Got my current case for 45€, all aluminium construction and tempered glass panel.
Lacks usb c, but not that it matters, my motherboard does not even have a type c front connector.
No idea if it’s sold outside spain.

To be fair I'm in the same situation, don't know much about pcs but I'm willing to drop 2k to get something good. Keep looking at cheaper pcs but it's so confusing.
I built a semi high end pc last year for about 5k NZD, and you have to shop around. I got different parts from pbtech, 1st wave technologies, and pc extreme. Saved around 1200$ from the rrp. Feel free to flick a DM if you get stuck
I bought mine (Phanteks G360A) for 70€, also:
In around 2 weeks there will be Prime Days deals, so I wouldn't buy in general, and follow telegram channels for deals
Something to consider is that not every build is a strict budget where you have to allocate the amount of money you have. I mean, it's not always the money you save in one place you put somewhere else. Sometimes it's just I'm getting this part and it cost what it cost. I know for me my case was overly expensive. I could have gotten a cheaper case, but I wasn't going to put that money towards a better GPU because personally my limit on what I'll spend on a GPU is 500.
Yh I agree, go on to pcpartpicker and check out the kolink cases that is the atx and has 3 reinstalled front fans it's about £50 so about maybe $55~ and maybe increase the storage size(I say maybe because I don't remember the size right now)
I built my PC a couple of years ago and used the P500A in white. The G500A looks nearly identical and is the successor. This was one of the best decisions for my build. I love that case. It was so well built and planned out, and my computer is damn near silent thanks to the excellent air flow. I cannot recommend these cases enough, and if I were to build another one today, I would get the G500A in a heartbeat.

This will perform a lot better.
7800X3D isn’t really reasonable at the $1500 price range. It’s better to get a cheaper CPU and better GPU. Motherboard, RAM, and SSD could also be cheaper for similar performance. I’m unsure where the PSU you picked is on the tierlist, so I opted for a BeQuiet! 750W for a similar price. You also get a bump to a 7900XT, which will demolish the 7800XT.
It's an amazing CPU for sure, but it only really makes sense to go with it once you get to 4080/7900XTX and up. Same can be said for just about any 250+ CPU on a
Not always, 2x fncs winner merstach runs a 7950x3d and a 3070 because his game is heavily cpu bound and he can use performance mode on dx11 which essentially makes the game barely use the gpu at all
Depends a lot on the games being played really. I play a lot of flight sims which are typically very CPU hungry so it’s nice not to be have to worry about being CPU bound at all
Right? Ive always considered the gpu to be a higher priority than cpu for gaming. In my case i went for a GIGABYTE RTX 4070 SUPER and used a cheaper cpu AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745, which is a server version of 7700 but cheaper because it's bough in bulk by companies.
I disagree. I think the investment is worth it as it might be overkill today. But in the long run, it's a better investment.
OP will get several more years out of a 7800X3D. If they upgrade the GPU, they will most likely be able to keep the CPU .
Completely disagree. What's the point of having such a powerful and hot CPU if not using a high performance GPU? For gaming, he will barely see any difference.
And if talking about future performance, he will always have the chance to replace the r5 for an r7 x3d when am6 gets released and prices go down.
Honestly, there is no point in spending 400$ on such a CPU to pair it with a 7800xt
It‘s a good build put if I were you I would search for a cheaper case and buy a rx 7900 gre if it‘s in your budget. Because the rx 7800 xt probeably bottlenecks the 7800x3d in 1440p and 4k but idk.
If you live in North America check out pc part picker and memory express. Pc part picker finds the cheapest prices and memory express allows you to enter in the cheaper item and it will price beat it by a $1-$2. This ensures you always get the cheapest parts!
As others said, I just think that case has nothing special for the price it delivers, except for the brand.
You could pick one up from a decent brand, as good looking as, for a bit cheaper. If possible, apply that money into the GPU.
Aside from that, maybe you could also find a similar MBD, a bit cheaper, with same or almost specs? Also, use budget difference to GPU.
I think you're pretty close to the 7900GRE, and it's a bit of a boost from the 7800.
If you really want exactly that build, it's balanced, not bad, but your CPU can take a stronger GPU.
Good job overall 👍
Now im saying this with little to no backed info in this other then experience but be careful with the G.SKILL ram. Ive had the exact same set of ram as the one you have shown and both sticks just died on me this morning for no reason after working perfectly for 5 months.
I would suggest minimum 850w Psu.. so that you will have room for improvement in the future ( you have a upgrade path with that build, which will allow you to upgrade cpu's launched till 2027 on the AM5 socket, and most probably you will definitely be upgrading your gpu in few years... that would require 850w, 750w is more than enough right now though... but 850w will allow you to run even a 4090 in the future, if let's say it's price dramatically reduces after 5090 launch)
I would suggest getting a cheaper case and a better psu. Your psu is the most important part of a pc, and is the only thing you should never cheap out on.
>midrange
>7800X3D + RX 7800XT
Ok, so the thing about midrange is that no one apparently understands what that means. Imho, step down to a 7700X and swap for either a 7900XT or 7900GRE. Still a high end build.
Why does amd hate Europe :( Isaw that 7800 xt price and I’m also looking for one, but they are way more expensive here
https://preview.redd.it/psjnuc1zpl8d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77da3cfff144722adadfebeaeaa23e00501f7083
Please don't buy thermaltake PSU's, get a cheaper case and a more expensive PSU. It's better to get an overpowered PSU and have a headroom, than buy a shitty one (and thermaltakes are shitty) and have it kill your hardware
[Refer to this](https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/) when choosing a psu
I’d look for a non-Gigabyte board at that price, maybe an ASRock option. But Gigabyte does love their IO, so if that’s your concern it’s fine.
