Building my First Computer for Gaming with RTX5090

[mama]

First things first. I can always upgrade to more storage if I need it.
Im not sure about 64gb Ram. Most Games dont even utilize 32gb, not even 16gb.
The same goes for the 9950x3D. The CPU Im getting right now should be more than enough for the 5090.
Im willing to pay alot, yes, but Im not willing to waste more money than I need to. We dont even know how much the 5090 will cost.
Maybe Im missing some points here and I welcome every good meant tipp.

It's not just the expected cost of the 5090 (or whatever it will be called) that you should consider, best practice is to see how the reviews pan out and reports on the card before building your entire system around it. You don't have to go too far back to see examples of questionable engineering.

It's an identical IO die, so no. In fact both the 9800X3D TPU tested had worse RAM OC than 7800X3D.

Are you trying to say that AMD CPUs do not improve? The 1900X was a golden unit if it could support 3200 but by the 3600x 3600 was stable and 3200 was stable on 2000. The World of CPUs is not static and just because the I/O die is the same silicone does not mean that they have not improved the performance.

The memory controller is on the IO die, which hasn't changed. Don't hallucinate what I'm "trying" to say, it's very clear.

Was the I/O die on the 1700X different than the 2700X?

I got the Alienware aw3225qf. As far as I know it has DP 1.4 and I dont really want to wait to much. Monster Hunter Wilds Release is set for the end of february.

don't buy systems in pieces at a time. Its just a bad way to go about it. Figure out what you need then buy all the parts. There are already DP80 monitors available just not a whole lot.

The thing is I really like my Monitor. 32' Oled 4k Monitor is just a different world and I dont really need more

Everything looks good but you could save yourself a ton by getting whatever Thermlaright has to rival that Lian Li cooler. The performance difference will probably be no more than 1-2 degrees and that CPU does not go over 120 watts so you are already ahead of the curve.

Ditch the AIO. No need. If you feel like spending a lot on a cooler, there's good air cooling options.
Get a better motherboard.
Get a single 4 TB drive with options to add another later, and not the evo.
Get a newer PSU, series 13 out.
You won't be able to run 6000 64 GB, so get slower or less RAM.
Get two of the same resolution monitor or scaling will be crap.

You should read some of the AMD focused threads. There is no problem running 6000 with 64GB installed. AGESA updates mitigated that months ago.

Straight Power 12 is newer than Dark Power 13 (slightly newer than Dark Power Pro 13 as well). They're great supplies. They were a bit overpriced at launch, but pricing has gotten considerably better.

As for ASRock motherboards, anything at least at the Riptide level is usually good. Steel Legend is similar (mid-range for them). I would not buy their low-end boards (could be said for most vendors I guess). Nova is a great bang/buck option from them, but that's up a tier from the Riptide/Steel-Legend and comes with a higher price too.

Thanks for the info. Based on the last couple of things that have been said.

I found the Thermalright Aqua Elite 360 WHITE V3 about $50 less than the Lian Li cooler.
Sorry for my naivety but, what makes a motherboard "better"? Is it faster and has newer features others are lacking? I found this one ASRock X870 Steel Legend WiFi AMD AM5 ATX Motherboard
Why is one 4TB better than two 2TB and why not the EVO for future reference? I'll go with the 990 PRO 4TB
As for scaling would it affect anything besides moving windows between monitors?

Splitting your storage across partitions or disks leads to shuffling, which is error-prone.

Also, only one of your M.2 slots is connected directly to the CPU.

Sometimes the larger capacity versions of the same SSD are faster. And an almost full SSD always has bad write speed.

Hello, Im pretty new with building a new system for Gaming and just started to look into hardware.
I would be grateful if someone can tell me, if the system Im currently thinking of is good for 4k Gaming and more importantly if it works together nicely.

Thats what I found so far. For storage, power supply and fans I dont really know what I should choose and would do some reseaeches later.

Monitor: Dell Alienware aw3225qf
Case: Lian Li 011 Vision Midi Tower
MoBo: Asus Rog Strix x870e
CPU: Ryzen 7 9800x3d
GPU: RTX5090
Ram: Corsair Vegeance 2x16 6000MHz CL28
Air Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140

For me personally 2tb of Storage should be enough and Im tending towards Samsung 990 pro.
Power supply will be most likely 1000w to 1200w but I dont know which one.
Fans should just do their job. RGB is nice to have.

Can I have a good air flow with the case ? I would have like 6 fans with air flowing in and 2 for air flowing out.

I thank you for reading and maybe helping me out ! If you have any questions or didnt understand something, feel free to ask me !

PS: Sry for any grammar mistakes. Im not a native english speaker.

You'll want that RTX5090 running at 16x and a monitor that supports DP 2.0. Get a larger single NVMe and you want it running at 16x(G5) in the M.2-1 slot. Make sure your board supports that most of them bifurcate when either the second PCIe slot is used and/or the M.2-2. You'll want a PSU that's ATX3.0 for the GPU 12HPWR connection. You can go to pcpartpicker. and plug in your parts and it will recommend a PSU wattage rating. Like this COMPUTER BUILD

Is it really that importand to have a monitor with DP2.0 ? My head is exploding right now and with further research Im starting to believe that I dont want to build a new system. I got my monitor for like 940€ and was really happy with it but now I dont know if it is okay

Don't hallucinate what I'm "trying" to say, it's very clear.

I can't put into words how much that pisses me off, coming from you. You're right in this case, but you're a hypocrite. You didn't show me the same respect of bothering to read and understand what I actually said, when I corrected a mathematical error that you made, so why should you expect anyone to do the same for you?

Was the I/O die on the 1700X different than the 2700X?

The 1700X and 2700X didn't have I/O dies. They were a monolithic architecture.
The memory controller design was not changed significantly, but there was an improvement in manufacturing process (from 14nm to 12nm), which resulted in a modest improvement to stability when using faster RAM. Meanwhile, Zen 5 Ryzen CPUs use the exact same I/O die as Zen 4 Ryzen, so the differences between them are minimal.
