Will these parts all work well together and am I getting the most for my money?

Go to solution Solved by Castdeath97,

What are you using this build for?

 

Regardless:

  1. A liquid cooler at this budget is complete waste, use the included cooler instead.
  2. Get a better card (The RX 470 gets a solid recommendation) and a better power supply (The CXM will do you good).

As others mentioned your cpu cooler is better to air cool. A Scythe Fuma destroys that liquid cooler, should fit your case and cost less. But your CPU is also fine with the boxed cooler.

For RAM I would go 16 GB instead of 8 just in case.

PSU I am not sure if it is a good quality one, might want to look into that.

 

For the SSD, allthough it is a cheap PCIe SSD, the performance isn't the very best and apart from read speeds close to the normal SSD's. The steady state performance is also less then a good normal SSD like a pretty standard 850 Evo.  Allthough more costly a Samsung 960 for example is a much better performer.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Thanks for your help :) Just some light gaming and messing around with the adobe suite.

I didn't even know they came with included coolers but yes will do that. I'll look into that card and psu, cheers.

Yes definitely going with air cooler now. Probably just stock. Yea I could spend that saved $$ on more RAM. I'll look into that PSU, possibly get that other one " Corsair CXM 450W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ".

 

And thanks for pointing out about the SSD / M2 situation. Good M2's are too expensive so I may as well go with a good SSD

Yeah np. if price was simialr it is a no brainer, but the reality is that normal use scenarios like gaming etc and your OS will not really benefit in a noticable and meaningfull way compared to normal SSD. So until price drops closer, it is overall more senseable to take a decent normal one and spend the money on parts you actually get improved performance that is useable or jsut a bigger SSD :)
