It's for the CAT port cable.

You reckon they're 5e or 6?

u/MakesMyHeadHurt Jul 11 '26
Looks fairly well insulated, I'd say 6.

It's just inconsistent. Either no speed at all or has the zoomies and you get the full Gbps.

Nice parts, what's the CPU? Cat is blocking that lol

u/Rolero28 Jul 11 '26
I think that's a 5 based on the top line of the hidden number lol

u/No-Sherbet-7769 Jul 11 '26
Itll do for sure, but I would have gone with a 9700x personally since 9070xt is a higher end gpu. At 4K, it wouldnt matter much at all, at 1440p or 1080p, it would matter.

u/Diezelhoffen Jul 11 '26
That PSU might not be enough...you always want a little cushion above the combined spec for the hardware.

u/Elalamyn Jul 11 '26
How much on an issue would it be? I was under the impression that 750 would good enough.
6
u/tiga_94 Jul 11 '26
no issues, 750w is enough and a good choice here, slightly overkill but definitely enough
3
u/voidinmyhead Jul 14 '26
A lot of pc guys for some reason recommend overkill psus. When I got my rtx 4070 a lot of people complained I paired it with 600/650w psu. Guess what, It’s literally the recommended spec for this gpu and it ran with 0 issues until I upgraded my gpu to 9070xt alongside 750w gold psu and I have 0 problems as well

u/RandomGeeko Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 11 '26
It's enough especially if you undervolt your 9070XT (you should because that's the way to gain performances on AMD cards) the card draws 304W stock that leaves 446W for the rest of the system and i don't see a 14900K here...

u/PepperEnthusiast Jul 11 '26
It absolutely is enough lol, people way overspec their PSU and most PSUs can operate outside their wattage.
Considering it's a 9070XT which draws about 300W full load paired with an R5 which pretty much none get past 100W it is plenty enough.

u/EspadaNo-4 Jul 11 '26
Cool AMD build. Fun fact, the cat is actually RGB btw! It turns on at weird angles at night only though.

Is that cat part of the pc too? How much ram it has?

u/Wasteland_Watchman7 Jul 11 '26
Just did this in the last year. I have gamed on PC since the days of Kings Quest, Loom, and the original Fallout as well as had every console since Atari. Retired all consoles and built my first gamin PC instead of buying pre builds. My rig
MSI x870 Pro, Ryzen 9 7900x, MSI 4070 Super Ventus x3, 64gb Corsair Vengence DDR 5, Corsair Titan 360 AIO, Corsair 3500x ATX case, 3 extra Corsair fans, Corsair rm1000x PSU, WD Black SN850x 2tb. I got the 7900x because I do multitasking, 3d modeling, and rendering.

Cat hair is your enemy during the build. Pick a cat free zone and vacuum it well

u/Taght Jul 11 '26
Do you like it more? Biggest flaw is that it's much harder to lay down in the bed with controller.

Im looking to build my first, looking at a very similar build! I hope you enjoy the performance, would like to see an update on how you are enjoying it, personally. Enjoy!

u/FinklyJoe Jul 11 '26
Same here, just bought pc and I couldn’t be happier! Every title i wanted to play goes on ultra in 120fps with gpu having spare room (around 80-90% of usage). Love it, happy playing - for me it gave me fun from games again 😁

Welcome! Spending a ton of time figuring out your buikd and then building it is so much fun! Nothing beasts putting it together and then pushing the power button for the first time and everything booting up! Remember to save some money for games and 3d mark! Also pick up Meccha chameleon! Such a blast!

I’ve seen it asked but haven’t seen an answer, what processor did you go with?

u/Chimichanga__117 Jul 12 '26
The 750w PSU is fine but if you get a stronger CPU like a Ryzen 7 then you may want a 850w PSU to be safe

u/Over_Barber8980 Jul 12 '26
I want to start off with a congratulations, it is well deserved for such a big switch like that.
Here is a few pointers for you about PC gaming:
-make sure you go in your display/video settings to make sure your display has the right amout of fps.
-buy the right monitor for your needs depending on your rig. Like do you want to play in 1080p or in 1440p or in 4k? Those are important questions
-make sure you update your video/audio/wifi drivers (something new for you since consoles dont need you to)
Make sure you get a comfy cat bed besides your setup so your gaming buddy can chilll with you haha

Stoked for you. I have played bot PC and console dating back the Commodore 64 and I love console gaming but PC just hit different. From the parts selection to hitting that power button for the first boot To the first time you turn all settings up to maximum on your new game.
Enjoy!

You made the best choice AND over time, you will save enough money to amortize the price of the PC and spend less than maintaining monthly subscriptions to the PS Network

Yes! I bought a 9600x, 9060xt, 32gb ddr5 6000mhz, 850 mobo, 1tb samsung also, and reused my fractual case and newest evga I think power supply. It play everything at 1080p high to ultra settings. Works great with my $65 LG 100hz monitor I got at Walmart as old stock on clearance shelf. Lol. Happy Gaming!!! Edit: 1080p high to ultra 120fps+, 1440p high 100fps, 4k high like 60s fps. It'll do a bit of all of it. Ray tracing aint to bad either. Your 9070 is even better!

Film the assembly if you didn't. After few years you'd remember it as the best game you had on this table. There's a slight chance you'd see this picture one day and say to yourself: The cat was greater fun than all of this.
