I’m half-way through buying all of my parts.

Pretend that my selected graphics card is the Lisuan G100. Because fuck AMD and NVIDIA.

My usecases are playing around with DaVinci Resolve and GIMP, small-time Godot game dev’ing, playing indie games, self-hosting (e.g. a Jellyfin instance for my movie/tv show for my LAN streaming needs) and just general browsing lol. I don’t intend to overclock, so 600-650W seems fairly plenty.

I had previously struggled with H.265 video formats, my previous setup with the i5 4670k and NVIDIA 750ti were barely keeping up with anything new, never mind newer standards (somehow runs Ghostrunner 2 @ 1080p 40fps in most terrains!). They held their weight pretty nicely over the years though.

    Built in 2019, with some upgrades here and there:

    MOBO: Asus X570-E Gaming WiFi CPU: RYZEN 5800X3d GPU: Radeon 6700XT OS Drive: 2 TB WD NVME Power Supply: Corsair 1000W

    Looking at your list I’d consider a couple of things:

    1. do some research on the Motherboard. I have a vague recollection of ASRock having problems lately. Not sure what models or anything.

    2. consider a fully modular power supply if you’re at all concerned about clutter inside your case. You might also look up the recommended PSU wattage for that GPU. I don’t know much about the Lisuan specifically, but a lot of them recommend at least 750W.

      Thanks for the tips. I’ve read recommendations of the ASRock B650 instead of the board I opted for, which costs only slightly more. AFAIK the only downsides to the A620M are no support for PBO + Curve Optimizer and no RGB headers. Those don’t matter to me at all, since I don’t intend to overclock and have no need to make my PC look fancy, I look at the screen most of the time, and not what’s under the table :)… That said, I admit that the 7600X probably may have been a tiny bit overkill pairing with the board, but w/e, I like to live on the edge.

      I opted for that Corsair PSU because I found a good deal and the fact that cable management (unless in areas where necessary) was and isn’t really a priority, so Fully or Semi modular it was. Other than that, no forethought was put into it.

      EDIT:

      Oh right forgot to mention that PcPartPicker’s estimated wattage also guided my PSU purchase, the total estimate was at 530W, so I just multiplied it by 1.25. I’m currently second-guessing my PSU choice now…

        I did a little digging and it looks like the problems were limited to ASRock motherboards paired with Ryzen 9000 series chips, and they claim they fixed it with a BIOS update. And yeah, if you’re not overly concerned with cable management then a semi-modular will do the job and cost less.
