Unlocked I3 Build Help/Thoughts ?

[FreeKat]

Hiyah, This is one of the first builds I am doing for my self, I have a bit or some experience ( mostly from LTT videos !!! ). The goal of the build is dope frame speeds at low- mid settings with the ability to dabble in over clocking. Currently playing games like,

 " LoL ", " Let it die ", and doing some solid multi tasking. I have most of the parts so far.

 

All parts are from amazon.ca and newegg.ca.

 

CPU: Unlocked i3-8350k

MOBO: Rog Strix H370-I
RAM: G.SKILL TRIDENT RGB 16g kit @ 3kmhz but I think id like to go with something with less flair at the same speeds or 2600mhz 

COOler: Noctua NH-DL9

GPU: Evga SC 4Gb GTX 1050 ti

SSD: Crucial 2.5 1tb Nand

PSU: Corsair tx 550w 80 Plus Gold Semi Modular

CASE: Phanteks Evolv Shift x

 

I believe I would need a water cooling loop when it comes time for over clocking but to run stock I think the Noctua will be fine. I am concerned if this mobo is okay for Over Clocking ? or if there would be a better mobo to switch too for this. Any help would be greatly appreciated ! 
I hope everyone is having the best December.

H370 doesn't support overclocking and the 8350K is way too overpriced for what it is, but all in all it's a pretty balanced system even without overclocking.

YOu can't overclock on a h series board.

 

What parts do you already have?

 

If your goal is mainly, get get a faster gpu like a 1060, 580 or 1070 and focus on the cpu and cooler less, the 1050ti will limit gaming performance for almost all games with this build

 

Id also look at the rzyen 5 2600, cheaper, overclockable.

also daaamn, did you pay 160$ for a case? that is so unnecessary for a system like that, you could've spent your money on a better CPU and GPU

[FreeKat]

Currently I have MOBO,  GPU, CPU. Noctua Cooler, PSU en route along with the case. The evolv Shift x Was only 120 cad. Im not too bugged about the Mobo but OOF. The 8350k was 200. So in all, Swap the mobo to over clock the i3 since i already have it & upgrade the GPU first. I dont think the 1050ti will hold me back at the moment as I am going from on board. I am looking to play CP77 when it comes out so Ill be looking to upgrade gpu for that.

The idea around the shift x was some slight mods and the option to upgrade to some beefier gear with out lacking space to cool it. Besides its a skyscraper for the mini board XD

PS. Thank you for your advice !! MUCH APPRECIATION. < 3

can you return anything? You can get a much better value than these parts for about the same price, and get a better gpu for a overall better experience.

You could probably get that for your budget, so probably correct.

Sure, it's not as flashy, but it'll perform WAY better in gaming. You'll probably be able to play at High-Ultra with this build.

if you can't replace the motherboard, i would suggest you get an i5-8400 and be done with it

If you want a ATX board, go for the B450-A PRO from MSI.

 Thanks ! Ill probably pull the trigger on the ryzen build once i Send off the other parts for return. 
 Thanks again for the help !!
