New kind of budget build?

[blcknght]

Hello, I am currently wanting to build a somewhat budget gaming/ workstation computer. I don't need a graphics card and I want to get a AMD Ryzen 7 2600x for the cpu. I have a parts list of what I was thinking but would like some other peoples ideas or opinions on what could make it better. My overall budget would probably be around $1500 USD. I do not need a keyboard or mouse, or monitor. I will be running probably 2 or 3 monitors with it.

 

Here is the link to my pc part picker list. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/blcknght/saved/GFnD23

 

Thanks in advance.

Whats with the weird hard drive setup?

 

I'd drop the cooler and get a high end air cooler like the Dark Rock Pro 4 or D15

and knock the power supply down as well,  don't need anywhere near 750w

I honestly dont know why I have such a weird hard drive setup but I have them already so I am just kind of using what I have for that part.

You intend having a 960GB SSD, a 480GB SSD, a 1TB drive and a 2TB security camera drive?

 

Heres a system with a little bit more reliability and better cooling:

Why the 1060? You can afford a better card in within 1500

Just curious why an air cooler over a aio water cooler?

Air coolers are a better value, more silent, and more reliable than most AIO liquid coolers.

I would only want to do thread ripper if I had enough to get a 2nd gen one. Because future proofing lol

1st and second gen are super similar. There isnt much harm in getting first gen. 

 

Plus its much better for workstation.

But is it going to be good for gaming aswell, I see if doesnt have much adavantave over the 2700x. Other than more cores. Which I dont think I need currently.

Not as good for gaming, but you do get access to the TR4 plattform. Idk what workloads you are doing

 

Also the rx 580 is a much better buy than the 1060.

I have a 1060 already, so for now I'm sticking with that but in the future I plan to buy a better gpu. Overall i guess the most i would be doing is running stuff like visual studio. I do a decent amount of programming. But I do more gaming overall. That's why I was thinking the ryzen 2700x, plus I believe they are going to stay with the am4 socket for a little while which means when they release another "ryzen" cpu I could still upgrade.

TR4 is lasting just as long as AM4.

 

that being 2020. once they release Threadripper 3000 or 4000 you can slot that in just as you can slot in the Ryzen 3000 and 4000. im not saying its a must, but the option is there

True it is there, although I don't know if its really worth dropping like $120 more for a threadripper right now.

well, it is quite a bit better to wait for Ryzen 3000 if you dont need the HEDT features.
