I Built the 9800X3D “Meta” PC… On a B650 + 1 Stick DDR5

DDR5 pricing is still weird, so here’s a mid-to-high-end build that still makes sense: Ryzen 7 9800X3D + RTX 5070, on a basic B650, with a single 16GB DDR5 stick (yes, it’s not ideal but it keeps the builds moving during the shortage). I’m using LC Power for the case/cooler/PSU as they're great value in Europe especially! 🧩 Parts: • CPU Ryzen 7 9800X3D: https://amzn.to/4pSvpU5 • GPU PNY RTX 5070 (RGB / non-RGB): https://amzn.to/4bbO8X6 • Motherboard B650 (any decent budget model): https://amzn.to/49HPDK4 • RAM 16GB DDR5 (G.Skill): https://amzn.to/3LWzXL5 • SSD Kingston Fury 1TB: https://amzn.to/3YMEa79 • Cooler LC Power LC-CC-120 Digital: https://amzn.to/4bGZQJd • Case LC Power 810B: https://amzn.to/45pYA9I • PSU LC Power LC-850P: https://amzn.to/45RvoIK • Endorfy Fluctus fans: https://amzn.to/45mJDFm 0:00 The goal (max FPS during DDR5 shortage) 0:40 Core parts: 9800X3D + B650 + 1×16GB DDR5 1:25 Storage tip (Gen4 SSD + used/AE options) 1:55 Full LC Power setup (cooler + case + PSU) 3:20 Fans + airflow setup 4:05 RTX 5070 choice (PNY) 4:45 Benchmarks + temps (CPU-Z / Fire Strike) 5:40 Undervolt gains (cooler + faster) 6:10 Real target: 1080p/1440p high refresh 6:32 Outro 📷 Follow me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imwateringpsus Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/imwateringpsus ⚙️ Gear & Recommendations: Thermal Paste I use: https://amzn.to/4l646mG Electric screwdriver for PC building: https://amzn.to/3IRfndi Mini Air Duster for PC cleaning: https://amzn.to/4l12fzx Deskmat: https://deskmat.io/imwateringpsus DISCLOSURE: Some links are affiliate links, I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you.