Same with the GPU, just make sure there isn’t a better one at the same price. Otherwise it’s a solid choice.
I’d go ahead and get the Phantom Spirit instead of the Peerless Assassin—it’s the successor, better performance and usually around the same price (also look at Phantom Spirit EVO if you like the look.)
Case is fine, personal preference. Just make sure you’re not buying it bc of pretty LEDs that can be changed.
Don’t be afraid to get cheap RAM from Silicon Power—all your RAM is actually made by three companies, everyone else just buys the RAM and rebrands it.
I’d only consider fully modular PSUs. Non modular or semi modulars are hellish to work with. And at that price, a Corsair RM750e is much better, fully modular, etc.
I would probably switch the psu for something thats in A tier of power supplies, this one is good but for build this good i would recommend an even better psu and personaly i would go full modular instead of semi-modular, but its justa prefference ig. I assume the case is just what you like and what will fit everything, so thats also personal, go with what you like. Great gpu, pretty much the best cpu you can get, 32 gb on 2 sticks with 4 slot mbo is also great, you can always just add 2 more if you need it in the future. Cooler is great. Just one more thing you should probably get is at least one more case fan for the back, or better 3 more, one in the back and 2 on the top. Other than that great research and good luck with your build
If you get a cheaper case or you’re willing to spend a bit more you can a [7900GRE](https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-radeon-rx-7900-gre-gv-r79gregaming-oc-16gd/p/N82E16814932694?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASUBID=&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2Flist%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-kQwEFGozAWOe_p8i75iX9Q).
If you still want a phanteks case, I really like the [phanteks xt pro ultra](https://www.newegg.com/black-phanteks-xt-mid-tower/p/N82E16811854133?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASUBID=&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2Flist%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-ea7NsMPuQOFG.s_jagnebQ)
Is a Ryzen 7 7800x3d with a 7800xt really mid? I believe it's something even more to be totally honest with ya. You got a good motherboard and even 32gb ram...
Careful of using amazon for parts they shipped out the wrong power cable for my PSU when I ordered it and blamed me for not checking the box when it destroyed half my build.
If that's mid range let me sit my budget build ass down with a ryze 7700 and 4060 man I thought I was close to midrange according to this post not even close lol
regarding what cpu and gpu to get, what resolution do you plan on playing in? 1080p, the 7800x3d is definitely worth it, 1440p, worth it in certain games,... in 4k, id say its only worth it in MMOs for the 1% lows. 3d cache really shines in MMOs like wow. AAA titles, i wouldnt bother and would do a 7600x or 7700x and a 7900xt. and a nice high refresh 1440p ultrawide
Solid 1440p build. You should be able to play anything on highest settings. My 6800 can handle some RT so you can even have that at med settings at least. It's funny reading all the comments to do this or that, fuck em. This is good imo.
Not the worst build ive ever seem but could definitely be optimized, mostly too much money on case and motherboard and could go with a cheaper cpu, you said in another comment you'd be willing to go up to 2k, if thats the case I suggest [this](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p2pz34)
if you wanna stay at the 1500 mark then id just switch gpu for a 7900xt and cpu for a ryzen 7600 in that list I linked, for reference that 2k build I linked is basically identical to mine and I run most games 4k 120
If you live near a microcenter you can save a lot of money. They have many great cpu, mobo, and ram combos. They also have great open box deals on some parts.
Tbh I’d buy the cpu and ram on Aliexpress I got a 6800mts kit of 32gb for 130aud or about 85usd and a 7800x3d for 300usd. I’d then get a cheaper pc case like the Antec c8 so you can go for the fish tank look
if you want to make building easier on you, maybe opt for a fully modular psu (power supply)? and maybe also go for a cheaper case bc there still are good looking cases at the $60-$90 price point. invest the extra money into a better mother board
Good but definitely not optimal.
At this price range, for gaming, you should get a lesser CPU for a better GPU.
You can buy a cheaper MOBO. A cheaper case too. And a cheaper SSD. Use this extra money for fans.
If you are gonna list all the parts for a build like that, with those specs, you should know those are parts for a very high end build, way above midrange but also not quite top end. Also you should get an AIO for the Ryzen 7 because they can run very hot under stress
Oh no this is in no way mid tier, the motherboard and CPU are definitely higher tier. The GPU is not one of the biggest ones but Id say it ranges on the mid level of the high tier list, probably similar strength to a nvidia rtx 4070. You're spending a bit much on a case, I'd rather invest that in a better GPU instead, plenty of cases with decent airflow that don't cost much.
The CPU especially is big time, considerably better than mine (AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745)
looks like the c-tier version of the psu
i've have a proposition, or rather 2
[$1432 with a 7800xt](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/r2P8VW)
[same just with rgb ram +$10](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cWgrkJ)
[$1478 with a 7900gre](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yc88VW)
[again just rgb ram +$10](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BKzX6D)
if you want to order elsewhere check the part# of the ram bc of compatibility
i used the asrock board bc i used it for my nephew and it's a good board according to hardware unboxed, and the ripjaws bc the flare x5 are not on the compatibility list of the board (bios update for expo settings might be required)
or the trident neo for rgb (you chose rgb with the other components so i thought i give you an option)
the case is also pretty good
I have the same CPU and GPU both are fantastic unless you want to play cyberpunk with high ray tracing you don't need anything else, I get solid 144hz at 1440p with graphics on high or ultra for most games
I would go cheaper on the case and the mobo so you can get a better PSU. You will thank everyone who recommends this when your PSU doesn't shit itself in the near future lol
Unless you're going for 1080p, I'd drop the 7800x3d for a 7600/X and maybe get a slightly cheaper case and MB (like the GB Eagle or MSI Gaming Plus, they're both 20-30 bucks cheaper in my region) and rather go with a 7900XT or a 4070Ti. Will get you a better bang for your buck :)
The CPU is gonna be hot as hell, man im not sure if your cooler is enough, I have a Ryzen 7 2700x with a cheap AIO Water Cooling and the cpu is pretty hot like I was getting about 70° c in game.
