I definitely have a few notes. If you're just gaming, browsing, watching videos, doing email, using discord/skype, etc., then you're better off going for the 9400F. It beats the 2600x and 2700x (even when they are OCed) in average FPS, 1% lows, and 0.1% lows (1% and 0.1% lows are a measure of stutter). I would go with dual channel 16GB RAM instead of single channel. Performance differentials can be up to 65%. That PSU is highly unnecessary. Higher wattage doesn't mean it's better for your build. In your case you can use a good 550w PSU.

 

With that being said, see my build below, which sports a black and white theme:

Here's some data showing what I was talking about above. I also fit in an RTX 2060 with these adjustments for better gaming performance (although we don't know your moniitor resolution or refresh rate).

you will have a hard time building something better than this

 

edit: it will offer the best performance at the pricepoint

 

edit2: both in terms of user experience and almost performance. except the 2070 build above which will offer better performance.

I have some older monitor here. I don't know much about it. It's a dell. I think 1080p. I will be looking to get a high refresh monitor for 1080p tho.

 

Nah, no overclocking. Not my thing.

I like the look of this one a lot, its dope. I didn't realize my RAM was only 1 stick, my bad. Good to know about the 9400.

Although I usually would contest this - today, I can't. It's cheaper than the MX500, which is faster, but usually it's more expensive.

its cheaper and you get a very nice looking build. remember that im posting without rebates included. as they can be a pain to deal with. 

 

 

edit: also 2600x>9400f in terms of what you should buy these days. like 4c/4t, 6c/6t isnt going to hold as long as 6c/12t that the 2600x has.

Although I usually would contest this - today, I can't. It's cheaper than the MX500, which is faster, but usually it's more expensive.

needs a cooler, its otherwise quite loud. like famously known to be loud. 

 

and to fit that you would drop to B365 board which drops ramspeed to 2666mhz which will cause quite bad 0,1% lowes in some titles.

I find Intel stock coolers to be of decent noise level... might be just me :/ I ran a 8700K with a copper slug one for the longest time.

 

Depends on the person though.

My Haswell cooler works fine, you'd be hard pressed to find a more quiet system.

Yep, I am aware of its shortcomings in speed. I usually just go with whichever QLC drive is cheaper at the time since they'll be just fine for boot times and gaming load times. It would be hard to tell the difference outside of benchmarks.

I guess you do have to factor in they use aluminum cores now.

The RTX 2070 and 2060 are about 10% apart on average. My build would have the advantage of having the better CPU cooler and, of course, it is below your budget. So you'd be paying $57 more for a 10% performance increase. Your choice.

Depends on the person though. 

they dont ship with copper slugs anymore and they run the chips rather hot and loud. yes its subjective, but the higher pitched noise of the fan is said to be quite bad. 

 

also 2600x>9400f simply due to the thread advantage. they start of with similar performance today while the extra threads will keep the 2600x relevant for longer. 

 

edit: as shown with every 2nd to 7th gen core i5 owner
