Hi fellows overclockers!

Long time not around. Life's been ectic, Gabon, DRC...

Hope everyone is fine.

Back in Europe for a while and planning for a new rig.

TBH, it seems that overclocking is not what it used to be anymore.
RIP the 50% extra clock on my old 2600K or 5820k😂

So, willing to build a multi purpose mid end rig.

VR and 1440p gaming (racing sims, FPS and BG3), HTPC and a bit of prod (little bit).

Will build it in a couple of weeks.

Was thinking of the following components:

Ryzen 7700
Asrock B650M pro Wifi
GSkill ripjaw S5 6000 cas30 2x16GB
Crucial P5 plus 1TB pcie4.0
Lian Li Lancool 215 mid tower
Gigabyte UD750GM 750W 80+ gold fully modular

GPU... Mmmm... 7800XT or 6950XT

What you think?

Thanks lads!
 
I would change the list a bit:
- 7800X3D CPU, as it's simply faster in games
- different brand PSU like Corsair, EVGA or anything based on higher Seasonic series, maybe Deepcool PX850G or something similar with a 10-year warranty; for some reason I don't trust Gigabyte PSUs (maybe I'm wrong)
- different SSD, Crucial P5 Plus is fine, but it runs hot and is slower than many competitive SSD nowadays; even new Maxio-based SSD (DRAM-less) are faster, slightly cheaper, and run at much lower temps (Teamgroup MP44, Patriot VP4300 Lite, Predator GM7, and some more)
- if you can get ASUS motherboard at about the same price then it will be a better choice because of better BIOS support, but probably it doesn't matter
- I would get a new graphics card series, just because drivers and various updates will be available for longer; other than that, a post above describes it well
 
Thank you guys.

Good advice!

Might go with a 7900xt. And will check SSD's and PSU.

CPU, well, will upgrade next year. The 7700 will do for now.
 
Just for comparison from my last tests; Patriot SSD is the DRAM-less one.
All results are on the same test rig with 7950X+X670E.

Crucial P5 Plus with heatsink (no throttling, but it's expected without additional cooling)

ADATA S70 Blade - no throttling, but it's expected under extended high load

Patriot VP4300 Lite - no throttling at all, temps below 50°C under load