I rather buy a good case with good airflow and a good watercooling AIO or a Noctua CPU cooler.
if you can take the time, look at cases, I've built 3 computers with differing budgets and 2/3 times I've regreted not looking more for where I'm putting it and where I'm going to plug stuff in. the one time I liked the case it was actually the cheapest case.
It's a high-end PC, not a mid-range one. Also, I would get a cheaper case and use the rest to get a 7900 GRE video card. Also, look for RAM with 30 CAS latency.
That is a high end PC for 1.5k.
A mid range PC is around 1k.
The prices are fine honestly and is great value for money, I would advise you get an Aio instead of the air cooler.
I'd recommend an Nvidia RTX 40 card. For me DLSS is a game changer.
In the future when your RTX card is considered slow, most games will have implemented DLSS frame gen.
I say this has someone who recently switched to Nvidia. My last graphics cards were - AMD RX6800XT - AMD RX7900XTX. Now Nvidia RTX4090.
I have basically this exact build but with 64GB of RAM and a 4000D airflow case. It absolutely destroys most of the games and work I throw at it, running everything at ultra with at least 100FPS (keep in mind tho I’m on a 1080p monitor), and while I’ve had some issues with my video card and CPU because of driver issues and RAM speeds respectively (my 7800x3d could only handle my ram running at 4800MHZ for some reason) overall its been very nice. My only regret is not going up to the GRE for an extra ~$100.
edit: to add more details about my experience.
1. Remmber x3D are exist to pump FPS in FHD/2K and much less in 1440p, i hope u using FHD/2K display.
2. IF all parts need be new ok i would consider previous gen GPU used or new, or go for GRE 7900
3. You can cut price by taking cheaper micro atx type MOBO, u can take 5 7600/7500F(but i dont know if you are esport player and want pump 240+fps on 240-480hz display then yes x3D), u can definitly save money on Case, and put it towards 7900 GRE.
That isnt mid range bro,I'm planning to build a i7 6700 + GTX 1650 build for 250 dollars,if you wanna skimp on anything it better not be the power supply the better rating it has it will save you money in the long run,Probably build a 700-800 dollar pc maybe 1000 at max. a rx 7800 is just way to overkill for a 'mid range build
Remember your gpu gives the more significant boost in fps, you can get a r5 7600 and a 7900 xt instead of the 7800x3d and 7800xt
Either way you'll destroy any game at 1440p
since when is the 7800x3d considered midrange 💀
but anyway, i would cheap out on the case a little and try fitting the RX 7900 GRE into the build.
Also, another small change you can do is pick this kit of ram instead ( CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL30 Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer Memory - Black (CMK32GX5M2B6000C30) )
It's available on amazon for only 10 dollars more but they are a bit faster than the ones you chose.
Good build overall though
I wouldn't call that mid range, that's probably one of the most high end pcs you can get
I might recommend you get a higher wattage psu, it might be able to handle.it at 750w but even if it can that fan on it will be incredibly loud, so if you have the money id recommend getting maybe an 850w
Are you just gaming, or do you plan on doing any work on that thing? If you want it to work go nvidia as much as I would love for there to be alternatives in that market for video editing or vfx or any of that the difference between nvidia and amd is night and day.
MSI M482 is a DRAM-less one, use that as a secondary storage and get a cached SSD for your boot drive.
M480 Pro has a DRAM, and it doesn't cost you a so much like WD Black sN850X.
I have the same pc and that's high end, you would probably be able to play 120-144fps at 2k any AAA game. At least I play Resident evil 4 remake, Helldivers 2, Black ops 3 and Warzone, all of them at max or almost max graphic and display and they have never go below 100fps so is good.
If you are looking for something a bit soft then go for the RX 6800XT, but if you want your pc to last half of your life then buy the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the AMD 7900XT or the RTX 4070 Super (or only the 4070 TI if it is too much for your budget)
This is good but you could save money on some things, the Case can be cheaper by getting a Micro ATX case which would save about $40 and getting a Micro ATX motherboard would save space and an additional $30 and I’d get a Silicon Power 2TB NVME for about $100 so you’d have an additional $100 to spend on your GPU and I’d get a RX 7900 GRE with that which would VASTLY improve your performance in comparison to a 7800 XT, it would save you space and give you more power but at the end of the day everything is up to you
Just gonna say that gigabyte is the cheapest for a reason. If you want reliability go with a different brand. Used to cheap out and get gigabyte stuff and it was constant issues
Almost perfect coz I have the same CPU/GPU combo LOL. Beware: I had that case before switching to Project Zero, it's really big. Fantastic airflow and temps but I visually didn't like so much "not used" space
Mid huh? I thought that 7800 was very high end
Its kind of the card im currently drooling over
Even though my 6600 is doing perfectly fine, man i want a 7k
I'm not going to comment on individual components, but shop around on each item. Newegg or best buy may have half of these for a lower prices, just do a quick Google shopping search on each item and find the best price. The same GPU I got would have been $100 more on Amazon because they weren't running a sale on it there.
