Feedback Request: Parts List for Gaming Workstation Build
Hi all. My current rig is more than a decade old, and I'm planning a replacement build. Since that rig was the last time I built a PC, (excluding the new GPU I put in a few years ago,) I'd appreciate your expert opinions. Here are the parts I'm considering. Please take a look.
I'll be using it for gaming, varied engineering, and some light hosting. I've read that the 7950X runs pretty hot, and I was thinking air cooling might not be enough to get the most out of this chip in terms of performance and lifespan. I've never used an AIO before so let me know if I've overlooked anything. I chose a PSU with lots of headroom for efficiency, integrity, longevity, etc. I've read suggestions anywhere from just +100 watts of headroom up to outright doubling the expected load. I went with an extra 50% because it seemed like a happy medium. I plan to use the motherboard's RAID 0 for the SSDs. (Don't worry, I have a backup service.) Will that work ok to dual-boot Windows and Ubuntu?
Do you see any bottlenecks, excesses, or incompatibilities? Are there any accessories, fans, hardware, etc that I need to add to my shopping list? Thanks!
