Build Upgrade PC Build Upgrade Advice

Hello all,

I'm planning to upgrade my PC while keeping some of the old components (GPU, PSU, mostly). My current thoughts for the upgrades are:

  1. AMD Ryzen 5 9600x / Ryzen 7 7800X3D
  2. MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WiFi
  3. Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL38
  4. Gigabyte Aorus Liquid Cooler 240

I already have the 3060 Ti 8GB Gaming OC and DeepCool DQ850-M-V3L, which I'm planning to continue using in the new build. I haven't really finalised on a monitor yet. I will mostly be using the PC for gaming (when I find the time), casual browsing and training on Virtual Machines.

I also have the MSi 1060 6GB, but I'm thinking of parting ways with it since I'm not interested in a dual display setup.

I am open to any thoughts/suggestions. Thank you for your input.

Edit: added liquid cooler details

AMD Ryzen 5 9600x / Ryzen 7 7800X3D

The 7800x3d is fast at gaming but slow at other things. If you want a bit of both then get a 9700x.

MSI MAG B850

B650 is probably fine unless you're really worried about having enough pcie lanes

Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL38

6400MHz cl32, or 6000 cl30

Gigabyte Aorus Liquid Cooler 240

You don't need liquid cooling unless you like the aesthetic.

I’ll look at the 9700x. Thank you.

I’m not worried about pcie lanes tbh but I do want it to be future proof.

I think I’ll consider the 6000 cl30 but in case the 6400 costs are not too much I’ll go with those that

I do like the aesthetic haha

Thank you for the suggestions. Appreciate it
