Help with my first computer build

[gabriel.vega]

Hello I am in the process of making my first first PC and I just wanted to get a little help from people more experienced than me. I am going for around $1000 it is ok if it is a little over or under. I am going to be doing a little bit of everything on it like editing videos and photos, special effects, computer programming, game development (unity), 3D modeling (blender, CAD), and gaming. I want to get a 1080p or preferably a 1440p monitor for the build but the cost of the monitor will not effect the 1000 budget for the computer. I would appreciate it if you guys could check over the build and see if I messed up anywhere like something was overkill for the system, not good enough for the system, something that has a better value for the price point, or any other type of help/advice that you could offer. I am very indecisive about the case, motherboard, and PSU but I need WIFI and would strongly like to have Bluetooth. Also I will probably not be overclocking I might in the future but, the stock coolers with the case and CPU should be able to handle the temps from minor overclocking or stock (I think). I appreciate any help that I can get looking over my build and thank you in advance if anyone answers.

SSD is overkill,500 Gb is enough, and what about HDD?Give more money but buy rtx geforce video card.I havent really heard that power supply brand i would go for be quiet.If u not overclock stock cooler is good enough.

Aside from the gaudy color of that graphics card that won't go with anything else in your build, looks fine. You could save and get a Bitfenix Formula Gold, I believe they offer 450 watt and 550 watt units that would be cheaper and still good quality.

Thank you for your advice I was thinking on going with a smaller power supply and i really dont care about the color theme of anything and the saphire seemed like it was the best choice of the 5 ish available 590's and it comes with 3 free games so it works out for me

There are bad EVGA PSUs but not that one. Feel free to check out the PSU tier list, click the PSU in my signature

no I'm not saying you claimed it was bad, just that EVGA isn't a perfect PSU brand

also I have one more question should I go with the 550W or 650W with my build would the extra watts make a difference also I am going to go with teh bitfenix formula gold psu?

650 watts is too much, you'd be good to save with the 550

Im thinking of going with the corsair rmx over the bitfenix because it is a tad cheaper seems to have same performance and its fully modular do you agree?

Rmx is pretty quality as well. I think it would be suitable.

Thank you for the suggestions I am going to stick with the 2700x because I dont want to mess around with overclocking that much, i switched the motherboard and power supply because they seem to be better. I am going to consider getting the 2060 because I might be able to fit it into by budget but I am not sure at this time because gaming isnt at the top of my priority list. I also stuck with the memory to get the full potential out of the cpu and the storage that I used the wd blue seemed to last longer and have more data writes than the crucial (I am going to be keeping this system for along time so that is a big factor for me) Thank you for all your help.

are you even gonna be writing to the SSD that much until the endurance rating becomes a serious concern? crucial states that you can be writing just under 200GB of data every day for 5 years straight, which you wouldn't be doing anyway.

I have also looked at the ASRock - X470 Master SLI/AC ATX AM4 Motherboard and it seemd to have alot of bad reviews about it saying its not cost effective so I am not sure if I am going to go with it mainly this video 

 and there are one or two more like it are you aware of this?

[Eldwyn23]

I'll be reporting back once I get the rest of my parts together (I just started a thread as well) and I'm going for an asrock ab350 pro 4 and a 2700x with a 1080 ti, but people have expressed concerns because "the b350 isn't designed to handle the 2700x" However I've seen testers online reporting only seeing issues with the vrm under extreme synthetic loads and not under gaming, so I'm not terribly worried myself. But still, food for thought.

 

Also on a related note, here's gaming performance with 2700x oc across different mobos

if you're willing to pay extra for the gaming pro carbon AC there's that, otherwise there's no other wifi board at similar price.
