Anyone can help me decide between the two i made? I am from Philippines budget is minimum 3k USD I really like a build that can last at least 5 years or above and play every future or triple A games at least 1440p ultra settings or 4k any settings without any problem or what not. planning to use 1440p monitor 144hz or higher. Should i wait for 7950 XTX?

Started building this computer at the beginning of quarantine, modified it heavily to play with air-cooled components and give it its own character, including adding top and side panel exhaust fans. Ive been collecting parts to eventually water cool it, and realized I was running out of time before the components were completely last gen, so I went for it and water-cooled it last week. I ended up trying to replace the chipset fan and integrate it into the loop, which looks awesome, but I think is pointless, as the entire system heat soaks to 75 degrees and the loop starts heating up the chipset ( ) so ill be taking that out of the loop to see how it does with passive cooling. It all came together pretty nicely, and I realized soft tubing was the way to go for this, because I can actually manage to remove all of the components of the loop as one piece for maintenance I of course found this out, because I forgot to remove the plastic from the monoblock when I first installed it. Wondering if I should have gone with a more efficient front radiator than the Ultra Slim, if that would make a difference. Ive learned that likely because there's so little space and so little water in the system, this hits a point of totally heat soaked fairly quickly, but I'm satisfied with the system able to maintain 75 degrees. I do plan on continuing to work on this, possible adding a more efficient front radiator, better slim fans,(ive already ordered noctua) making a tighter seal between the radiators and fans, to get the most efficiency out of this I can. Possible down the road I might try and add quick disconnects to loop in an external radiator, I dont seem to feel satisfied without continued mad science and benchmarking... All ideas welcome!

Hi guys, Hope everyone is safe. Just wanted to know if the Noctua NH-U14S would fit on the TU 150? And also in regards to the ram clearence, would the Cosair Vengence RGB Pro fit with the cooler? Hear from you guys soon!

Hey! Since my current build is around 4 years old now and with the new Ryzen CPUs coming out, I decided to build a completely new rig. First, here is my current build: Case: Corsair 270R (I think^^) CPU: Intel i7 6700k Cooler: Corsair H100i v2 Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Ranger GPU: EVGA GTX 970 RAM: 16GB Corsair LPX DDR4 RAM PSU: Corsair RM750i SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB + 1TB Monitor: 2x 24" Asus VN247H For my new build, as stated in the title, I choose an ITX build, since I dont really see the point in getting a mid tower case when I can get the same performance in a smaller form factor. Here are the parts I have in mind for now, with alternatives. Could you please give me some feedback and suggestions if there are better and/or other options? My main use for the build Case: Lian Li TU150 Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X570-I Gaming / Asrock X570 phantom Gaming-ITX / Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro WIFI CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700X / 3600X Cooler: Noctua NH-U12A GPU: GTX 2060 Super / GTX 2070(S) RAM: Corsair 32GB LPX 3200-C16 PSU: Corsair SF750 Storage: Corsair Force Gen4 MP600 1TB / MP510 960GB Monitor: 2x 27" Dell UltraSharp U2719DC / Samsung C27JG50 Some questions regarding my build: 1. Motherboard: I don't know much about motherboards, but I like the Asus board the most so far. How is it compared to the other two options? 2. GPU: Which one is best when it comes to price to performance? Also, since my monitors are 1440p, is a 2060S enough, and could I also go for a GTX 1660 TI for example? 3. RAM: I am also not really familiar with RAM frequencies and timings, but the 3200-C16 RAM was the most popular one when I checked the list. Is there a reason or a real benefit to be had when buying faster memory, since it expensive really quickly. 4. Storage: One of the new featues of the X570 boards is PCIe 4.0 and I feel rather bad about not using a feature I paid money for. The SSD does cost around 200€ though which definitely hurts. Does PCIe really give one a noticable performance boost, considering you can get the MP150 version for just half the price? 5. I also want to upgrade my screen size and the two monitors from Dell and Samsung are the two options I found so far. I really love the design of the one from Dell, with its ultra slim bezel which would benefit me a lot with my dual monitor setup. They do cost 150€ more than the Samsung ones, but that is not really a problem here for me, since I find a good monitor is 100% worth paying for. A major difference between the two screens, is the curvature of the Samsung, as well as the thickness along with the price.What does a curved monitor do anyway in your experience? Better or worse than a flat one? 6. Fans and cooling: I plan on installing 5 Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-2000 PWM fans in the case. One in the front, two on the bottom and two for the CPU cooler. Have any of you guys done a build in the TU150? What's the best fan configuration in your opinion? 7. CPU: Should I get the 3700X or the 3600X? I use my PC mainly for coding / gaming and browsing. So that was basically it. I would appreciate it a lot if you give your thoughts or suggestions ?
