Hey there, would you add the configurable link to your spec to the post and also let us know your budget. You'll find plenty of other common queries and good info here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/foru...posting-collaboration-of-helpful-hints.77691/

Looks like a beast, but for a pure gaming PC I would not spend the extra on a 7950X3D as is only has the same number of 'gaming' cores as the 7800X3D.

Also, unless you just want to waste money, the Strix level of motherboard is all you'd need.

BUT, new AMD CPUs come out next week, so you may get more for your money if you can wait a while.

If you can't, or don't want to wait, then let us know and I'm sure we can build you an equally monster build for less.

Budget: £4,000

Also planning on using it for some VM's as well as Gaming - Hence going for the extra cores.
