Hey there,

 

Where are you located? What's the budget you are working with? What monitor will he be using (resolution and refresh rate)? Any specific games or everything across the board?


That's a beefy motherboard, so other than your budget - you're not limited with the choice of components.

Well in that case I have not much to add to what @Fasauceome suggested above. I'd either go with a 3700X or 3900X - all or nothing ;) Maybe even consider a Gen 4 SSD, it's not going to increase performance in games, but you got the chipset for it already, so why not.

The MSI cases are not exactly known for their exceptional airflow.

Hi with the memory and the storage just 2 x memory and 1 x storage of what you have put on your list would be enough?

double the memory I added? 32GB for a gaming PC is already quite excessive, I wouldn't recommend 64GB even with an unlimited budget.

Thanks for your help, most of the parts have arrived now, i ordered the CPU but by mistake i brought the AMD RYZEN 7 3800X CPU EIGHT CORE 4.5GHZ

Are these CPU as good as the one you listed? Or is it best to get it swapped?

The 3800X has 4 less cores, since this is a gaming PC you should hardly be concerned about that. The 3900X is really excessive so basically you saved money in a good way.

Adata SX8200 Pro 2TB is cheaper and better value.

The MP 510 is great but I gotta say you're paying for some pretty premium, non gaming parts.
