Is my build good?

[jayy1990]

I am trying to build a gaming pc and to occasionally use for cinema 4d video rendering. My budget was around $3000. Is this build good, or do you recommend something else? Thank you

nope, go ryzen 1700.

I would build a Ryzen build even if only doing occasional rendering. You will get a better experience with the rendering times with a Ryzen 1800x build over a 7700k build.

Even for gaming? I never thought of choosing AMD over Intel but for multicore speeds im sure ryzen is at least double the speed of the 7700k

not that simple, get a 1700 and overclock it it will be better for your needs.

Yes Ryzen is great for gaming, You may not have the maximum performance you get with intel, but in general the low end is much higher than the lows on intel chips.

Do you have any mbd recommendations? maybe ROG

If you already have bought the items, dont bother returning them. You will still have a great experience regardless.

PSU?

Even a Ryzen 5 1600X or 1600 would be better for video rendering than a 7700K, though not by as much as a 1700. It sounds like you don't make videos on a super regular basis so it may not be worth it to spring for an 8 core. This is a decision that you would need to make for yourself though.

Make sure your board is z270 or x99, otherwise your wasting money w/ a k cpu and liquid cooling.

64gb ram is overkill for what your doing, I'd probably go 2x16 (32gb) to start, and see how much your using when rendering.

What PSU? 850w says nothing,

Ryzen would help for the rendering, but has not as good gaming performance as Intel (unless this was changed recently)

The board is a z270. I multitask for my job so i wanted to make sure the memory is top notch. I dont like any freezing when swapping opened programs. The PSU i have is an SLI ready Plus Gold EVGA.

So EVGA G1/G2/G3/GS? Some models have PSU's are bad, rating/wattage =/= quality.

And that's fine pairing a k cpu w/ a z board. A person ik put a liquid cooled i7-7700k on a b250 board lol

It's rated as Tier 2 according to this Tier List. @STRMfrmXMN can explain more on why. But the PSU will be fine.

So the CORSAIR Professional Series CMPSU-750AX/RF 750W ATX12V is a Tier 1? I didn't know I had to be extra careful with PSU's

Basically if your above Tier 3 your golden, beneath it you run a greater risk. PSU's are incredibly vital and can take systems with them if they fail. Basically try to not cheap out on it. But anything Tier 1,2,3 will be fine for gaming systems, Tier 4 if it's not being used too often.

Okay thanks. I sure will consider that on my next build. I will ask before i purchase LOL. Appreciate everything

No worries, there is lots of budget friendly PSU's out there that aren't firebomb PSUs. Always good to have people glance over your build, so you don't forget anything too.

Go get an AMD Ryzen r7 1800x if you want to game this cpu will be fine and it blows Kaby lake out of the water when it comes to video rendering and content creation

The 1800X is a waste of money. The R7 1700 is the best value in the 8 core lineup.
