New RTX 5090 + 9800X3D build: ASUS TUF GAMING X670E-PLUS WIFI a good choice?

[erek]

the X870E chipset didn't seem to be much of an upgrade so i opted for the X670E chipset and went with the ASUS TUF Gaming mobo

do you think i'll be okay with a 2x24GB DDR5 + RTX 5090 + 9800X3D setup for the long haul?

As long as it has all the connectivity you need then sure. When it comes to motherboards everyone's use case is different, if you don't think anything else offers you features you might need then it's a fine board.

I wanted dual 5.0 nvme and wifi 7 so it really limited my options.

Personally I really like the X870E nova from asrock if I was buying a board today but that's a lot for than the Tuf.

Super high end GPU, super high end CPU, budget last-gen mobo

I mean, it's gonna work, but idk if that's what i'd personally do

all i care about is performance

To be fair the difference between X670/X870 is very minimal and in some cases I'd rather have the X670.

This is what I understand.. as long as the motherboard doesn’t hold back the GPU and CPU I’m happy

Have to wonder how many will regret selling off a 4090 prematurely. 4xxx was not enthralling to start with.

what exactly do i gain with even with a 1000 dollar motherboard except of feeling stupid?

The x670e tuf is a very good motherboard with military grade component. It won't hold back performance at all. Its midrange, not entry level.

The main difference between entry/midrange and enthusiast class of motherboards are features...but performance wise, you'll be more than fine with any midrange motherboard.

Even a B650E board would not change performance the only thing a board might not be good at is default timings of the ram but that will at most drop performance by 5% in cpu limited scenarios. The problem is that can even change bios to bios on the same board. Most X670E boards I've had to tighten the timings a bit to get the most out of them. Asrock boards in my experience offer the best boot times if that matters not sure about X870 though, I doubt I will work with any of those any time soon.

do i have enough PCIe lanes to support the 5090 GPU and also a single PCIe 5.x NVMe M.2 drive too without constraining each other?

The best thing to do is sell it off for 80% value before the next gen comes. It's like leasing a top GPU.

I'm not telling the dude to go and buy a X870E Godlike, you know. But at least something that has a q-code reader, higher quality PCB, and higher priority BIOS support - after all, it is a high-performance machine.

Yeah, I got a feeling i'm gonna be flipping my 4080 soon. I'll pick something up to tide me over until the 50 series arrives, but I'm probably gonna sell it soon.

This hasn't been true at least since the Intel Z170 generation. By the Z97, the TUF boards were already shedding the high-quality components, steel plating etc. as "optional", making the Sabertooth Z87 pretty much the last board to ever have been built to that standard. It's 11 years old already. It's just the ASUS midrange. That's all it is nowadays.

We have similar spec currently , I have no need to upgrade at all.

"Zen5 performs best at 8000mhz ram. " -- this is what i'm being told, should i opt for a better mobo like this?

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813119681

I'm thinking of pairing 6000 / CL30 ram with this board, i'm hearing that's the best bang for the buck / easiest path for the most performance?

Someone told you wrong

for the long haul?

Nope, if you need to upgrade from 2yr old 2000+ EUR graphics card, you're going to do it every time in the future as well.

Feeling pretty good about this new build design,

CPU: AMD 9800X3D
MOBO: ASUS TUF Gaming X670E Plus WiFi
RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MT/s CL30-38-38-96 1.35V Desktop Computer Memory UDIMM - Matte Black (F5-6000J3038F16GX2-TZ5NR)

Just need to determine storage.. a single 4+TB NVMe M.2

Right on , my 4090 ,Asus X570 Dark Hero , 5950X and RAM is a big investment $3348 plus $276 in tax , purchase new MSRP ,I game at 4K , current games I play , have a wonderful experience , RT

NONESSENTIAL !​

i've selected the WD_BLACK SN850X NVMe™ SSD - 8TB .. $650 USD

Great pick, man. It's a solid Gen 4 drive.

I'm doing 4K gaming.. did I make a mistake doing this entire new base build and shoulda just replaced the GPU in my current rig when the RTX 5090 comes out ??

Depends on the games you play in a lot of games I play the 7950X3D was a large increase over the 5950X so it just depends even at 4k.... at 1440p it's 20-30% sometimes more.

 

[Dr. Dro]

The 9800X3D will definitely be way faster than the 5950X. I upgraded from it to the 13900KS and it was already massive. I think it's worth the leap.
