Took some inspiration to one of the latest LTT videos with the NZXT H1 

 

I've just thrown together a PC and would like to share with everyone before I pull the trigger and make a mistake! 

 

Case - NZXT H1 

CPU - Intel Core i7 - 9700k 

Motherboard - ROG Strix Z390-I Gaming

RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 

GPU - ASUS ROG Strix Geforce RTX 2080

 

Would like to know if this is all compatible and/or other suggestions to make it cheaper? 

 

Thanks! 

What’re you wanting to use the PC for specifically? Gaming, content creation, video stuff/audio stuff for work? Awesome stuff so far though

This is what I have so far, any different recommendations in the gpu? I’m a simple guy playing destiny cod and dota and wow until I’m more immersed in the PC world

So far I’m sitting on:

corsair 570 xt case

h150ipro

x6 LL 120 mm fans

commander pro( connected with 2 rgb hubs through the LED plug ins on the pro)

ASUS crosshair hero MBD

4x8 ram (32gb)

2 tb ssd.

Could you please tell me absolute best cpu gpu combo for this so far and then what gpu would work best for what I actually want? Just wanting to know please. Thanks for your help so far ShinRamen!!

And yes I am buying in the US

I don’t really have one honestly I’ve been getting what I think I like, and now I’m at the point where i know I don’t want or need a 3900x with a Titan gpu ya know? I’d guess that all in all my builds in the 2000-2300 range from everything I’ve already got to these last few things to get

You’re right it’s a bit over kill cause since I’m new I don’t plan to overclock just yet. I was just giddy and wanted the lighting but okay that will save me some cash in the cpu side but for gpu you mentioned the Radeon 5700xt right? Is the sapphire nitro plus essentially the 5700 xt only with a ton of lights? The other gpu I like are the EVGA but the only 2070 I see are the super ultras 

So far I have 2 tb mp600 ssd, 4x8 Corsair (3200) on the crosshair MBD. I know I’m kinda building in a funky way

If gaming is your main focus a Ryzen 5 3600 is all you need. Pair that with a fast ram kit 3600MHz/CL16 (16GB is plenty for gaming) and a solid motherboard and you are good to go!

I assume you are buying in the US? A 2070 Super would fit nicely into that budget. I'd recommend a card with 3 fans (Gigabyte Windforce for example). Or you could go with a 5700XT, save some money and have close to the performance of a 2070 Super. New GPUs are expected to be announced soon as well, but there's always something new around the corner

Do you have a PCPartPicker list of your build so far?

 

The 3600 comes with a stock cooler btw. It's sufficient even if you lightly OC the CPU. I'm mentioning this because a H150i is a bit overkill for that kind of CPU and a waste of money imo.

Hey all! So I’m almost don’t with my first pc build. I’m doing lots of rgb lighting from the six fans being corsairs LL and the h150i pro along with a few led strips. My question is for my cpu and gpu. I’m looking to play like destiny and dota and wow, but also experiment since there are more pc games out there. So some first person shooter some MOBA. I know I need a higher end monitor to match with whatever gpu I go with, so, what is a good 600 dollar (around that) gpu to match with say a ryzen 7 3800 or 3700? Or would a 5 suffice? I’ve looked at radeons sapphire nitro, EVGA 2070 supers, ASUS 2070... just don’t know what’s best for me and what I like to play. Any thoughts?
