Hi so my gaming laptop just died ( water damage ). Usualy i would be looking for a universal laptop but finally i finished university so i likely wont need laptop any more . So right now im looking to dab into proper PC finally. And im looking for help to build a pc. Im mostly decided on the cpu front 7800x3d most likely and im looking for somewhat decent gpu for 1080p ,maybe 1440p gaming( if you are wondering why such a strong mismatch between gpu and cpu dosent bither me , i mostly play Europa universalis 4 , stellaris and other strategy games so extremly fast cpu is a priority , and apparently eu4 benefits quite a lot from 3d vcache . GPU meanwhile, if it can play total war warhammer 3 on max details its good enough ) . It can be either radeon or nvidia( i like to dabble as a hobby in ai models so nvidia would be cool ,but on the other hand i ran linux and nvidia is a pain in the ass on linux ,also i can manage without cuda cores somehow). Frankly speaking im just looking for the most decent price to performance indicator. Also what should i know about motherboards are there any important things or should i just look out for the chepeast possible one for that cpu .

Other than that cables. Do i need any additional cables or would they come with cpu power supply etc....?

Take a look at the Builder on https://pcpartpicker.com for picking out parts, it will help you to find compatible pieces. With your choice of CPU (7800X3D is an awesome pick) I'd say look at the B650 Chipset (B650E for more future-proof) motherboards unless you really need a lot of PCIe lanes and probably look at the $200 price point if you want an inexpensive but not cheap motherboard (Asrock is my brand of choice).

As for video card, it'll depend on your budget. For those titles at 1080p you could probably do a Nvidia 3060 12GB or AMD 6600XT, but if you want 1440p and have a bit more budget room you could look at the Nvidia 4070 or AMD 7800XT.

And don't forgot a CPU cooler! Noctua NH-D15 is a great pick for the 7800X3D.

Dosent cpu come with cooler?

[–] ninjan@lemmy.mildgrim.com 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Often yeah, if it's called "boxed" it's with a cooler, "tray" is without.

But the stock cooler runs hot and loud so I second the recommendation to replace it. NH-D15 is what I have but still wouldn't recommend it for you because it's expensive and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 / Arctic Freezer 34 is good enough for gaming and much cheaper. Really any tower cooler of decent size is decent enough so price is the most important aspect imo.

I run a nh-d15 on a 5800x. It's expensive, but I have to say at least on the 5800x it can cool the CPU so well that it never gets loud. At most I get a slight noise of air moving.
