NEED HELP!

[PJMBRRM0904]

My Wife told me to make a gaming pc build and show her so she can start buying the parts. I was just wondering what input you can put into it? I'm not a big PC gamer, but trying to get into it. All your help/input would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

P.s the 32GB of DDR4 Ram isnt quite necessary.. Just kinda want it to be overkill and future-proof for me.

The smaller ssd would be for an os and any programs i download

The 1Tb ssd would be for games

and the 4tb harddrive would be for anything else.....wanted to go with a few 8tb hdds but that wouldve been too much,

I'm thinking itd be good for me because i dont do too much gaming and its a simple build that id enjoy having for a long time.

Psu is probably overkill but that's okay.if you are getting 32gb ram you should get a single kit.

Get a X470 board with better VRMs, 450s aren't made for R7 chips, just compatible with them, kinda like the 760 boards back in the FX8 days.

 

I'd get two crucial drives, the 500GB one and a 240GB (for the OS) unless you want to bury that samsung in like a year

 

That's quite expensive for a non Ti 1080...

 

About the PSU... go for a 750 or 850 G2 or a gold rated corsair, because... who's coolmax? 1000W, bronze and for 99? I seriously doubt that thing can deliver 1000W...

So why not go with RTX 2070 instead of GTX 1080? It is a newer card, performs slightly better and costs the same.

Also, I would buy a better power supply. A 750 W will be more than sufficient. Just buy something from a tier 1 or 2 from the list. I personally prefer EVGA but you can choose anything from the list and you should be good.

Buy something from EVGA. Their build quality is great and they have great support.
