I have gathered the pieces for my new gaming rig.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X - 3.4 GHz Processor - 16 cores
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING - DDR4
RAM: Team Group ZEUS - 64GB: 2x32GB DDR4 RAM 3200MHz
GPU: Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 7900 XTX Grafikkort - 24GB GDDR6
SSD: Samsung 990 PRO Heatsink - 2TB SSD NVMe
Anything I should change?
I'm not entirely sure, but weren't there some Problems with the Samsung 990 PRO's in the Past with ... how was this called ... premature wear from Writing Processes?
And I heard bad Stories about the ASUS Support. It seems that there were not very ... Customer orientated. But that would only be important if You would have a Support Issue.
Why not a 7000 series? With the 9000s being out, I've seen some discounts on the 7000s that seemed pretty good. Albeit you have to go ddr5 at that point, but that price difference isn't that large anymore
I got Samsung SSD and it it's marvelousm despite my heavy distro-jumping past. 
I got money to burn. 
Yeah personally I would go 7000 am5, if nothing else you'll get longer socket support , and just talking anecdotally my 7800x3d has had 0 issues on any distro I've tried. I know that's a sample size of 1, but I've also read online 7000 seems ridiculously stable
That got fixed with a firmware update +/- 2 years ago. The newer ones already ships with the latest firmware versions. I am running 2x 4TB Samsung 990 pro’s WITHOUT heatsink and they perform incredibly well. @Storm good choice 
The wear increases alot if people didnt had the latest firmware. This does not mean if people did not update that the ssd dies when the wear lvl reaches 0
But on AM5 would be the Point: Mainboard Prices. You can find cheaper one's, yes. But when they don't have what You are looking for ...
@Storm: Because it is not listed: Do You use Your old Case, Power Supply, Cooler and Fans?
Nope, I get new ones.
Very nice setup combo pc. It will be nice put some photos how it looks. Congrats!
I just need to hit the order button and two days delivery. But I'm going ordering it next week as I'm not home this week.
Well. I have my setup last year collected.
I am happy and it working great.
I wish you all good with your parts.
I hope you taken research.
Besides the price soon be up because Santa Claus on the way.
I'm using a 7950X3D myself and love the thing. I'm stuck with Nvidia because AMD never caught up on ray tracing performance and AMD is giving up on high end GPUs for the foreseeable future, but after having only one AMD CPU prior to this one, I just really don't see the need to go back to Intel.
Can I ask which one's?
Very nice @Storm , I think you selected some nice parts! I can't wait to see this computer.
I remember Gamer's Nexus talking about this, as well as 3DGameMan. I honestly think its pretty stupid to just let Nvidia dominate and control the GPU market, essentially letting them get away with a monopoly.
And before you mention Intel, Intel ARK GPU's are nowhere near performing as good as a high end Nvidia GPU, so they are no competition whatsoever. The Intel Ark GPU's have been barely better then an integrated UHD 660M GPU.
And has said that before , not that long ago either, with their 5700xt as that was their highest model (and the one I had before my 7900xtx). Ray tracing could definitely be better, but for me the games I play would still require so much to have it, they still look fantastic without it, so for now I don't worry at all. For instance I'm playing cyberpunk 2077, and yeah Ray tracing looks better, but mostly just from reflections , and only if in the traditional way they wouldn't be reflected (screen space).
Yeah, no need to worry about me mentioning Intel as competition. They're a joke. I've always favored Nvidia for their higher performance (with one big exception; IIRC it was the Nvidia 500s, many years ago, were worse than the ATI 9800), but I agree that I don't like having only one major player. THAT SAID, that's only in desktops. AMD is still the one going in consoles. PS5 Pro's GPU is still AMD.
Honestly, Cyberpunk 2077 and Alan Wake 2 are still the only games that really show off ray tracing adequately. That said, I honestly do find the path tracing option in Cyberpunk 2077 worthwhile. Top end graphics features drive my GPU purchasing decisions. I also run at 4k, and most people still game at 1080 as of August, with 2k a distant second. 4k on Steam constitutes only about 4% of users. The performance hit on 4k is huge, so between path tracing and 4k... yeah, my use case actually calls for a 4090. Most people would probably be just fine with AMD's cards.
Good to know that your tires properly meet the asphalt, now I know I can count on you to always make sense lol. We both agree about Intel, they are under-performing for high end gaming, as well as production workloads.
I bought my computer back in 2021, its an MSI GE-76 Raider notebook.
I personally utilize 4K, as I have a 4K screen, so it was important for me to get a high end machine, in order to drive that resolution in games. You do make a solid point though, that 4K seriously is a performance hit, which is why you need a high end GPU.
You also need a high end GPU to drive ray tracing as you mentioned. And yep, Cyberpunk is generally used as todays benchmark for ray tracing performance, and overall GPU performance in games. If your a gamer, or do production workloads, either go big or go home.
I'm so excited to see Storms new computer. 
I have rx 6600 and it gived me max 1080p 60Hz but if i get higher with resolution 2K and 144Hz then it can be hotter and eating more power. I hope the gpu what you have don't have problem with sensors and amd what i know the fans start about 70 degrees. Propably you can change that temperature with some script.
That what are my observation @Storm
Looks like a good choice Storm ...... if you like it that is all that matters ..... when I built my last rig some 10 years ago I learned no matter what I choose or did with in 3 month some component was out dated by something new .....
As to Asus's support I have a 5 year old 17 in gaming laptop that I run a minimum of 9 hours a day 7 days a week and the few times like maybe 3 times in 5+ years I needed to ask them anything I always got a response with in 2 days ..... the only thing I had go out on me was the Bluetooth/WiFi card and I just bought a USB dongle to replace it ......
Enjoy your new toy .... you deserve it ....
