850W is plenty for this config. Unless you want to overclock it like crazy :D

Thanks man!

I even don't know how to do that

;D

My first build

I would be afraid to damage the stuff by doing any kind of over clock

I think it will take me quite  a lot of reading and courage before I attempted anything

 

Around this price range Z270e is a great choice or there are better options?

Excellent option

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

My only advice is to get a bigger NVMe SSD. Something like 500GB or even 1TB will allow for more games to be loaded faster and programs like Premiere will run faster :)

I just wanna add that with your Config, you should hit the sweet spot of 50 % even under load meaning your PSU fan wont even spin, that mean your pc should be pretty quiet .

Why do you need 32GB Ram ?

 

What monitor are you using ?

Hi lee32uk!
I don´t really think that I need 32GB ram, but as I´m trying to make a very nice machine for playing and video editing

I thought that have a few extra GB won´t hurt and the difference from having 16gb and 32gb is 150 euros..... so I think that I´ll buy 32GB

 

and about the monitor, I still haven't decided yet

as I´m not a hardcore competitive player or playing very often shooting games
I´m seriously considering using a 50" tv like Barnarcules does...it´s cheaper and give a nice response.....

or maybe a setup with a dual monitor.... which I still have to decide 

what do you think of using a tv as monitor?
