s pricey, but one less headache since games nowadays take too much space. More SSDs can be connected if she needs more space later on.
The monitor is one thing I fully agree on. It’s OLED and very expensive, but having bought one myself, I don’t see me coming back to a LED display.
The case is all about personal taste and ease of assembling the computer.
And the motherboard and PSU can be paired back if the CPU and/or GPU are also paired back.
Overall, it’s your decision. I just wanted to communicate that a good gaming PC doesn’t need to cost you three months’ worth of salary. But if you don’t want to change anything, you can be assured that you’re buying her the very best consumer components at this time. But know that you can give her “4K Max Settings” for way less money.
Trashboat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 hours ago
One thing to note, the idea of running everything at max at 4k is an extremely costly endeavor with severely diminishing returns. The difference between max and high settings in most games is very minimal (especially if you spend a minute tweaking settings) but the performance hit of maxed settings is often massive. A 5090 will certainly perform the best, but even that won’t play literally everything maxed at 4k/high frame rate, and a 5080 or 9070xt for like half the price or less will get you very close visually, while also using quite a bit less power. You’d be able to save on your PSU, as well as the energy costs too. It’ll also dump less heat into the case, which makes cooling easier. So If money is no object at all, the 5090 is hard not to recommend, but otherwise something cheaper would get you 95% of the way there
Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 hours ago
Imo 4k is overkill anyway, and chasing even 60 fps (not to mention 120 which seems to be the norm these days) at this resolution for current/“next” gen games is basically a scam from hardware manufacturers to get us to buy their overly expensive “gamer” grade shit.
Now I know it’s a bit of an extreme view in the gaming space, but imo this shit is not sustainable and doesn’t even bring that much to the table in terms of fidelity/enjoyment. 1440p works just fine and is much easier to work with, especially as your hardware gets older because fill rate really is a bitch with modern photorealistic games.
BenLeMan@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
I run 1440p capped at 75fps and cannot see a noticeable improvement with higher resolutions or framerates (my hardware is capable and I’ve tried).
Trashboat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 hours ago
I do like 4k personally, I like the extra clarity and distant details you can see, and the crisp text and icons are nice to have as well. Especially with a big monitor, it feels quite immersive in games and gives you a lot of desktop space to use too. It’s definitely a luxury though compared to 1440p, which is a much better price/quality ratio. It’s taxing on performance too, but my 7900xt can run most anything I play at medium/high at ~90+ FPS, and I tend to be pretty picky about framerate as I’m sensitive to input latency. Certainly not a low end card, but far from a 5090 or even 5080, and games still look great since medium/high usually still has a plenty of eye candy enabled. With upscaling like FSR and DLSS, you can drop the res slightly too and still have a pretty much native experience since you’re still working with a very high quality input, but that can help give a nice performance boost.
I’d still recommend 1440p to most, but it’s not too difficult to have a great experience with 4k, you certainly don’t need OPs level of hardware for it. I played for months with a 5700xt even, and while it sometimes struggled, it was playable enough at low/medium settings to have a nice time. I upgraded to the 7900xt mainly because I fried my 5700xt and it wouldn’t stop crashing ahaha, otherwise I would’ve waited longer most likely

Speculater@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
You can cut down most of those specs to get something closer to 20.000 RON that will still be future proof. If money isn’t an issue, this is a great build. A 20.000 PC will be good for about five years, a 40.000 maybe seven years. It’d be better to rebuild an entire PC in five than pay the upfront cost today.
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
While the 5090 will run the latest games great, it will struggle with many older games due to the RTX 50 series having dropped 32-bit PhysX support. RTX 40 series cards are nearly as powerful and have 32-bit PhysX, if backwards compatibility is a concern.

cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
run any game at max settings, 4K, future proofed (at least for a while)
You do understand how excessive that is right? Like “any game max settings 4k” on its own is already like asking for a Formula 1 car, asking for it to be future proofed on top of that is like asking for not just any Formula 1 car but one that can dominate the next 5 seasons.
That said, if you truly do believe your daughter needs this is can’t live without max settings 4k on every game imaginable, then your friend did a good job trying to meet your requirements.
… but is it truly necessary? Only you know the answer.

