Any issues with this build?
Hello, long time lurker (well, I did browse threads here in the past), first time poster.
After about 8 years, my current PC is on its last legs, and it's finally time to invest into a whole new rig. After spending an ungodly amount of time reading reviews and watching videos, comparing pretty much everything, I've finally put together a system which looks good to me, at least on paper.
I have never built a PC myself, but I always hand-picked everything that ends up in the case, and fully trusted my tech guy's expertise when it came to there being anything wrong. Unfortunately, both shops he worked at in the past have closed, and I have no idea where he is at nowadays. So here I am...
Now, what I want to know is if there are any potential issues, those being either physical (clearances) or compatibility-wise. I am NOT looking for alternatives, supposedly "better choices", etc. I picked all the things for a reason.
So here's the list:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-14700KF
- CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black
- Thermal: Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet 38x38mm
- Mobo: MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX LGA1700 (DDR5 version, obviously)
- RAM: TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6000 CL34
- Storage: a) Crucial P5 Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME (OS drive)
b) Crucial P3 Plus 4 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME (Games drive)
c) Crucial MX500 1 TB 2.5" (Downloads and archives-related drive)
d) 2x Seagate Exos X14 12 TB 3.5" 7200 RPM (Cat pics... lots of cat pics...)- GPU: MSI SUPRIM X GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER
- Case: be quiet! Shadow Base 800 DX
a) Case fans: 2 extra be quiet! Pure Wings 3 72.2 CFM 140 mm Fan (for a total of 5)- PSU: SeaSonic VERTEX GX-1000 1000 W 80+ Gold
Regarding the case fans: In my mind, there are 3 front intake fans, and 1 top and 1 rear exhaust fans. I am not a fan of water-cooling, be it custom or AIO, so this concept should be good as I want a more positive pressure to keep the dust out.
I know this is pretty much overkill for most current applications and games, but like I said, I have my reasons. My main concerns are cooling, silence and longevity, not overclocking potential, RGB, looks or anything like that. I want to put the case down, hook up all the cables, and not have to think about it for the foreseeable future.
My current PC has a 980 Ti STRIX, which still handled most modern games just fine, and apart from a couple of HDDs and the middle fan on the GPU, nothing failed. If the PC with the parts listed up above lasts 6+ years without any major issues, I'll be more than happy, and by then I'll be too old for an enthusiast gaming build anyway. Or we'll all be dead considering the current worldly issues...
AFAIK, clearances shouldn't be an issue at all when it comes to GPU length, RAM and cooler, cable managment, etc.. GPU and motherboard both being MSI should make them happy as well. Is there anything I've overlooked?
