Its time to get rid of my 8700K and unleash the 7900XT proper! 7800X3D time.
Im looking for the best board and RAM to pair with this cpu and frankly Im a bit lost in the woods.
Im sold on this case though, the smaller size and build options here are pretty awesome.. lots of power in a small enclosure and it seems my 330mm length GPU and ye olde Supernova G2 PSU is going to fit just fine alongside (possibly) the old Dark Rock Pro 3. Or do I need something better for these newer CPUs? Its going to be air though.

Key points for board choice;
- Good audio chip. How OK is the ALC897 vs the ALC1200? I also want an optical out.
- How big do I need to go VRM wise?
- What RAM pairs well at 6000MT/s. Currently eyeing this set
tweakers.net
- Solid storage capabilities though those seem pretty similar across most boards in the sub 200 EUR range.
- Im also considering to put a Honeywell PTM thermal pad on this CPU instead of paste. Also, any other do's or donts? Enlighten me![Smile :) :)](https://tpucdn.com/forums/data/assets/smilies/smile-v1.gif)
Ive been partial to the Asrock Riptide, all good experiences with the brand so far and it looks competitive... just no ALC1200 but ALC897 on it. Pref not a Gigabyte board (the options seem subpar too, but feel free to convince me otherwise
If its a great value option Im game.
