One hell of a machine. What's it for? What's the budget? What monitor will you be using?

Hey. Just playing games, not got a clue when it comes to pc's made the jump from console ps4/5 to pc this time last year purchased a omen with amd ryzen 5 5600g with a amd rt 6600 xt graphics card. So was hoping this setup would be a nice upgrade. Using a Sony 65TV as a monitor, budget was 3800 so I'm at that but can add a little more £ as not knowing anything about pc's not sure if everything is correct etc... Thx

It’s hard to really go wrong when spending this much, but can optimise this a little further.
Do you know the model or refresh rate of the TV? If it’s 60hz we can save on our GPU, if it’s 120/144hz the 4090 will be getting utilised.
Please could you include the configuration link so that we can make some recommended adjustments?

You can make amendments without affecting your queue position or incurring any extra charges up until your PC goes into the build stage. These are the changes I would recommend:
Case
COOLERMASTER MASTERBOX TD500 MESH ARGB GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™ i7 16-Core Processor i7-13700K (3.4GHz) 36MB Cache Downgrading CPU won’t make a difference to gaming performance at 4K, while costing less, drawing less power and putting our less heat.
Motherboard
ASUS® ROG STRIX Z690-F GAMING WIFI (LGA1700, USB 3.2, PCIe 5.0) - ARGB Ready General consensus is Asus are more reliable, I’m not massively clued up on the minutiae of why though 😅
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5 5600MHz (2 x 16GB) 32GB is all you’ll need for gaming, 64GB is reserved for heavy productivity builds.
Graphics Card
24GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4090 - HDMI, DP
1st M.2 SSD Drive
500GB SAMSUNG 980 PRO M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 6900MB/R, 5000MB/W) Fast primary drive for windows and programs. This lets you run all your background processes separately from your games, and also means that if you need to reinstall windows for whatever reason you don’t have to worry about reinstalling your games library. You will need to leave a note in amendments to have PCS install windows on here as they will default to the fastest drive.
1st M.2 SSD Drive
4TB SEAGATE FIRECUDA 530 GEN 4 PCIe NVMe (up to 7300MB/R, 6900MB/W) Large, fast drive for everything else. Definitely a splurge but fits in the budget and will make the most of direct storage as it matures.
Power Supply
CORSAIR 1200W HX SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® PLATINUM, ULTRA QUIET Robust PSU to handle the transient spikes of the 4090, and will handle future upgrades if you want to keep chasing the best hardware upgrades.
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead, 1.0mm Core)
Processor Cooling
Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX RGB Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler
Thermal Paste
STANDARD THERMAL PASTE FOR SUFFICIENT COOLING Capellix comes with premium paste so Arctic paste isn’t necessary.
Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Card
10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT
USB/Thunderbolt Options
MIN. 2 x USB 3.0 & 2 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL + MIN. 2 FRONT PORTS
Operating System
Windows 11 Home 64 Bit - inc. Single Licence [KUK-00003]
Operating System Language
United Kingdom - English Language
Windows Recovery Media
Windows 10/11 Multi-Language Recovery Image - Unlimited Downloads from Online Account
Office Software
FREE 30 Day Trial of Microsoft 365® (Operating System Required)
Anti-Virus
NO ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE Norton slows your system down.
Browser
Microsoft® Edge
Warranty
3 Year Silver Warranty (1 Year Collect & Return, 1 Year Parts, 3 Year Labour) Silver warranty is fine, almost all faults will occur in the first year, going for more than this is down to personal preference. I went for Silver in my own PCS build.

We love you Ukraine
The model of TV would be nice to know, Just to make sure it's a true native 120hz TV,
I say this because I've seen some people get confused on the different of 120hz Trumotion / 120hz motion rate over native 120hz.
Also to know the resolution as that will have a major impact on the build.

Both very true. Build above is based on the TV being 4k with true native 120hz refresh.
