    ladal1 got a reaction from boggy77 in Work from home PC for relative   
    I wouldn't go under gold, probably 500W and I guess B550 that I'll decide when he asks for the build when he gets to buying and building it...
    Thanks for the help

    Yup, but what really convinced me was the almost silent pump, because most of the other components shut off their fans when they don't need them - I would very much like a quiet build because the computer is in my bedroom and sometimes i need to have things run overnight

    Hey guys, I am posting once again, I was pushing my build back since october, but finally have to get to it. I sort of forced myself into it intentionally by getting a good looking drop on massdrop (graphics + motherboard) which has helped me give a little bit more to the other parts, so... here I go again:

    CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor  ($339.00 @ Amazon) 
    CPU Cooler: NZXT - Kraken X62 Liquid CPU Cooler  (Purchased For $147.32) 
    Motherboard: Gigabyte - Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming (rev. 1.0) ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  (Purchased For $150.00) 
    Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory  ($205.99 @ Amazon) 
    Storage: Samsung - 960 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive  ($199.99 @ B&H) 
    Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($59.79 @ OutletPC) 
    Video Card: Gigabyte - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB WINDFORCE OC 8G Video Card  (Purchased For $660.00)

    Monitor: Dell - S2716DG 27.0" 2560x1440 144Hz Monitor  ($478.90 @ Amazon) 
     
    This should have everything I need, I will be using a second monitor (1080p) with the one I am buying here. I am a bit constrained with what is available here, so I will see how it goes.
     
    P.S. Already have the cooler bought - got it cheap off friend who later went with air cooling

    960 EVO is 70$ more here, which I really don't think is reasonable to spend...

    I think I can squeeze 1700 inside and since I plan overclocking anyway I don't think I will lose even single core performance...

    ladal1 got a reaction from Shiv78 in Finally saved up for my own PC   
    Okay, I took the Shiv78 build and tried to fit it to what I can get here, and I think I will go with it,
     
    changed the MB to MSI Tomahawk arctic AM4
    Went with the M.2 I had in my previous because there is not one better priced to get.
     
    otherwise its all Shiv78 posted
     
    Thanks for all the help guys, this is exactly why I posted, I have no Ryzen experience and while my previous rig is running AMD I still thought Intel might be better choice, so thanks for correcting