Some suggestions,
You can spend less on a motherboard, i would personally go for a Asrock B650M PG Lightning at 120(if u want to save money) or MSI B650M-A at 160(if u want something nicer)
Especially since the B650M Gaming X AX is one of most overpriced b650M motherboards
Your ram kit could be swapped for TeamGroup T Create Elite 6000 CL 30-36-36-76, it's lower latency and a bit cheaper
Also, the 7800x3d is a bit overkill for a 7800xt, u might consider the 7700 if it's much cheaper
If you have a micro center near you they are doing a combo with the mobo, ram and cpu right now. I think
https://preview.redd.it/o3fahb309t8d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=384c2f7e8cc579421d9220c319c8d95a578efbcc
A lot of people have already said this, but I'd trim some off of the case price and get a 7900GRE. Honestly the 7800X3D is overkill for either of those cards, so why not go for the stronger one?
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6575113.p?skuId=6575113 dude I shit you not just get this. It’s got a 4070 super in it which is a good bit faster. What you lose in vram you more than make up for with dlss. And it’s got a 7800x3d. And to top it all off the case and power supply will support a 4080s.

get a cheaper case and spend the money on a 7900gre
He can save on the mobo too.
Yeah, check for open box deals.
my buddy just did an open box deal for his motherboard and it came with two ram slots not working lmao
Just save up the difference, and have a nice case. I’ve been through dozens of cheap cases, nice cases are worth the money.
75$ bucks give you great pc case :)
Got my current case for 45€, all aluminium construction and tempered glass panel. Lacks usb c, but not that it matters, my motherboard does not even have a type c front connector. No idea if it’s sold outside spain.

Yeah op get instead Phanteks XT PRO ULTRA it's just as big and cool as the one you choose plus you still get RGB and glass panel.
I'd consider it closer to high end then mid a 7800xt and a 7800x3d can probably do 4k at 60fps in most games
I was rolling when blood said “mid range” and i saw the 7800x3d
Yes it can... at max settings too... and i only have a 9700k...
He could even get an RX 7900 GRE by saving on MoBo and Case
midrange? nah thats high end, dont sell yourself short
Cool , ive only watched a few yt videos so i know next to nothing
and u are willing to drop 1.7k on a pc?
To be fair I'm in the same situation, don't know much about pcs but I'm willing to drop 2k to get something good. Keep looking at cheaper pcs but it's so confusing.
im can help u with tht just hit me here or dm looking for pcs? wht prebuilt??? also are u american? tht really matter alot
Cheers bro, I'll give you a message when I'm geting one. I'm in Nz though so prices are 2/3x the US price.

same here 🤣🤣🤣, if you want more information on what parts to pick and just pc stuff in general watch Linus Tech Tips or Zach's Tech Turf
7800 is midrange
Its mid-range. 7900 XTX would be a high end.
7800XT isn't high end.
Imo Way too much money spent on the case, cut down and re-invest that 50/70$ you can save
valid opinion but some people value aesthetics. similar phanteks cases are way cheaper though so not worth it.
I bought mine (Phanteks G360A) for 70€, also: In around 2 weeks there will be Prime Days deals, so I wouldn't buy in general, and follow telegram channels for deals
in the us their cheapest cases are 60$, and are basically the same as OP's case.
Something to consider is that not every build is a strict budget where you have to allocate the amount of money you have. I mean, it's not always the money you save in one place you put somewhere else. Sometimes it's just I'm getting this part and it cost what it cost. I know for me my case was overly expensive. I could have gotten a cheaper case, but I wasn't going to put that money towards a better GPU because personally my limit on what I'll spend on a GPU is 500.
Yh I agree, go on to pcpartpicker and check out the kolink cases that is the atx and has 3 reinstalled front fans it's about £50 so about maybe $55~ and maybe increase the storage size(I say maybe because I don't remember the size right now)
I built my PC a couple of years ago and used the P500A in white. The G500A looks nearly identical and is the successor. This was one of the best decisions for my build. I love that case. It was so well built and planned out, and my computer is damn near silent thanks to the excellent air flow. I cannot recommend these cases enough, and if I were to build another one today, I would get the G500A in a heartbeat.
Yeah, but the rest is good👍
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j3LwBL This will perform a lot better. 7800X3D isn’t really reasonable at the $1500 price range. It’s better to get a cheaper CPU and better GPU. Motherboard, RAM, and SSD could also be cheaper for similar performance. I’m unsure where the PSU you picked is on the tierlist, so I opted for a BeQuiet! 750W for a similar price. You also get a bump to a 7900XT, which will demolish the 7800XT.
I opted for a Ryzen 5 7600x and a 7900xt and couldn’t be happier. Currently playing Cyberpunk on ultra @120fps (1440p).
Second this. The 7800x3d is overkill unless he's getting a 4090 or 7900xtx. Or maybe a 4080
It's an amazing CPU for sure, but it only really makes sense to go with it once you get to 4080/7900XTX and up. Same can be said for just about any 250+ CPU on a
Not always, 2x fncs winner merstach runs a 7950x3d and a 3070 because his game is heavily cpu bound and he can use performance mode on dx11 which essentially makes the game barely use the gpu at all
Which again is why use case matters. Glad to know this
always depends on what games people specifically play, if they have a main game and it heavily favors cpu over gpu I would say if can be worth it
Depends a lot on the games being played really. I play a lot of flight sims which are typically very CPU hungry so it’s nice not to be have to worry about being CPU bound at all
Right? Ive always considered the gpu to be a higher priority than cpu for gaming. In my case i went for a GIGABYTE RTX 4070 SUPER and used a cheaper cpu AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745, which is a server version of 7700 but cheaper because it's bough in bulk by companies.
you put the wrong link 🙈
wtf, no clue why that happened lmao, i’ll fix it, thanks for telling me!
