For my first build I'm wanting to do a fairly high end pc that I'll be able to use comfortably for at least a couple years. I know a little bit about components and made a few educated guesses on what would pair well with what, but I wanted to put the parts list I've come up with here and maybe get some feedback to see if any of these will actually work together or not. 

 

I do think the aio cooler is probably overkill for the cpu with it being a 360mm rad, and the psu is a bit over the top too I imagine, but I kind of wanted to play it safe because once Zen 2 comes out that's probably what I'm actually going to go with and I'm not sure how temps will be, plus I may want to dabble in overclocking as well. Also I didn't include any storage since I already have some drives that I'll probably use.

Not a bad build at all, you would be more then fine with a 240mm AIO save a bit of money there.

 

PSU is a great pick, I would stick with the 650w it give you the ability to upgrade longer and with corsair 10 year warranty why buy twice? Right.

 

I would save on the cooler and put your extra towards a bump in memory speed, get 3200Mhz.

 

If you look at my system in my sign its very comparable to yours. What Monitor do you have or going to get? What is your resolution you are shooting for and FPS?

changed the cooler for something similar in air cooling, a better mobo because you wanted something zen 2 ready, different ram because it was cheaper, a radeon VII, a different case with two 200mm rgb fans and a little cheaper higher wattage psu because a vii can pull quite a lot...

Just now, PacketMan said:

I was going to suggest the same thing, going for a cheaper cooler, not buying now RGB, etc and get a better card if there's a budget

You can always buy accesories but upgrading a $500 GPU is a pain in the ass

i mean, i had some budget left after my "changes", so i used that for a vii, but a 2080 is also possible

 

rgb fans are quite expensive, the case i chose almost costs the same

An AIO is a big waste with Ryzen FYI.

 

You aren't going to get Intel levels of clocks and it's soldered. There was a negligible difference on my 1600 between a 240mm AIO and a budget air cooler when I downsized it. 

 

Don't waste the cash on shoddy RGB fans. Spending that much on fans to not be Noctua is an insult to cooling.
