I'm looking to build a new PC rather than continue to bring my current system (Alienware Alpha R1) to its knees with what I am looking to do.

The goal of this PC, is to not only get me back into PC gaming (I got a lot of Steam Games that need playing), but to also begin streaming as well. I am wanting to spend $1,500 USD or close to it if possible though I can go up to $2,000 USD if needed.Monitor wise, I am planning on just a 1920 x 1080 resolution on a single monitor to begin with, and eventually have 2x 1920 x 1080 ones. Some of the games I plan to play are Civ 6, MVC: Infinite, FFXIV, Darksiders 1-3, and others I cannot quite recall right off hand. I am upgrading/building a new PC as I am also wanting to leave my Alpha attached to a TV instead of sitting at a computer Desk. Here is the build I have planned but want suggestions/advice on.

With what you have above:

GPU - Change to 1660Ti. If you're doing 1080p gaming, even with streaming the 1660ti will be more than enough for the games you want to play. Saves you $500

MB changes to MSI B450 Tomahawk (same price) (Edit: or you can get the x470 Gaming Plus from MSI for $30 more)

CPU - with saving $500 from the GPU, you can go with the Ryzen 7 2700 which is $100 more than the 1700

 

Edit 2: Just noticed the RGB power supply. Honestly it will never been seen. And you can save by not having the RGB.

 

Full changes below - $500 saved - this keeps in line with your storage requirements and PSU even though you wont need 850W.

RGB RAM is more expensive; if you want to cut costs, cutting out the RGB RAM is one option.

 

NVMe SSDs are no faster than SATA SSDs for booting and gaming, so you don't actually need one. And the Samsung Pro SSDs are even more expensive than standard NVMe SSDs (they are faster, yes, but again; you don't need it). You could get a 1TB WD Blue M.2 SATA SSD for the cost of a 500GB Samsung 970 EVO.

 

The WD Black HDDs are overpriced (imo), you could get a 4TB 7200rpm HDD for just $100 instead of two 2TB for $280....

I would recommend getting the Ryzen 5 2600x or Ryzen 7 2700(x) instead of the 1700; if only because they are newer. 

I would recommend a beQuiet! Dark Rock 4 or a Noctua NH-U12s (or NH-D15), they should provide better cooling.

That PSU tho

Get a bitfenix formula gold 550, more than enough.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I think you are building well beyond the means of the resolution you intend to game at, and your are going for unecessarily premium hardware considering your 'ideal' budget is $1,500

The R7 2700 will yield better gaming results thanks to higher clock speeds, with a better cooler to maintain an OC or higher boost clock speeds. I've added a better-equipped motherboard with better VRM cooling. The HP EX920 is excellent value (also still has 512mb of cache), I have done extensive research on it recently as I am purchasing the 1TB version for my Dell XPS13, and it yields a far better $/GB ratio, and it will be just as fast*. Not sure why you need WD Blacks, I have two Seagate 2TB 7200RPM barracudas in my main system (raid 0) and they have been running perfectly for 2.5 years, I also own a 2TB WD black and trust me there is no need, price considered. For 1080p gaming the RTX 2060 is perfect, you are hitting the point of diminishing returns if you get a 2080. IF however, you intend to get a 1440p monitor then sure throw in a 2080, my config is still less expensive with a 2080. And if so get the same model MSI Ventus for $700, they are great cards. As for the case, the front TG panel on that Thermaltake case is quite frankly, stupid as shit, the Meshify C TG is superior in nearly every way, and the white model is on sale currently. Now the PSU, not only is the Thermaltake Toughpower a sub-par quality PSU, the 850W is overkill. The 650W Seasonic unit I suggest is 'better' in every literal sense of the word. 650W is plenty if you end up with an RTX 2080 as well.

Corsair is a solid brand for PSU so you cant go wrong.

 

Personal preference I would take the 7200RPM Seagate storage over the 5400RPM since it looks like all your games will be going on there if you dropped the ssd to be literally just enough for boot and applications. Might even be worth getting a 250GB SSD to be safer.

 

Do you need Windows Pro over the standard edition? Also you can purchase product OEM keys for a much cheaper price.

The professional edition adds a few features I want such as Remote Desktop (I will be using that to manage a server I obtained that has a dead PSU) as well as a couple other features that I know I can find available online for no additional cost.

Alright. Should still be able to find OEM keys for cheaper though. 

 

Get a larger boot SSD for programmes and maybe your most played game.

 

Upgrade to 7200RPM barracudas. You can split it like @JM21 mentioned to have Standard Barracudas 2TB each running 7200RPM. Cheaper chan the 4TB Barracuda Pro

I think $0.00 for the OS is good. I picked it up to upgrade my alpha last year and never did.

Well if you dont need an OS because its tied to your account then you can remove it from part picker. Upgrade the SSD to at least 250GB instead of 60GB and then thats done.

Well this is new, the build itself is under budget and looks to be a solid build. At this point I think I will be good to go once I finish moving. Unless there are suggestions for the case itself, as the last case I really worked on with an old Antec one that was around when the Intel P4 was released.

get a 2700 instead and use the money on an RTX 2060, oc the 2700 to match 2700x speeds. the V300 is pretty crappy, the HP EX900 is $47 and much better. a single 4tb HDD would be easier to manage than a pair of 2tb HDDs.

every brand has good and bad power supplies, don't recommend them based on the brand. corsair themselves don't even make their power supplies, they get some other company to build it for them.