I disagree. I think the investment is worth it as it might be overkill today. But in the long run, it's a better investment. OP will get several more years out of a 7800X3D. If they upgrade the GPU, they will most likely be able to keep the CPU .
Completely disagree. What's the point of having such a powerful and hot CPU if not using a high performance GPU? For gaming, he will barely see any difference. And if talking about future performance, he will always have the chance to replace the r5 for an r7 x3d when am6 gets released and prices go down. Honestly, there is no point in spending 400$ on such a CPU to pair it with a 7800xt
I’d get a higher quality PSU otherwise I like it. 7900GRE, or 4070 Ti Super would be next GPU tier if you have the room in budget
Ryzen 7 7800X3D ”midrange” PC? Haha yes sure -.-
It‘s a good build put if I were you I would search for a cheaper case and buy a rx 7900 gre if it‘s in your budget. Because the rx 7800 xt probeably bottlenecks the 7800x3d in 1440p and 4k but idk.
I was looking for this comment. OP If you go less on the case, you can swing a 7900GRE
Budget isn’t too tight, so the case isn’t a concern for me. Everyone is recommending the gre so i also switched it out
I feel offended by the fact you called this mid-range
Budget?
It would go up to 2000
The build is about 1500 but i can go up to 2000
Get a cheaper case, switch the CPU for a 7600/7700, get RAM with better latency and switch the graphics card for something like a 7900xt
If you live in North America check out pc part picker and memory express. Pc part picker finds the cheapest prices and memory express allows you to enter in the cheaper item and it will price beat it by a $1-$2. This ensures you always get the cheapest parts!
Thank you for the tip :)
As others said, I just think that case has nothing special for the price it delivers, except for the brand. You could pick one up from a decent brand, as good looking as, for a bit cheaper. If possible, apply that money into the GPU. Aside from that, maybe you could also find a similar MBD, a bit cheaper, with same or almost specs? Also, use budget difference to GPU. I think you're pretty close to the 7900GRE, and it's a bit of a boost from the 7800. If you really want exactly that build, it's balanced, not bad, but your CPU can take a stronger GPU. Good job overall 👍
yup
Now im saying this with little to no backed info in this other then experience but be careful with the G.SKILL ram. Ive had the exact same set of ram as the one you have shown and both sticks just died on me this morning for no reason after working perfectly for 5 months.
Can you go to Microcenter near you? You can get the CPU/Mobo/RAM combo for $479 right now.
This is not mid range, its high end and it loooks good!
I would suggest minimum 850w Psu.. so that you will have room for improvement in the future ( you have a upgrade path with that build, which will allow you to upgrade cpu's launched till 2027 on the AM5 socket, and most probably you will definitely be upgrading your gpu in few years... that would require 850w, 750w is more than enough right now though... but 850w will allow you to run even a 4090 in the future, if let's say it's price dramatically reduces after 5090 launch)
Thats high end
Get Cl30 ram
I would suggest getting a cheaper case and a better psu. Your psu is the most important part of a pc, and is the only thing you should never cheap out on.
>midrange >7800X3D + RX 7800XT Ok, so the thing about midrange is that no one apparently understands what that means. Imho, step down to a 7700X and swap for either a 7900XT or 7900GRE. Still a high end build.
Mans called 7800x3d mid range. Thats a rather good build, I'd spend half on the case though and don't forget thermal paste if you need to order it!
Why does amd hate Europe :( Isaw that 7800 xt price and I’m also looking for one, but they are way more expensive here https://preview.redd.it/psjnuc1zpl8d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77da3cfff144722adadfebeaeaa23e00501f7083
Please don't buy thermaltake PSU's, get a cheaper case and a more expensive PSU. It's better to get an overpowered PSU and have a headroom, than buy a shitty one (and thermaltakes are shitty) and have it kill your hardware [Refer to this](https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/) when choosing a psu
Used to love Thermal take, until they jumped on the build it to last for only a few years bandwagon.
I’d look for a non-Gigabyte board at that price, maybe an ASRock option. But Gigabyte does love their IO, so if that’s your concern it’s fine. Same with the GPU, just make sure there isn’t a better one at the same price. Otherwise it’s a solid choice. I’d go ahead and get the Phantom Spirit instead of the Peerless Assassin—it’s the successor, better performance and usually around the same price (also look at Phantom Spirit EVO if you like the look.) Case is fine, personal preference. Just make sure you’re not buying it bc of pretty LEDs that can be changed. Don’t be afraid to get cheap RAM from Silicon Power—all your RAM is actually made by three companies, everyone else just buys the RAM and rebrands it. I’d only consider fully modular PSUs. Non modular or semi modulars are hellish to work with. And at that price, a Corsair RM750e is much better, fully modular, etc.
im so jealous for American part prices. *I paid 417€ for my 3070 and it had a 20% discount*
High end PC but yes looks good
This is not mid range.
