Decent bundle but you almost had me pull the trigger thinking it's Ryzen 9 7950X3D.

Is the improvement that much to make a difference?? Just curious.

From what I researched the 9 7950x3d is better for gaming but for content creation the 9 7950x wins Also 7950x3d uses 120w vs 50x which uses 170w, not sure if that makes a huge difference though.

I bit. Going to transfer the 850w power supply and 3070ti from my existing rig. Planning to buy a new case, new ddr5 ram, and a cooler. Can someone rec a good cooler and case? I need lots of room for drives and preferably a water cooler. Debated going with the noctuous but I'm so sick of the size of air coolers.

We have two Corsair 5000D AIRFLOW cases which has lots of room for extras.

And for any large video cards you may want to upgrade to down the road.

Would a 650w power supply be enough to power this and a 1070gpu?

I currently have an i5-10400. I don't have, mostly encode movies and TV shows

1070 is only 150w, this CPU is 170w, so I'd expect a 650 is fine.

I wasn't sure if AMD is similar to Intel where the advertised watts is based off of the base clock speed but the cost stopped used like 3x-5x the amount. I messed up one 10400 chip I think because I originally only had a 500w PSU and it crapped out after a few days.

other components in the rig would be an m.2 boot drive, 2 or 3 HDDs, a few case fans, three monitors (but that's run through the GPU so it wouldn't pull additional watts right?)

It can pull more than 170w when boosting, but AFAIK the "official" max on the AM5 socket is 230W

Seems to be reiterated here:

At 8:35 power testing from GN starts here for 7950X:

They got a bit above the socket max pounding on all cores with a heavy blender workload, but still only ~250 watts.

The 150w from the GPU should be a legit max, so even with a few fans and drives 650 should still be fine.


You'd need to upgrade if you ever threw in a higher-draw GPU though

If you were pairing that 10400 with the 1070 you mentioned earlier, the wattage of your PSU wasn't the problem. The 10400 draws even less than the CPU in this deal at max load, so a 500W PSU would have been enough for those components plus a few drives and fans. As far as I'm aware, Intel chips typically list the max wattage, just like AMD, though individual retailers may vary and they may also mention things like "power draw at idle."

Assuming you're not talking about portable monitors or something, your monitors won't pull additional watts (not because they're running through the GPU but because they're externally powered).

Oh that's what others suggested at the time. The computer was working fine for a couple nights in a row left on for like three days straight. Then I rebooted after some updates I think and it simply stopped working with some red diagnostic lights on the motherboard. A new PSU didn't work, moving ram configurations around didn't work, new motherboard with the same CPU didn't work. Eventually I did a warranty exchange on the CPU and upgraded to my current PSU which has been working ever since. I was told my super old PSU was likely not adequate for the demand of newer CPUs

Someone talk me out of buying this to install proxmox on, passing the gpu and 8 cores into a vm for gaming, and splitting up the other cores for vms for home assistant, plex, and a dedicated gaming server.
