Hello!

 

This is my first time posting here so please be gentle on me. I need some advice and comments on this build because I can't bother my friend that much for more advices. This build was recommended by a friend of mine changed some of the parts according to what I have checked/studied.

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Rony_1221/saved/wM6jyc

 

CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 2700 8-CORE 16-THREAD 3.20-4.10GHZ 16MB 65W

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro Wifi

RAM: 1pc KINGSTON HYPERX FURY 16GB SINGLE DDR4 2666MHZ CL16 HX426C16FB/16 (Will add 3 more pcs when I have the budget)

SSD: Samsung 860 Evo 250GB MZ-76E250BW

HDD: Seagate 2TB Barracuda ST2000DM006 (SATA 6 Gb/s)

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 TI OC 4GB Gddr5 (GV-N105TOC-4GD)

Chassis: Tecware Neo TG atx 2x140mm 1x120mm USB3 https://www.tecware.co/neo

Fans: (Will use the built in fans in the chassis)

PSU: EVGA - BQ 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

OS: Windows 10 Home

For the monitor I already have BenQ GW2270 (21.5 inch 1920x1080)

Also already have a mouse and keyboard

 

-I live in Southeast Asia (Philippines) so the total is about 60,000 Philippine Pesos (with VAT). In USD, the build is around $1000 I think. I set my budget around that.

-Will be using the PC for studying 3D modeling, video effects (VFX), video editing, 3D rendering and some other media stuff. (And a little bit of gaming)

-I also might upgrade GPU, storage and ram in the future

 

Thank you in advance!

you are going to want 2 sticks of ram. single channel is a bad idea. and id try to see if you can get a RX 570 or 580... or a GTX 1060 instead of a 1050ti

 

Other than that, its not a bad build.

Rig 1: i7-9700k OC'd to 5.0ghz all core | EVGA XC RTX 2080Ti | ADATA DDR4 2400mhz 4x8gb | ASUS PRIME Z370-P | Asetek 550LC 120mm | ADATA 480GB SSD & Toshiba P300 3TB | Cooler Master Masterbox MB500 | Win 10 Home | Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum, G502 Proteus Spectrum, G933 Artemis Spectrum Snow Wireless Limited Edition, Corsair MM300 Mouse Pad | 2 MSI Optix Curved 27" FHD Monitors 

 

(before i sold the WD drive and MSI gpu - https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/11946219 171 gaming. felt good.)

 

Rig 2: i7-7700k Stock clocks | MSI Armor GTX 1070 | ADATA DDR4 2400mhz 2x8GB | MSI Z270 A-Pro | WD Green 240GB SSD & 2TB Seagate HDD | Thermaltake Core G21 Tempered Glass Edition | Win 10 Home | 2 HP Omen FHD 144hz 24.5" Monitors 

 

Rig 3: i7-6700 | GT 730 & GT 645 OEM | Some random DDR4 2133mhz 2x8gb sticks | OEM Dell Mobo | WD Black 2TB HDD & Toshiba 1TB HDD | Win 10 Home | 3 27" Dell FHD Monitors 

 

Rig 4: i7-4770 | EVGA SSC 1050ti | Some random DDR3 ram 2x2gb and 2x4gb sticks | OEM Dell Mobo | Stock Cooler | 1TB WD Black HDD | Win 7 Home 

 

RIP 

 

Rig 5 (dead and dismantled and sold) : i7-7820X OC'd to 4.8ghz all core | MSI DUKE 1080ti | ADATA DDR4 2400mhz 4x8gb | Gigabyte X299 UD4 PRO | Asetek 240mm AIO | WD Green 240gb SSD | Other various components that I can't remember

 

Rig 6 (same fate as rig 5) : i7-8700k stock clocks | MSI DUKE 1080ti | ADATA DDR4 2400mhz 2x8gb | MSI Z370 A-Pro | Asetek 550LC 120mm | WD Green 240GB SSD & Toshiba 2TB HDD | Other various components that I can't Remember

I'd have to agree with @TH3R34P3R, an AMD card would be your best option within your budget. Also, you should be running this in a dual channel since that is Ryzen's preference. The only way I can justify you running a single channel with a 16gb stick is if you'll be upgrading to a total of 64Gb's. Most editing set-ups only need 32.

Do you really need 64GB RAM or can you raise your budget to get 2x16GB? A single channel RAM config will hurt your CPU performance because you'll half your bandwidth

If you are gaming buy the 2600, it has better per thread performance with only two less cores and a much more justifiable price.

I recommend buying an X370 board and updating the BIOS, you get more features for cheaper, most X370 boards that are still sold come with BIOS updates anyhow, like the ASUS Prime X370 Pro.

I recommend buying dual channel RAM, use the money saved by switching to the 2600 to potentially get another DIMM of the RAM you plan on buying.

1700 is most of the times way cheaper, a aftermarket cooler, a better motherboard imo, 32 gigs of ram, same ssd and hdd, better gpu, a case and a psu I consider much better. that one is pretty meh

well, I wouldn't buy x370 from msi myself. but a different one like a crosshair vi isn't a bad idea

MSI isn't a great choice for motherboards as a whole, I personally only buy from EVGA, ASUS or Gigabyte.

Thank you for your replies. 

 

I don't really need 64GB of RAM right now, as I was checking your comments maybe the right path is going for 4pcs 8GB RAM?

That sounds perfect. 4x8 would be great. Look at the post by @LukeSavenije, he posted a good build alternative.

If I get 4pcs of 16GB ram stick for a total of 64GB RAM would that be bad for my build?