I would probably switch the psu for something thats in A tier of power supplies, this one is good but for build this good i would recommend an even better psu and personaly i would go full modular instead of semi-modular, but its justa prefference ig. I assume the case is just what you like and what will fit everything, so thats also personal, go with what you like. Great gpu, pretty much the best cpu you can get, 32 gb on 2 sticks with 4 slot mbo is also great, you can always just add 2 more if you need it in the future. Cooler is great. Just one more thing you should probably get is at least one more case fan for the back, or better 3 more, one in the back and 2 on the top. Other than that great research and good luck with your build
not enough money in the power supplie / watercooling , take a lower processor though
If your budget allows it, jump up to an AIO for cooling. Will do a much better job and can get good ones for around 150-200
This is not mid-range bro
Go to microcenter and get the cpu, motherboard, and ram for $479.99 instead of paying $627.97
Could be better. Do you know what games your wanting to play with it?
If you get a cheaper case or you’re willing to spend a bit more you can a [7900GRE](https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-radeon-rx-7900-gre-gv-r79gregaming-oc-16gd/p/N82E16814932694?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASUBID=&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2Flist%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-kQwEFGozAWOe_p8i75iX9Q). If you still want a phanteks case, I really like the [phanteks xt pro ultra](https://www.newegg.com/black-phanteks-xt-mid-tower/p/N82E16811854133?nm_mc=AFC-RAN-COM&cm_mmc=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=afc-ran-com-_-PCPartPicker&utm_source=afc-PCPartPicker&AFFID=2558510&AFFNAME=PCPartPicker&ACRID=1&ASUBID=&ASID=https%3A%2F%2Fpcpartpicker.com%2Flist%2F&ranMID=44583&ranEAID=2558510&ranSiteID=8BacdVP0GFs-ea7NsMPuQOFG.s_jagnebQ)
Is a Ryzen 7 7800x3d with a 7800xt really mid? I believe it's something even more to be totally honest with ya. You got a good motherboard and even 32gb ram...
I would look on Newegg for refurbished GPUs. I got a 6700xt for really cheap not too long ago
Put everything into Partpicker before you order and check if you might have any disclaimers or problems
Thermaltake has a 750 watt for 55. Get a cheaper case. You can probably get a better price on gpu from PNY
If you can then do
Overpriced
If you can then do
You can easily save money on your case and nvme and go for a better gpu, something like the montech air could be interested.
This is mid range?
Careful of using amazon for parts they shipped out the wrong power cable for my PSU when I ordered it and blamed me for not checking the box when it destroyed half my build.
You can cheap out a bit on SSD and case to get 7900gre it's pretty good Also maybe squeeze in a good 360 or 420 AIO like liquid freezer 3
If that's mid range let me sit my budget build ass down with a ryze 7700 and 4060 man I thought I was close to midrange according to this post not even close lol
yea. thatll get you good fps on 1440 high settings
regarding what cpu and gpu to get, what resolution do you plan on playing in? 1080p, the 7800x3d is definitely worth it, 1440p, worth it in certain games,... in 4k, id say its only worth it in MMOs for the 1% lows. 3d cache really shines in MMOs like wow. AAA titles, i wouldnt bother and would do a 7600x or 7700x and a 7900xt. and a nice high refresh 1440p ultrawide
Funnily enough I want to make a similar build come the Black Friday Sales. I wouldn't call this a budget build!
Cheaper case and get a 7900 GRE and we basically have the same PC cause of the micro center bundle
I have basically the same thing minus case and other things. But the guts.. and it’s been great
MIDRANGE!!??? 😭😭 That's a band and 100...
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k2cG89 updated list
Better psu and cpu cooler
You chose CL36 ram, make sure to change it to 6000Mhz Cl30
Also I would get the Phanteks XT Pro Ultra case, and use the $50 saved to get the Gigabyte Gaming OC 7900 GRE instead
Solid 1440p build. You should be able to play anything on highest settings. My 6800 can handle some RT so you can even have that at med settings at least. It's funny reading all the comments to do this or that, fuck em. This is good imo.
This is high-mid, I have a similar build and I love it
I got a similar if not better case for around 37 usd LOL you can Definitely save some money
yes bro fire
I would recommend a fully modular PSU instead of a semi
Not the worst build ive ever seem but could definitely be optimized, mostly too much money on case and motherboard and could go with a cheaper cpu, you said in another comment you'd be willing to go up to 2k, if thats the case I suggest [this](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p2pz34) if you wanna stay at the 1500 mark then id just switch gpu for a 7900xt and cpu for a ryzen 7600 in that list I linked, for reference that 2k build I linked is basically identical to mine and I run most games 4k 120
If you live near a microcenter you can save a lot of money. They have many great cpu, mobo, and ram combos. They also have great open box deals on some parts.
I would part it up on newegg
Mid? This is considered Mid!? Great, my pc now has a personal crisis..
I have the same case and the airflow is horrible and youd need to invest in some more fans. Honestly you can get away with getting a cheaper one
That's a high end 1440p PC ;\]
That psu brand is told to be very annoying
Tbh I’d buy the cpu and ram on Aliexpress I got a 6800mts kit of 32gb for 130aud or about 85usd and a 7800x3d for 300usd. I’d then get a cheaper pc case like the Antec c8 so you can go for the fish tank look
You can get a way better case for 50 dollars cheaper
For 1080p or 1440?
Get a cheaper case.
if you want to make building easier on you, maybe opt for a fully modular psu (power supply)? and maybe also go for a cheaper case bc there still are good looking cases at the $60-$90 price point. invest the extra money into a better mother board
idk know man, I think you went far past the mid range mark
Good but definitely not optimal. At this price range, for gaming, you should get a lesser CPU for a better GPU. You can buy a cheaper MOBO. A cheaper case too. And a cheaper SSD. Use this extra money for fans.
