And I’ve been making this because I need a new PC. 

[dgsddfgdfhgs]

according to deepcool official price, $52 is a bit too high for a chinese brand, should be down to $40

you can also choose rgb version of the case so you dont need extra fans

you dont need aio to pair with ryzen and cant go extreme OC on B450

Wifi built-in the motherboard and it's within the same price point as before so you don't need a network card, RGB fans included in the case, better priced RAM sticks, and fully modular PSU with better price than the Corsair one.

I guess that’s a pretty good budget one.

The H150i Pro does not have RGB fans. I don't believe the pump head RGB lighting is compatible with the motherboard Mystic Light Sync control protocols.

 

The case has no stock fans. A rear 120mm fan should be added.

 

Thermaltake does not have a reputation for excellent psu. Seasonic and Corsair models are available at reasonably competitive prices. At the moment the Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 850W is available at the same price as the 750W model. While a bit more than the Thermaltake, I suspect they are of much higher quality. The RMx and Focus Plus Gold models have 10 year warranties, are fully modular and while not strictly necessary for motherboard operation, include sufficient connectors to provide power to both the 8-pin and 4-pin power connectors.

Consider using the stock cpu cooler.

But I still want to be able to have enough cooling for over clocking. That’s why I put the liquid cooler AIO. But doesn’t the case come with pre installed rob fans though?

[brob]

As I said, the case does not come with any fans. Look it up.

 

The stock cooler will give you a bit of overclocking. You can always add a better cooler down the road should it prove necessary.

 

If you must have a better cpu cooler immediately, change out the RGB fans for inexpensive (~$10 ea) unlit fans and use the savings to get something like a Cryorig H5 Universal.

I’m trying to stick with the 2700X. But everything else seems okay. But are you sure 550w will not hurt any components?

[thinwalrus]

Almost silly to waste a lot of money to rgb and put a weaker gpu in. I would even consider going for r5 2600 and an rtx 2080 instead.

The 2700x is just an overclocked 2700 with a better cooler, which are both moot with the AIO and if you oc.

What about this build? I added a keyboard because I needed one. Plus, this build is good enough for me.

You don't need a $150 cooler for a 2600X. You would be better off going with the R5 2600 and a cheaper cooler such as the Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO. You could fit an RTX 2070 in there that way.

Why exactly are you asking for help when you aren't listening to us at all?

You can overclock the 2700 to more or less match a 2700X. 

 

550W, especially with a gold rated PSU from a good brand like Corsair, will be fine for the build. 

 

IIRC the case Herman selected for their suggestion includes two huge RGB front-facing fans, so you can dump the extra RGB fans for unlit fans to save some cash.

Since the R5 2600 is a slightly better value, I did a few things. I put some cheaper stuff on and upgraded the GPU because it was a better value. I changed up a quite bit of things, but hopefully it’s fine. But here it is:
