Don't worry about getting an SSHD for your mass storage, save a few dollars and just go with a normal HDD.

 

Could bump the psu down too

Use pcpartpicker.com to assemble your list. It will do some basic compatibility checking and will provide a max power estimate. You can post the permalink here or use the [cc] button on the build list toolbar and post the result.

 

How will the system be used?

Some gaming, some photoshopping and video editing, and some light streaming. I will probably be using it for a while so I went with higher specs than I need.

I will be probably doing some overclocking, I just thought a 750w will be good for it. (with upgrade ability for other parts considered)

I don't really know what a hybrd drive does and I will probably go with a barracuda pro compute instead (the one with 5 years of warranty).

Does the pro really matter by the way? A normal barracuda compute is like 30-40 bucks cheaper.

Thanks for posting the pcpartpicker list.

 

Trident Z memory modules are sub-optimal with the MA610P cooler. The memory-side fan slightly overhangs the first memory slot.

 

I'd suggest going with the Cryorig H7 Quad Lumina. It has no memory limitations and has RGB lighting. It is also a better cooler than the MA610P.

 

You can get a decent performing 500GB ssd for less than the 860 Pro. From the described use case, an 860 Pro is not going to contribute anything, especially such a small unit.

 

I don't think a hybrid drive is worth the added cost when used for data storage.

 

I don't include mail-in rebates in build lists which accounts for the slightly higher cost.

I wouldn't. But I would have an external backup solution.