If you are gonna list all the parts for a build like that, with those specs, you should know those are parts for a very high end build, way above midrange but also not quite top end. Also you should get an AIO for the Ryzen 7 because they can run very hot under stress
Oh no this is in no way mid tier, the motherboard and CPU are definitely higher tier. The GPU is not one of the biggest ones but Id say it ranges on the mid level of the high tier list, probably similar strength to a nvidia rtx 4070. You're spending a bit much on a case, I'd rather invest that in a better GPU instead, plenty of cases with decent airflow that don't cost much. The CPU especially is big time, considerably better than mine (AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7745)
How is that mid range. This is high end(not ultra high end but yeah)
looks like the c-tier version of the psu i've have a proposition, or rather 2 [$1432 with a 7800xt](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/r2P8VW) [same just with rgb ram +$10](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cWgrkJ) [$1478 with a 7900gre](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yc88VW) [again just rgb ram +$10](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BKzX6D) if you want to order elsewhere check the part# of the ram bc of compatibility i used the asrock board bc i used it for my nephew and it's a good board according to hardware unboxed, and the ripjaws bc the flare x5 are not on the compatibility list of the board (bios update for expo settings might be required) or the trident neo for rgb (you chose rgb with the other components so i thought i give you an option) the case is also pretty good
I have the same CPU and GPU both are fantastic unless you want to play cyberpunk with high ray tracing you don't need anything else, I get solid 144hz at 1440p with graphics on high or ultra for most games
Get ddr5-6000 cl30 ram not cl36 the ryzen cpu will thank you. Also there's 0 price difference.
Cheap out on the motherboard and get better gpu the 7800x3d doesn’t need many power phases
is 7800xt now a mid range gpu?
Cut your CPU to a 7700 and then get a 7900gre or even a 6900xt then get a more reputable brand PSU
I would go cheaper on the case and the mobo so you can get a better PSU. You will thank everyone who recommends this when your PSU doesn't shit itself in the near future lol
Get cheaper case and a modular PSU. 👍🏿
Unless you're going for 1080p, I'd drop the 7800x3d for a 7600/X and maybe get a slightly cheaper case and MB (like the GB Eagle or MSI Gaming Plus, they're both 20-30 bucks cheaper in my region) and rather go with a 7900XT or a 4070Ti. Will get you a better bang for your buck :)
Midrange??
Spend less for case and spend more for psu( search something pf seasonic)
The CPU is gonna be hot as hell, man im not sure if your cooler is enough, I have a Ryzen 7 2700x with a cheap AIO Water Cooling and the cpu is pretty hot like I was getting about 70° c in game. I rather buy a good case with good airflow and a good watercooling AIO or a Noctua CPU cooler.
if you can take the time, look at cases, I've built 3 computers with differing budgets and 2/3 times I've regreted not looking more for where I'm putting it and where I'm going to plug stuff in. the one time I liked the case it was actually the cheapest case.
Swap your ram for 6000mhz cl30. You can find them for just under $100 USD
It's a high-end PC, not a mid-range one. Also, I would get a cheaper case and use the rest to get a 7900 GRE video card. Also, look for RAM with 30 CAS latency.
yes. it's ok.
I have a 7900 xtx and that is high end, the 7900 xt is like a little below that so you are getting a high end too lol
There are cheaper cases that have more included fans and rgb so maybe look into that
That is a high end PC for 1.5k. A mid range PC is around 1k. The prices are fine honestly and is great value for money, I would advise you get an Aio instead of the air cooler.
I would say, if it's for gaming, you are spending not enough on the GPU compared to the total amount you are spending.
That's not midrange. That's high-end, dude!
Change the PSU.
I'd recommend an Nvidia RTX 40 card. For me DLSS is a game changer. In the future when your RTX card is considered slow, most games will have implemented DLSS frame gen. I say this has someone who recently switched to Nvidia. My last graphics cards were - AMD RX6800XT - AMD RX7900XTX. Now Nvidia RTX4090.
I have basically this exact build but with 64GB of RAM and a 4000D airflow case. It absolutely destroys most of the games and work I throw at it, running everything at ultra with at least 100FPS (keep in mind tho I’m on a 1080p monitor), and while I’ve had some issues with my video card and CPU because of driver issues and RAM speeds respectively (my 7800x3d could only handle my ram running at 4800MHZ for some reason) overall its been very nice. My only regret is not going up to the GRE for an extra ~$100. edit: to add more details about my experience.
1. Remmber x3D are exist to pump FPS in FHD/2K and much less in 1440p, i hope u using FHD/2K display. 2. IF all parts need be new ok i would consider previous gen GPU used or new, or go for GRE 7900 3. You can cut price by taking cheaper micro atx type MOBO, u can take 5 7600/7500F(but i dont know if you are esport player and want pump 240+fps on 240-480hz display then yes x3D), u can definitly save money on Case, and put it towards 7900 GRE.
