Just to note, the case isn't the best for airflow, however with current pricing there aren't many other options. Try and get some extra fans, or keep an eye on other cases like the phanteks P300A or Coolermaster NR600

    Best PSU

    Corsair TXM550W is what I'd go for https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/dDH48d/corsair-txm-gold-550w-80-gold-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020133-na
  3. Looks very nice. All choices are good, but there's a couple i would change. -I know you dont want to change the motherboard, however you really dont need to spend $500 dollars on a MB. Something for $200-300 will easily handle the 3900x. Check out hardware unboxed's x570 roundup for suggestions. -Ive heard the LG 27GL850 is the best 1440p monitor so I would suggest looking at it, and I believe it is a little cheaper. However, its only 144hz, so if you feel you can tell the difference, stick with the Aorus -Dont buy the reference 2080 unless you plan on installing a custom waterblock. You will get better cooling with a board partner model. Since you want all things aurasync, you could get the Strix model -Try and get 3600mhz memory Otherwise, looks like an amazing build. Enjoy
  4. Im not seeing your PCPP list in your post?
  5. Just to add to the above, if you want to improve the aesthetics you could get the hyper 212 RGB Black Edition. Looks decent and you get 8 different light colours. Also, I bought mine on Amazon UK and it came with the correct AM4 bracket. Hope this helps. Nice build btw
  6. You really need a bigger case. This is what noctua themselves say about your cooler
  7. Looks great, wouldn't change anything myself
  8. The carbon is an excellent board...the best B450 available. The only reason I would pick the tomohawk is because it's cheaper. If you're wanting a higher end board like the carbon, it may be better to check out the B550boards when they come out next week, as they should be similarly priced. If you can get the carbon for the same or less than the tomohawk, buy it.
  9. You won't get 144hz at high settings, but if you lower the settings to low you should get a smooth gaming experience above 60fps. Maybe have a look at getting a Ryzen 3 3100 if possible, and a cheap B450 board. Try and get the 8gb rx570 and maybe try and get 3000mhz ram(not usually any difference in price to 2666mhz (at least in my region)) I understand you have a tight budget, but have a looks round and see if you can make any of these changes
  10. It's ranked as B tier which they recommend for entry level systems, so if your on a budget it should be fine. Could look for the MWE gold or Corsair TXM instead, but I'd imagine they cost a bit more
  11. Tim from hardware unboxed does very detailed reviews on monitors including colour accuracy and black level details. They've done reviews on the first Asus and the aorus. Cant find any on the PG, but it's still worth checking the reviews out: https://youtu.be/AuzO9xK04Jk https://youtu.be/5b2cwbWbDmo
  12. Still looks like a great build. I wouldn't bother upgrading the case. If you really want to spend some cash you could always upgrade your GPU, although I do love the rx580
  13. It may be the lack of vram on the 1060. 3GB really isn't very much anymore. I would wait till later in the year for ryzen 4000 and the new GPUs. Even if you don't buy new you could maybe get a good deal in the used market
  14. I would imagine not. The fan on the aio may not spin up as much as the liquid in the loop is able to absorb more heat, however the noctuas should be pretty quiet, and with only a 120mm radiator the fan will need to work pretty hard anyway. Also if it's just a media pc the fans shouldn't ever need to run to fast
  15. Noctua NH-U9S. AIO is only 120mm so performance will probably not be any better, and cheaper aio's like the masterliquid are more likely to fail
  16. From what I hear, the performance on the laptop is great with the new Ryzen chip. However the cooling on the tuf is terrible thanks to an oversight on the bottom panel ventilation by Asus. The screen is also unimpressive, with high response times. Other than this, there unfortunately aren't many Ryzen options. Could look at the new Dell G5 SE, or the Asus Zephyrus G14/G15. Otherwise you can go intel, or just make do with the drawbacks of the tuf
  17. The only other nice case at that price that I can see is the NZXT H510, however it's a bit of a hot box and has pretty bad airflow, and again you need to buy your own fans. Considering fans will probably cost you about $30, you may be better stepping up to something like the phanteks P400A Digital or the Corsair 220T RGB. Both have good airflow and come with three fans (which are RGB, which is always nice) The phanteks is in short supply at the moment though so it's a bit overpriced. Should really be about $100. Same for the Corsair. If you want case reviews check out Hardware Canucks and Gamers Nexus
  18. Get a 120gb or 240gb ssd for your OS, and I would get an RX570 or used RX580 instead. Otherwise not bad for the price. You'll want to get more ram later probably
  19. LG27GL850-B? Check out some of hardware unboxed monitor reviews for more. They have loads of options in this class
  20. Are these prices the best prices on the parts you can find in your region? If not, that ram (unless its the RGB kit) is rather overpriced. The 2060 super is a little overpriced too. I wouldn't spend more than $400 on it, and the 5700XT is the better performer at this price, unless you really want to go Nvidia. Check out this model https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3YTzK8/sapphire-radeon-rx-5700-xt-8-gb-pulse-video-card-11293-01-20g Again, the 3600 can also be bought for about ~$170 Other than getting a slightly better psu, your selection looks good otherwise. Just see if you can find some better pricing (it may differ in your region) Hope this helps
  21. The MSI B450 boards were very strong this time. Great feature set and excellent VRMs and thermals. Of you want to find out more check out Hardware Unboxed or Gamers Nexus on YouTube. Just to note, B550 comes out in 5 days, so will effectively replace B450. However they are probably going to be more expensive so this may still be the best option, just wait and see anyway. As far as fans go, most will do the trick. More expensive fans like the Corsair and Noctua ones are great performers, are quiet, and certainly in the case of the corsairs, look great. However, you pay for this and they are not really worth buying unless you really love aesthetics or need ultimate performance. If your buying individual fans I'd spend $10-15 on each, or try buying multipacks which can be better value. You shouldn't really need to spend more than $30. As far as specs, 140mm are generally a bit quieter than 120mm but take up more space and are more expensive. PWM fans allow the speed to be controlled by software, so they are often quieter and only ramp up when under load.
  22. Happy to help The 2060 is a midrange card and quite a bit more powerful than the 1650S. It's good for entry level 1440p and high refresh 1080p. You also get ray tracing, but the 2060 isnt really powerful enough for it to be useful. The 1650S is a more entry level card that's good for 1080p gaming, but will struggle more at 1440p and in demanding games like RDR2. They're different classes of card, but as you have the budget the 2060 will give you better performance and last you longer. As far as psu, I would recommend you look into this yourself. For your system you probably want about 550W with 80+ bronze or gold efficiency. Find some reasonably priced ones in your country that meet these specs, then check them on the PSU tier list (in the PSU forum thread) Try and get a B tier unit. With any extra money you could either upgrade your GPU to a 5700XT, upgrade cpu to a R5 3600, or spend the cash on fans/more storage/RGB etc.
