I have enough money saved up to get myself a powerful desktop but I know nothing about desktops as I only had laptops I'm looking at getting
9950x3d
Either a 5090 or 4090
I don't know anything about motherboards
Samsung 990s
2x48gb ram
Artic liquid freezer 3
Some noctua fans

I still need help on chosing a motherboard, a case and a psu

switch aio to high end air cooler
aio's all die after many years due to pump failure and its a pain in the ass having to replace a component instead of it just werking forever
>>
>>106445089
What high end air cooler would you recommend?
>>
>>106445141
depends where youre from, deepcool was banned in usa
if youre going for budget then phantom spirit but i recommend going for noctua instead, because you get free fan clips for future fans https://noctua.at/en/support/fan-mounting-clips
as well as mounting brackets for future motherboards, the coolers themselves last up a long time, lots of people still using the nh d14 from 15 years ago

as for which cooler, i guess the d15 g2, but if you prefer all black color you can go with the nh d15 which is slightly worse

id recommend replacing your ssds for western digital (sn850x or sn8100)
for motherboard go with ASRock Phantom Gaming X870 Riptide WiFi
for psu any atx 3.1 psu by seasonic
for case check out cases by fractal design, like the meshify 2 and north
>>
>>106445241
Is the x870 phantom gaming going to do well for stuff outside of gaming, such as video and photo editing, music production, streaming, etc, I would like for my pc to be able to handle everything I can throw at it. As I said earlier this would be the first desktop I've ever had so I'm new to Pc building and retarded at it.

if 4-5k $ for you means saving up money maybe you are poor as shit
and should keep saving that money and focus on your skills/career/business/health
will you at least be earning money doing graphic design and editing youtube slop for "content creators"?
>>
>>106445837
I've got more than 4-5k saved up and yes I'll be making money doing graphic design as well as ux. the other stuff is more so hobbies and skills I'd like to improve on and I'm tired of using laptops and figured since I'm going to get a desktop I want it to be powerful enough to handle anything I can throw at it.

>1 ux per like 20 devs
>has to draw rectangles all day in figma.com on an underpowered, company issued windows 11 laptop
>earns less than any of those 20 devs

learn to cood too ( https://roadmap.sh/ ), just in case, if you are going to spend most of your life in front of a computer anyway
>>
>>106445089
when does this ever happen? 6 years and still going strong
>>
>>106448352
I still have a magahalems tower cooler from my core 2 duo from 2007 on my amd x6 1090t. AIO is for troons.
OP buy a noctua tower style once and keep it for life. They will mail you any future mounting kits for free including postage worldwide.
