Custom PC Help (OptionsNeeded)

[blueberrycow1]

Hey, folks, I'm spending $2000 on a PC, I am very happy with all of my parts, color scheme. It would just help my crippling anxiety if more knowledgeable folks would take a gander at what I have chosen, if anything is questionable, or compatibility issues that need to be pointed out that would be awesome.

FYI: I intend to upgrade to a crossfire RX 480 in the near future, as well as another 16gb of RAM, hence the 850-watt power supply. (Is this enough power for the system if I upgrade?) 

Cooling will be 3x120mm fans (pulling) 1x140mm fan (pushing) and the H100i v2 on the top of the case. (I don't know if the H100i should pull or push air in-out of the case). 

 

Thank you in advance for any input.

850w is overkill, even for gtx 1080 sli. Why get a 7700k and liquid cooler with a b250 mobo? You won't be able to oc. Are you just gaming with this or also streaming/rendering/editing?

Thanks, herman, yes this is planned for editing, stream, gaming. I don't plan to overclock as I see no point at all. It would only decrease the lifespan of the CPU. The H100iv2 seems perfect to me, also AUS prices have heavily impacted this build.

Overclocking barely decreases the lifespan or your CPU. Even if it did hurt the lifespan, your CPU is still going to last for a long time (longer then you will be using the CPU).

 

If you don't plan to overclock then don't get a K CPU. Also there is no need to by a CPU cooler as you can just use the stock cooler.

 

If you are going to overclock then get a Z270 motherboard and a good CPU Cooler.

If you plan on streaming and editing, the ryzen 7 1700 would be a much better choice.
