Planning Out Will Smith's New Gaming PC

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Friend of the show Will Smith (twitter.com/willsmith) needs to upgrade his gaming PC to match an RTX 4090. In this video Gordon and Adam sit down with him to get a feel for what he needs ahead of doing a live build. LeleSocho: Well until he said he doesn't upgrade the cpu i would have gone for the 7950X but now i think the 13900K is the best option, also because those bunch of extra cores will help in audio editing and general multitasking. For the case i would go with a Fractal Design Torrent mid tower which offers great airflow, cool design and glass window for the rgb he likes. Mobo an Asus ROG STRIX z790 that has 16+1 power stages, all the I/O he might need even WiFii6E for the carry around needs, and also all the M.2 ports one could want now that he has the chance to get rid of spinning rust in his main machine, for ram i would go for 32GB at jedec speeds to be superstable during work with Unreal and maybe upgrade along the line when it's cheaper.

Hello from Germany again!
My suggestions:
1) RAM Timings high -> AM5. ECC and fast timings-> AM 5 (no performance hit - ECC for free with good MoBo). Easy rebuy of parts died (as he works on the machine) -> AM 5, all others will be lesser and lesser in stock. Who pushes the RTX 4090 to the limit? -> All three suspects. AM 5, i9, 5900X3D - though the later one has just eight cores. IMHO overall winner: AM 5
2) Water or Air Cooling? I suggest -> Air, Noctua NH-D15/S. It has a high enough NSPR even for Ryzen 9 7900X, which needs to be optimised anyways. Air Cooling allows fast fixing of issues if time sensible work has to be done, water cooling could be the last work if a catastrophic failure happens.
3) Use Software to change clock speeds, if OC at all. Time crtitical/stable and Max OC ; imho the modern Windows-Software can offer this via profiles. Though no OC is preferred (stability).
4) Case: Corsair Air 540 Atx Cube. He said he does not care about width, but height. This case is big enough for a 4090 as far as I saw and an additional card on the last PCIe-slot, but not so high. Very good airflow and you can build blink blink in (tempered glas). Just as an idea if he likes to change his NZXT one, no comment on this. Who needs RGB oh oh wrong topic ;-)
5) Motherboard: Asrock 670E Taichi Carrara (it is white, what a contrast to the black case) or the normal Taichi variant. Why? As AMD did the final validation of AM5 together with Asrock and the Taichi has all features plus four NVME (1xPCIE 5 NVME, 3 PCIe4), Bluetooth and 802.11 ax Wifi 6E, 2.5G LAN (he will upgrade hehe) and excellent audio.
So PCWorld, what are you and Mr. Smith sayin ?
Great show, keep it up! Cheers, Pepe

I have to get a High Frame rate Panel at least try it longer than 10 minutes at a friends house or in a store.. I want a 4K 120HZ 32 Monitor or TV with at least 600 HDR.. ??? If anyone knows of one that is Not a Bent screen.. I am on a 7 year Old 4K ACER 60Hz and games like RED Dead 2 and Resident Evil the Village/8 Look Really good but ass soon as I try to watch Content or Movie's it sucks so bad.. Because it's only 300 Nit's. The Darks look Bad. You can only do Freesync over DisplayPort and you can only do HDR over HDMI which looks terrible. So My next upgrade Really Needs to be a Monitor or TV BUT I don't want smaller than 32 or Bigger than 32 for a screen and that's a problem to find for 4K believe it or not. And what is the experience Like if you have a 144Hz monitor but your card can only push 1440p or 4K at 100 FPS or 80 FPS on certain games?? Does it look Bad or choppy??

I have been thinking lately regarding upgrades in the future. The platform longevity stuff. What if next gens aren't as great steps up as current ones? Because eventually CPU progress has to slow down, right? We will still go to the 3 nm and then slightly below that, but that's pretty much the end of it and it will be harder and more costly than ever.
So go figure. The times are changin'.
Still AM5 is probably the better option on red side. Except I wouldn't touch it until Q2 2023. Upgrade existing to 5800X3D if gaming is priority and you really have to upgrade now. Otherwise AM5 and better wait a bit. DDR5 will get faster and cheaper, more AMD CPU and MB options will be there in half a year.

AsRock B650 LiveMixer
AMD Ryzen 7950x

Until a Corsair MP700, Zadak TWSG5, Apacer AS2280F5, or Gigabyte AORUS Gen5 10000 SSD, m.2 PCI 5.0 is out.
Run Samsung 990 PRO or Samsung 980 PRO m2
Now need decide run and move the included fans x2 top and back.
Or run fan/radiator bracket): 1 x 240 top mount and add 120mm fan back.
Then in year or two can upgrade cpu xds.
Maybe better ram or m.2s.
Gaming & create on Mr Smith!

Hmm a budget wasn t mentioned so I will assume money is not a barrier. I would go DDR5 in either case to maximize the potential on the 4090. Since he mentioned fan sound being important, I lean Ryzen 7000 as I think you could get a quieter fan curve locked in with minimal perf impact. I d personally do 7900x or 7700x and wait to see what the 3D vcache brings.
reply

I think if you are starting From scratch you should go with AM5 because you will have more Options down the road.. They will do a Zen4 Vcache Model in a year and Zen 5 may even socket Into AM5 so.. I would definitely buy AM5 a Year from now AM5 will be Strong AMD parts always Age better, From their MOMBO's, GPU's to CPU's..

Something like this:
i9 13900k
32gb ddr5 6400 cl32, gskill trident z5 rgb
MSI Mag Z790 tomahawk wifi
2tb primary nvme Solidigm P44 Pro
2tb secondary nvme WD Black SN770
Arctic LF II 360
Reuse PSU (it was good, right?)
In a Lian Li Lancool II Mesh

I would wait for Ryzen 9 7900X3D its should be right around the corner and should be the best for gaming and do all the productivity he needs plus there will be upgrades down the road if he ever has another cpu fail or just wants more performance
reply

You'd think with a famous movie actor with the same name you'd mix the name up. William Smith, Willy Smith, Bill Smith, Billy Smith, Will (middle name/initial) Smith, etc. Who knows, maybe he adopted the name just to get attention for himself.
reply

He can slap a 5800x3d in his streaming system. If max gaming is his thing. I would go with a 7900 or 7950x and have him upgrade to zen4 3D when it comes out. AMD has it on the roadmap and his CUP will in fact not be soldered on the board.
reply

Will smith.... is a punk. You should make his pc pink af. It should also be engraved on the side that says Warning: Sucker Punch Area
OH... oh oh oh...nvm... didn't realize there was someone else named Will Smith....

reply

i know I'm just a single viewer here: but If I was Will and had a beast like the 4090, I would absolutely want to pair it with the upcoming 3D Vcache of the 7000 series to get the absolute most out of the 4090.
reply

A Ryzen 9 7900X on an X670 with the feature set he is needing at the lowest price. 32GB of DDR5 6000 EXPO as well. I would go with one of the new larger mid tower Be Quiet! towers for his case needs.
reply

Don't worry about the parts too much, just SLAP it together guys. Who are we kidding, we all know it's going to be a i9-13900K with 64 GB+ of expensive DDR5 ram, what else would you use.
