    A Pocophone F1 would do the trick. It's cheap, and has a Snapdragon 845 SoC which is the 2nd best SoC for gaming right now.

    I might have to agree. They are pretty nice looking and it would fit the rest of the build which at the moment seems to be almost entirely Corsair.

    Build will technically "work" and do well with gaming, but. There's a few yellow flags I'd like to point out.
     
    1.) The Z370 Motherboard will be wasted if you're using a locked CPU such as the i5-8400. You can either get a less expensive motherboard, or a K-series Intel Chip.
     
    2.) The Corsair VS650 is a low quality PSU. If you can shows us your PSU options, then the community will be able to recommend what's best.
     
    3.) A 120mm AIO such as the H60 is not the most ideal in most instances. For an i5-8400, you can save your money and use the stock cooler instead. For an overclockable chip, you are better off getting a 240mm or larger AIO instead or a good value tower style cooler. 
     
    H270 will not work with an 8th Gen Intel CPU. You may choose between H310, B360, H370, or Z370 motherboards for it to work with 8th Gen Intel CPU.

    Good sources, but. This is not even applicable to the build I sent. These are Raven Ridge CPUs tested on manually configured voltages. As I've said, you can't even manually configure the voltage on Gigabyte - GA-AX370M. Offsets are as far as the BIOS allows.
    "It's a personal preference to get modularity and extra 50w"
    The CWT made CX450 is good, but not the GW. The GW fails in transient response and has a hazardous 190c OTP. Even higher than EVGA G3's scary 180c. It's not worth taking a risk on such an important component.

    Here's a pretty modest system build. I chose the 8086k because it's only ~$50 more expensive than the 8700k and it's basically a binned chip. 100% chance of hitting 5GHz all core at reasonable voltage.

    forregacc02 got a reaction from FunkmastaFlex in What do people hate about Apple?   
    I'm a PC builder who has built a lot of PCs for various uses. I'm no Apple Fanboy for sure, I have a slight hate for Apple even, but I currently use their products. My daily driver is a 2015 MBA 11 and an iPhone SE. I got both of them last year for around $900 New. There are a lot of things I hate about Apple, and there is very few I like.
     
    Why I hate Apple.
    1.) I can't download anything using Safari on my phone.
    2.) I can't even save a simple PDF file on my phone without a 3rd Party App.
    3.) My experience with GPS was worse than on an Android
    4.) Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can't be turned off from control center.
    5.) No way to clear all notifs unless they're old.
    6.) No multiple clipboard
    7.) No toggle to switch between iMessage and regular SMS. You have to hold and click just to send as SMS
    8.) No number row and hold for symbols on Keyboard
    9.) A lot of several things wherein Android has shortcut for, but Apple doesn't.
    10.) Files in Mac are a mess. If I put something in a folder, it will be dangling around unorganized. Unlike windows wherein it's a linear grid. I always have to click "Arrange By" just to get them straight in line.
    11.) Mac usability and shortcuts are very limited for my taste.
    12.) iPhone and Mac syncing works, but never works properly (Notes, iMessage, Reminders). Tons of frustration especially on iMessage.
     
    What I like about Apple.
    1.) Earpods are quite good. The volume rocker can even control the Mac's volume.
    2.) Connecting your Mac or iPad to your phone's Wi-Fi hotspot shows signal and battery of your phone.
    3.) The Pre-Installed Apps are quite nice.
    4.) Touch-ID integration on supported Apps.
    5.) Tons of accessories.
    6.) Things are easy to fix. Just a simple Google Search. Since the problem you will experience has probably been experienced by other users already.

    You're concerned with PSU noise, but your chosen hard drive is one of the noisiest. Besides the hard drive though, the build looks fantastic.
     
    I'd suggest this hard drive if you need replacement: Toshiba HDWD130UZSVA

    You'll be fine with 8gb to be honest. Though the comparable 8gb kit costs $86. That's only $64 difference from your 16gb kit. You should stick with 16gb for the peace of mind. Games might also use more than 8gb in the future. Rise of The Tomb Raider already uses 7gb RAM ?

    Things are looking okay. Just a few notes.
     
    1.) You might want to replace your SSD to an NVME SSD like this one: ADATA - XPG SX6000 256GB M.2-2280. It's faster and less expensive.
     
    2.) The EVGA G3 has OTP and OPP issues. Here are some alternatives.
    EVGA 210-GQ-0650-V1
    EVGA 120-GP-0650-X1
    SeaSonic FOCUS Plus 550 Gold
    Corsair TX550M Gold
     
    3.) For your RGB setup, you'll be using 3 different softwares to control your RGB. Aura Sync, Mystic Light, and CAM. That's not very ideal unless you're fine with it.

    No need to buy tubing and reservoir for the Cooler Master - MasterLiquid ML240L RGB. It's an all in one liquid cooling system already. No need to buy thermal paste also. You just have to install everything and you're good to go.
     
    1.) You need to get faster memory for Ryzen. The slow 2400mhz memory is good for intel build only. For Ryzen, I would suggest 3000mhz or above. Something like this: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series
     
    2.) No need to get thermal compound. The one included in the Hyper 212 is almost as good as the Arctic Silver.
     
    I would only suggest that you get a thermal compound if you will be doing extreme overclocking with stuff like custom watercooling, or large AIOs. For that matter, I would suggest the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut 1g
     
    3.) Since you will be doing overclocks, you can get the AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 instead to save some money. Performance difference will be 0-5% when both chips are overclocked.

    1.) You can downgrade your motherboard to any 300-series motherboard and performance will be the same. H310, B360, or H370
     
    2.) You can also downgrade your PSU to any good quality lower wattage PSU if that would save you some money.
