New Raptor Lake Gaming Rig Advice

[Peter Browne]

Drawing up specs for a new gaming rig. Suggestions very welcome, in particular the cooler and the case. This is about a AU$9000 rig.

• Intel Core i9 13900K Raptor Lake 24 Core 32 Thread Up 5.8Ghz LGA1700 CPU
• ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO LGA1700 ATX Motherboard
• Noctua D15 Chromax Black CPU Cooler
• Corsair Vengeance DDR5 C36 5600MHz 64MB RAM
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU
• 2 x Samsung 980 Pro Series Gen4 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD
• 2 x Seagate BarraCuda 3.5" 8TB 5400RPM HDD
• EVGA SuperNOVA T2 1600W 80PLUS Titanium PSU
• ATX Full Tower Case ?? Full airflow.

I know the CPU and GPU aren't yet in Oz. Build date probably later this year.
