2000€ PC

[Harkulles]

Hi, A friend of mine wants to buy a 2000€ PC.

He wants to use it for gaming, and in the future as a server or sth like that.

He doesnt like Watercooling.

He also doesnt want to show off with his PC.

This is what i put togother for him

 Any suggestions to improve the configuration?

Thats good, One thing is for the 2080 Grab a 650 or 700W PSU,

 

It pulls alot of power. Also maybe grab a HDD for extra storage?

I second @Killstreak, 650 or 750W PSU; 80+ Gold or higher if you can.

 

a 1-4TB HDD would compliment that nicely as well. A single 1TB drive isn't enough anymore (imo). The 860 EVO is a nice drive, but I'd get something cheaper (WD Blue maybe) and that should open up room for more storage/better PSU.

A 9900k plus a 2080 wont draw more than 400w from the wall ever, maybe 500w overclocked so no need to spend more on the psu.  As for the storage option, more isn't always better because you can always add more if you need it, so the 860 evo is great and reliable, so I would stick with it for a first build.  Especially for only 150 euros, 1tb ssd is a great place to start because your don't have to deal with a slow hdd and most people can keep their games and files under 500gb.

Overclocking? If not ignore the above comments about getting a bigger PSU. They are wrong. Even if you are overclocking (without exotic cooling) I still doubt you'll exceed even 500 watts.

 

RTX 2080 + 9900k will never draw 600w or more you are fine. Again, ignore the first two responses advice about the PSU.

I suppose. 150 euros (170USD) seems like a lot for a 1TB SSD. The WD Blue is only 135 USD, even on US Amazon the 860 EVO is more expensive. I like the 860, don't get me wrong, but its always nice to save money where you can. 

 

I also own both, and the WD Blue actually beats my 860 EVO in Crystal diskmark, so take that for what you will.

You can easily break 500W with that setup if you overclock and run avx on cpu. 2000€ pc with ok-quality psu is just a weird choice. Corsair rm650x aint that much more and that has no 3rd tier caps inside.

 

Le Grand Macho is a better cooler for cheaper.

451 watts system power draw RECORDED AT THE WALL in a synthetic workload with these components:

The CPU is 8C/16T. Just like a 9900k. It is also on X299 platform. It seems like it was mildly overclocked in the test; however, that was not specified. I believe it is implied because max turbo frequency of CPU is 4.3 GHz and the picture above implies the CPU was locked to 4.3 GHz. That means all cores were locked to 4.3 GHz instead of a single core boost to 4.3 GHz... hence a mild overclock.(https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors/core/x-series/i7-7820x.html). 

 

Also:

Power was read at the wall. The PSU used (EVGA 1000 G3) is rated 80+ gold so it operates between the 20% and 50% load PSU load markers for the 80+ standard in the synthetic test. That means the PSU was somewhere between 87% and 90% efficient near that level power draw (again that was wall power draw), so we'll use the most generous guess possible and multiply wall power draw by 0.9 account for PSU efficiency losses. It's almost certainly less than that in reality. That means the system power draw was less than or equal to 405.9 watts.

 

I default to my original question posed to OP. Do you plan to overclock or not? And same answer: Even if you plan to overclock you are still fine unless you do some exotic cooling or hardware power modding.

 

I'm no PSU expert so I can't reliably comment about the capacitors inside/quality of PSU, but I do know that as long as the PSU itself is of decent quality 600w is plenty fine for this system. I have not heard anything wrong with the PurePower 11. Everything I have read about it points towards it being a good PSU. If there is a better option OP should go for it, but that's not for me to say. All I know is that the system the OP will used as linked will almost certainly never draw more than 500 watts.

And the main point wont change. Corsair RMX is way better than Be quiet with shitty Capxon.

I do not disagree with that last bit.

Thx Everyone for your help! I think that i will go with a 650W Gold+ Corsair PSU