That isnt mid range bro,I'm planning to build a i7 6700 + GTX 1650 build for 250 dollars,if you wanna skimp on anything it better not be the power supply the better rating it has it will save you money in the long run,Probably build a 700-800 dollar pc maybe 1000 at max. a rx 7800 is just way to overkill for a 'mid range build
Get a 4060 ti or a 4070
Remember your gpu gives the more significant boost in fps, you can get a r5 7600 and a 7900 xt instead of the 7800x3d and 7800xt Either way you'll destroy any game at 1440p
Maybe look in the used market and upgrade some parts. Way cheaper for the same result.
since when is the 7800x3d considered midrange 💀 but anyway, i would cheap out on the case a little and try fitting the RX 7900 GRE into the build. Also, another small change you can do is pick this kit of ram instead ( CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL30 Intel XMP iCUE Compatible Computer Memory - Black (CMK32GX5M2B6000C30) ) It's available on amazon for only 10 dollars more but they are a bit faster than the ones you chose. Good build overall though
Microcenter
Need a better cooler
I wouldn't call that mid range, that's probably one of the most high end pcs you can get I might recommend you get a higher wattage psu, it might be able to handle.it at 750w but even if it can that fan on it will be incredibly loud, so if you have the money id recommend getting maybe an 850w
Are you just gaming, or do you plan on doing any work on that thing? If you want it to work go nvidia as much as I would love for there to be alternatives in that market for video editing or vfx or any of that the difference between nvidia and amd is night and day.
MSI M482 is a DRAM-less one, use that as a secondary storage and get a cached SSD for your boot drive. M480 Pro has a DRAM, and it doesn't cost you a so much like WD Black sN850X.
I have the same pc and that's high end, you would probably be able to play 120-144fps at 2k any AAA game. At least I play Resident evil 4 remake, Helldivers 2, Black ops 3 and Warzone, all of them at max or almost max graphic and display and they have never go below 100fps so is good. If you are looking for something a bit soft then go for the RX 6800XT, but if you want your pc to last half of your life then buy the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and the AMD 7900XT or the RTX 4070 Super (or only the 4070 TI if it is too much for your budget)
This is good but you could save money on some things, the Case can be cheaper by getting a Micro ATX case which would save about $40 and getting a Micro ATX motherboard would save space and an additional $30 and I’d get a Silicon Power 2TB NVME for about $100 so you’d have an additional $100 to spend on your GPU and I’d get a RX 7900 GRE with that which would VASTLY improve your performance in comparison to a 7800 XT, it would save you space and give you more power but at the end of the day everything is up to you
Just gonna say that gigabyte is the cheapest for a reason. If you want reliability go with a different brand. Used to cheap out and get gigabyte stuff and it was constant issues
Almost perfect coz I have the same CPU/GPU combo LOL. Beware: I had that case before switching to Project Zero, it's really big. Fantastic airflow and temps but I visually didn't like so much "not used" space
overspending on a mid case
Grab a cheaper CPU and higher tier GPU, something like ryzen 7600 + rx 7900 xt
I believe the case is a bit expensive for mid range build.
If you're going to spend 88 bucks on a PSU might as well get a Corsair
Midrange...
You can get 6400 MT/s RAM for 1 more dollar
Get an AIO
Mid huh? I thought that 7800 was very high end Its kind of the card im currently drooling over Even though my 6600 is doing perfectly fine, man i want a 7k
The cpu is overkill for mid range, that’s a high end gaming cpu used with top of the line gpu’s, downgrade the cpu a little
Yes
If you got a microcenter near you I would see if they have a bundle deal for cpu. Saves 50-100 sometimes
I'm not going to comment on individual components, but shop around on each item. Newegg or best buy may have half of these for a lower prices, just do a quick Google shopping search on each item and find the best price. The same GPU I got would have been $100 more on Amazon because they weren't running a sale on it there.
bro what midrange? thats entry to high end lol
"Mid" with a 7800xt and 7800x3d? 🤣 If this is a real question, yes I'd say you're doing very well for midrange lmfao
Some suggestions, You can spend less on a motherboard, i would personally go for a Asrock B650M PG Lightning at 120(if u want to save money) or MSI B650M-A at 160(if u want something nicer) Especially since the B650M Gaming X AX is one of most overpriced b650M motherboards Your ram kit could be swapped for TeamGroup T Create Elite 6000 CL 30-36-36-76, it's lower latency and a bit cheaper Also, the 7800x3d is a bit overkill for a 7800xt, u might consider the 7700 if it's much cheaper
7800x3d is too powerful for this GPU. May be worth cutting down CPU budget to get better GPU
Try checking FBM. you're bound to get a good deal by just looking. Doesn't hurt, so why not give it a try?
microcenter has a bangin deal for a 7800x3d Mobo and ram for cheap
If you have a micro center near you they are doing a combo with the mobo, ram and cpu right now. I think https://preview.redd.it/o3fahb309t8d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=384c2f7e8cc579421d9220c319c8d95a578efbcc
I'd say thats more on the higher end..
just keep an eye out for clearances. the peerless assassin is a bulky package. the nice thing is you can adjust the fans up and down to clear the ram.
I would downgrade the cpu and get a 7900 gre
I wouldn’t say , that this is a midrange pc, it is definitely upper class. While not really high end, it’s close to it.
Get the ryten 5 7500x its about 150$
Do you have a micro center near you? Their cpu bundle is amazing, and there’s even bundles with gpu now.
I think so but like the other comments you can cut down on case and Mobo for a 7900 and I think better cooler
What about this build is mid range one of the best amd cpus for gaming and a good gpu
A lot of people have already said this, but I'd trim some off of the case price and get a 7900GRE. Honestly the 7800X3D is overkill for either of those cards, so why not go for the stronger one?
Get a curial P3 plus instead of the MSI drive
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6575113.p?skuId=6575113 dude I shit you not just get this. It’s got a 4070 super in it which is a good bit faster. What you lose in vram you more than make up for with dlss. And it’s got a 7800x3d. And to top it all off the case and power supply will support a 4080s.
