Would love to hear your input on this monstrosity...

This is going to be not a big leap but a huge one since my current computer is over 8 years old and i think it is time to build a new acomputer.

These is what i need:

CASE(Full tower) = Fractal Design Define 7 XL = ~$230

GPU = MSI Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24GB GDDR6 = $950

CPU = Intel Core i7-14700KF 14th gen = $393

MOBO = MSI MPG Z790 EDGE TI MAX WIFI LGA 1700 = $389

RAM = 32GB DDR5 but don't know which there are so many of them (gskill?)

PSU = MSI - MEG Ai1300P PCIE 5.0, 80 PLATINUM = $250

SSD = 4x WD_BLACK SN850X 4TB = $230 =($920) or Samsung 990pro or both?

Win 11 Pro = $21

Will be purchasing from these vendors: Newegg, Amazon, Microcenter, or Bestbuy.

I need help with RAM and maybe Motherboard is the one i picked any good? Am i missing anything?

A big thanks and happy holidays!

All purpose PC, gaming @4K, editing, etc.. As for storage is to store data and it's less than 16TB :p
So many motherboards too is another issue

Everything I see looks good except I personally would go with the 990 Pros and an AMD CPU/MOBO just because it's just as fast and runs cooler overall. First time I'm building a non-Intel system myself also.

our PC Parts Picker list doesn't work for me.

Looking at your original list...I don't see a CPU cooler. That's an important component...these things run HOT! I have an i5-13600K...the Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer II 280 I have struggles at times.
With that case, you should have a ton of options...air, custom loop, or AIO liquid cooler.

The important thing is to lock in your purchases by Monday. After that, some prices will probably edge up.

Although there are certainly cheaper Windows keys to be found, Woot! has it for $25 and they are an Amazon company. If I understand correctly, most of the sub $25 Windows keys are from "gray market" resellers. YMMV


I want to go to Micro Center for an AM5 bundle, but they keep selling out of the budget MSI B650-P motherboard. :( They have lots of open box boards and RAM kits from returns on hand, which isn't reassuring LOL.
