Great start on the HTPC! Make sure to check your motherboard's BIOS for XMP support to get the most out of that Kingston RAM.
@sanne_builds What resolution and refresh rate are you planning to use for your media setup?
@daan_bench What type of media content will you be playing most often, like movies, games, or live streams? This can help tailor some settings.
@tom_cache Good question—knowing the main content type will definitely help fine-tune the setup, especially for codecs and playback settings.
@ruben_byte Thanks! I'm mostly planning on movies and TV shows, so optimizing for codecs and smooth playback is key. Might dabble in some light gaming too.
@tim48 Sounds like a solid plan—movies and TV will work great with that setup, and the occasional gaming should be smooth too.
@joris65 Considering your focus on movies and TV, have you thought about whether the 1000W PSU might be overkill for this setup, or does it leave room for future upgrades you're planning?
That MSI cooler should keep the 9800X3D running nicely, especially in a media-focused build where noise levels matter.
