Okay honestly i have no knowledge of pc building.

But sometimes it's fun to try putting in a build together that i could maybe work out later.

So i have:

-Case: Phanteks Eclipse P350X

-PS: CoolerMaster MasterWatt 650

-Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO

-Graphics card: MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Armor 8G

-CPU Cooler: Gigabyte CPU Cooler ATC700

-SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB

 

So i am sure myself that this build isn't perfect or maybe good, but it was a try.

Am i missing something? Do i need to change something, help a amature out! :)

So far the only thing(s) missing as far as I can tell are first, you are going to want a CPU with that.... preferably 9th gen (kind of hard to run a computer with a cooler, and a MOBO, but no CPU.) After that you are probably going to want extra thermal paste just in case things don't turn out, and that's all I can think of.

Yeah i had a cpu in mind but I forgot to add it, but i was thinking about a intel core i7 8700k, or it was 9700k i dont remember really but is that good enough?

Thats a great cpu. Since you're going with a high end mobo tho, I would say 9700k is better.

Maybe a nicer psu like the supernova or rmx series.

If you are paying for a Z390 I would recommend you grab the 9700k or 9900k, otherwise I would recommend that you grab a cheaper Z370 board for an 8700k.

LOL! Don't I know it! XD (P.S. I am currently dealing with a computer that doesn't want to run Windows 10 properly... System 32 + system interrupts + debugging consuming 50% of a core I5 2500 at idle...)

Your welcome! (P.S. also I just remembered you are probably going to want Windows 10 for that.)

Tried that, even went to the Microsoft forums and even got some of their staff help me, we couldn't find the solution to the issue. Thanks for the suggestion though!