ABetterTomorrow@sh.itjust.works 18 hours ago
Like most are saying, so overkill and no need to play at max settings. It’s cool for the first play session but after that you want to save your energy bill and don’t want loud fans spinning. Also you’re fine with half of that.

Does your daughter do a lot of video editing or authoring of motion graphics? Because she could with that rig.
kyub@discuss.tchncs.de 1 day ago
Some potential optimization opportunities:
-
Memory doesn’t need to have RGB lighting (unless you want it for the optics), you can get the exact same thing without RGB for a little bit cheaper. IIRC, the non-RGB model is called “Flare X” or similar, “Trident” is the RGB one. Also, CL32 seems slightly slow… not up to date on this but you can probably get CL30 or CL28 for even more performance. 6400MHz seems OK, there are faster ones but there’s also a trade-off to be made between stability and performance so I think 6400MHz is fine. It’s important to ensure good compatibility with your mainboard. Also, 64 GB is still oversized for just a gaming rig. For pure gaming, you get basically no extra value with 64GB compared to 32GB. You only might need more than 32 GB for workstation-like use cases (video editing for example) and/or when you use VMs in parallel. Unused RAM provides no value and no additional perfomance.
-
A CPU with 16 cores could be slightly oversized for a pure gaming use-case as well, in most games you won’t notice a difference compared to the 12- or even 8-core variant instead. Again, higher core count is primarily useful for workstation-like use cases or VMs. Sometimes, the 12core can even be faster for games if it has slightly higher clock speeds for example. You should look at some benchmarks to see whether the 16core provides any benefit for gaming.
-
Mainboard: the MSI Godlike is extremely pricey and there’s very questionable, maybe zero additional value compared to a moderately priced one. The most important specs are probably the same anyway. You should take a look at a cheaper option here, unless you don’t mind throwing out money.
-
Monitor: If the player isn’t playing any fast-paced e-sports titles I think 240MHz refresh rate is overkill, but YMMV.
-
SSDs: not sure if PCIe 5 is worth the extra cash, could also go with PCIe 4 still, they’re slightly slower but it’s almost not noticeable and for gaming only affects loading times anyway (slightly!), it doesn’t affect your performance in actual gameplay. Not sure if WD is a good NVMe SSD brand actually. Consider Samsung or SK Hynix maybe.

KindnessIsPunk@lemmy.ca 1 day ago
price seems a little high but I’m not very familiar with the Romanian market. I might also consider stepping down the CPU to a 9800X3D and the PSU to 1000 watts as they’ll make little difference for your intended use case.
Here’s a sample pcpartpicker list I made but it doesn’t include the monitor as I couldn’t find a retailer that sells it there.

Deebster@infosec.pub 1 day ago
I think that PSU is larger than necessary for running a PC with a single graphics card - I haven’t done the maths but it’s probably comfortably under 850W (a common PSU size).
The memory is huge but fractionally “slow” at CL32 - I’d say 32GB of CAS latency 30 memory would make more sense (or even CL28). With such premium kit, you might even be able to use DDR5-6400 (running at 1:1 mode).
It’s a huge price though - a really good PC should cost about a half of that (or even a third depending on your local prices), those components are in the “money’s no object” end of the range. It does match what you asked for, so if you don’t mind the price it’s a solid build using all of the latest and greatest speeds and versions.
kyub@discuss.tchncs.de 23 hours ago
The 5090 might most of the time draw like 350W but like many top-end cards (also from AMD) power draw can spike really high and can reach double that even for very short moments. So you need a beefy power supply regardless. For a 5090 in combination with a top-end 16 core CPU I wouldn’t recommend anything under 1200W (so you still have some wiggle room. Power supplies are also at most efficient when they’re not at ~95-99% capacity but at ~80%).
9point6@lemmy.world 1 day ago
That GPU alone can draw nearly 600W
850W would probably cut out the second a game was loaded

I’ve never heard of that manufacturer for power supplies. The first search on them is a PSA to not get them with many comments that they don’t work. I would go for an MSI or EVGA PSU instead. Everything else looks good.

That hasn’t been the case for a few generations now. AMD has surpassed Intel in both performance and efficiency.

AMD is apparently king now, and Intel has had some pretty big snafus in recent years. Personally I see them as interchangable.
