This needs no further apology, you're one of the chosen few, you have my utter acceptance!

What kinds of games do you play?

Are you intending any SIMs like MSFS2024 or any heavily modded games like Fallout?

Anyone reading this and getting frustrated thinking "PC Snobbery", it's far worse than that, it's PC Elitism, get it right!

Thanks, I feel honoured :)
Usually fps games, strategy and open world games of most genre.

Cool, thanks

Have just made a couple of minor tweaks, with reasoning below:

Case
CORSAIR iCUE 5000X RGB MID TOWER ATX CASE - WHITE
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D Eight Core CPU (Up to 5.2GHz/104MB w/3D V-CACHE/AM5) - The gaming king, outperforms the 7950x3D and costs less
Motherboard
GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 (AM5, DDR5, M.2 PCIe 5.0, Wi-Fi 7) - Better value board, includes 2.5GHz LAN, have left the additional card in below as unsure if you needed a secondary LAN
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair DOMINATOR TITANIUM DDR5 6400MHz CL32 (2 x 16GB) KIT - Excellent choice, 6000MHz is the sweetspot, but overshooting is a good idea as @Scott very correctly enlightened me to when I was building mine
Graphics Card
32GB ZOTAC GEFORCE RTX 5090 SOLID - HDMI, 3 x DP
1st M.2 SSD Drive
1TB SOLIDIGM P44 PRO GEN 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 7000MB/sR, 6500MB/sW)
1st M.2 SSD Drive
4TB CORSAIR MP600 PRO NH NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD (up to 7000 MB/R, 6500 MB/W) - Better endurance drive and cheaper, the Samsungs have had issues with failing early on the 990 Pro model but so far we've had no SolidGM or Corsairs suffer the same fate
Power Supply
CORSAIR 1200W HXi SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® PLATINUM V2
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead, 1.0mm Core)
Processor Cooling
CORSAIR ICUE LINK TITAN 240 RX LCD RGB HIGH PERFORMANCE CPU COOLER - If you have the budget available, I would up this to the 360, it's overkill but the 240 is just ok really, I'd rather have the headroom. The 280mm is also worth consideration if you want quieter operation
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING
Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Card
2.5G ETHERNET PCI-EXPRESS CARD (10/100/1000M/2.5G) (1 x RJ45) - Have left this in, but the board already has this
Wireless Network Card
NONE OR ONBOARD Wi-Fi (MOTHERBOARD DEPENDENT)
USB/Thunderbolt Options
MIN. 2 x USB 3.0 & 2 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL + MIN. 2 FRONT PORTS

Hold on.... 32GB 5090?? :unsure:

How did I not know this. I thought it was 24GB :ROFLMAO:

Anywho! That's a ridiculous build that! You should opt for the Crucial primary, it's the only thing you've not got ;)o_O:cool:

I looked at the crucial Gen 5, the option is greyed out. I assume that means out of stock, but it still appears to be selectable. As I have to wait for the gpu anyway, would it be worth amending the order in case this comes back in stock?

Out of stock till the 17th, shame as it's literally the only thing not top spec in your build haha.

If you get closer to that date then it's worth switching it out. You won't really notice much difference, it's just a numbers game but with it being the only piece in the puzzle missing it's worth doing it.
