New 2020 Build Query

Posted

Budget (including currency):  <£1000

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Overwatch, Ableton, Sony Vegas. Gaming and music+video editing

Other details: I already have a monitor, extra hard drives and peripherals from using my laptop.

 

Here's the build so far, I'm trying to lessen the price without the performance taking too much of a hit, feedback would be epic, I'm not loyal to any brand either so any changes at all fire away, thanks.

you could do so much better with ryzen at the moment, the 6700k (in my current build) is an older cpu at the moment

If you want later down the line you could get a better cooler

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Sorry to bring up the dead thread. We didn't have the motherboard and gpu in stock anywhere in the UK so I had to spend a bit more cash. I also picked up some nice peripherals too, thanks for the help guys, it means a lot! Here's the final build, the only thing I'll get later is this so I can use the USB on the front of my case.
