Hi everybody,
I'm new on the forum, so if I miss any rules please feel free to point me to them, I have not build a PC during the last 10 years so please feel free to correct me.
Budget: I don't have a fix budget, but I aim to get a decent price to performance ratio.
Location: Switzerland, I mostly check prices and availabilities at https://www.toppreise.ch/ but I can also buy in EUR online shops since some stuff is just difficult to get.
AIM: Playing PC Games 4K + Playing Emulators + Complex Photoshop Projects + Make it small enough is not an annoyance to move it from my home office to the Livingroom.
I'm aiming to make a Mini-ITX build on a DAN Case.
- BOARD/POWER SUPPLY/CASE
I'm kind of already set on these parts because I can get a decent deal on them.
120 CHF - MSI B450I Gaming Plus AC (AM4, AMD B450, Mini ITX)
80 CHF - Corsair SF600 (600W)
239 CHF - Dan Cases A4-SFX V4 (Mini-ITX-housing)
- CPU
Depending on how well the VRM of the Board can support it I would like to go for a 3700X or 3900X. I would like to hear some opinions about it.
357 CHF - 3700X
566 CHF - 3900X
- COOLING
If the cooler doesn't fit, or is noisy or there is just not good enough, I'm happy to buy a liquid cooling solution. I would like to hear some opinions about it.
120 CHF - 92MM 645LT ASETEK EXTREME CPU LIQUID COOLING BUNDLE WITH NOCTUA FAN
- RAM
My understanding is that the sweet spot for Ryzen 3 is around 3600, so I can get a 3600 or a 3200 with low timings that I can overlock. I would like to hear some opinions about it.
152 CHF - G.Skill FlareX (2x, 8GB, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288) = 14-14-14-34 Timings, should OC to 3600 easily if needed
120 CHF - 8PACK TEAM GROUP EDITION 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHZ DUAL CHANNEL KIT - BLACK = CAS 14-14-14-31 Timings, should OC to 3600 easily if needed
- Graphic Card
I will eventually buy an high end AMD or NVIDIA 20XX card. The SF600 should be good enough padding even with a 12 Core CPU for a 2080 Super, at least when I checked on a TDP calculator.
Hope to hear your thoughts, thanks!
