personally i would get a more powerful PSU (heading closer to the 550+W mark) as most powersupplies dont opperate with 100% efficency. but other than that it is a nice build overall and i cannot see much wrong with it

Changed the CPU cooler, PSU, GPU, and motherboard to something better. Threw in some cheaper non-RGB RAM. If you need any help, feel free to ask. Good luck with your first build!

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NdcwWD

personally for 30$ I'd change that SSD for a 1tb 2.5" from a brand that isn't Samsung (because they're cheaper and the difference is tiny and skip the hard drive entirely.

I hate compromising on performance "ooo, I'll put this on my hard drive because I don't have any room" and 1tb for me is the sweet spot where I really don't need any more

 

Despite that, idk you and what you need, and you may need that extra 500gb even if it means settling on 500 more. That could not be more of a personal choice. 

I once gave Luke and Linus pizza.

first thing to dump is the graphics card. $550 is even more than the faster RTX 2070 which itself is not exactly good value among the Turing cards.

 

Then cheaped out on memory. saving $20 makes up for losing 200MHz (you can almost always add that 200MHz back yourself later on, maybe a tad more voltage)

 

Spend less on a different board, just as good but lower price. More RGB if that's your thing

 

Need much more cooling, so the H7 Quad Lumi got swapped out. Stock fans on the H115i Pro arent great though, that's why added fans below

 

Use larger capacity SSD, better value that way

 

Use 2060, since it's better value than the 2070, though that's not always the best choice since the 2070 is 10-20% faster (but 30%+ more expensive)

 

No research on PSU as far as I can tell, Corsair VS is fit for super budget systems worth maybe $150-200, no place for a nearly $1800 one

450w is good enough to power this PC, but this 750w unit is at a good pricel so I went for it. Also useful for upgrading in the future

 

9700k is soldered instead of 8700k's paste so better thermals without delidding. The different core and thread count turns into identical performance, somehow.

 

Changed monitor because the MSI G24 is a bit better

 

There's also a Ryzen version with faster GPU, but currently available Ryzen CPUs dont push high frame rates anywhere as easily as Intel's Coffee Lake CPU. A compromise you can call

NH-D15 is probably the best air cooler you can get on the market now

Swapped out the 8700K for the 9700K are somehow no hyperthreading but 2 more cores equals much better performance?

Motherboard swapped the Z370 for a Z390 due to CPU change.

Lowered the RAM speed and cost as Intel chips aren't as sensitive to RAM clock speed as Ryzen

Cheaper SSD that is still pretty good

RTX 2070 is better than the 1070Ti

Swapped out the PSU as Corsair VS series is for those really tight budget builds (even then its better to take the CX)

Added a case fan

The 9700K (8c/8t) with its 2 extra cores simply outperforms the 8700K (6c/12t) in just about everything whether its gaming or even workstation stuff despite the 4 threads advantage of the 8700K.

 

The $40 price difference IMO is worth paying if that is the case.

With the 1800X (3.6ghz 8c / 16t) on a nice sale, I was able to finagle an RTX 2080, a sustainable PSU, some RGB elements, and a 1440p 144hz monitor for about the same budget.

Take that money and do some SERIOUS gaming with it!

 

As an alternative (same stuff), here is a very sexy all black version:

better off going with a ryzen 2700 instead and do some overclocking, or just overclock a 1700 for the same performance.

Do you think with this build there will be enough cooling to maintain the heat for long periods of time
