Final build plan, need checking over

[Tevildo]

So this is my final build plan that I have chosen and completed with other peoples help. If theres any opinons or views please share it below. btw the ryzen 7 2700 is not what I am getting, I am waiting for the zen 2 and apparently the ryzen 5 3600x is around the price of £230 so I changed the price for ryzen 7 to that. Also the msi x470 I am not getting as I am waiting for an x570 board to come out, put a price roughly around £180 as I think it would cost around that much.

It was an estimate or a leak, but sure

Very old list based on a AdoredTV and Reddit leak. 

 

We can assume its nolonger accurate

 

Expect it to cost somewhere between 219$ and 319$

Yeah, that's what I figured.  It may be in that ballpark, but prices aren't set in stone yet.  For your purpose, it's a good estimate.

 

Good build, tho personally I'd go for a cheaper mouse but as they are 100% subjective.... can't say much about it

You got any suggestions for a cheaper mouse?

I love my G502 but you need to make sure it fits your hand and feels comfortable.  That's why I can't really comment, if you like that mouse then go for it.  Way too personal of a choice.

I hear what you mean, kinda like personal preference.  Anyway thanks bud!

It all looks fine to me, just don't get the choice of the boot drive, there is no reason to have it be sata based, Gor for a Samsung 970EVO Plus 500GB, just bought one for 120Euros and the over 2GB/s speed is much better then the max theoretical 600MB/s that sata will give you.

Also i always RAID the main storage drive, just to gain one mote layer of security. I use 2 2.5" 2TB drives in RAID 1 as my main storage. (And still backup the most importante things.) 

 

Hope i'd helped.

Cheers

Logitech G series. 

 

 

what sort of mice do you like. 

 

lik G502 or G703 or G903

 

its all about the shape of the mouse. 

 

also i would recommend a wireless G series mouse. they are very good, no disturbance even when being at an event with around 500++ people continusly present with wireless gear all over.

not worth it. the gain in read/write speed is only noticable in prefessional workloads

 

he should in fact grab the Sata 2,5inch variant of the mx500.

One might consider some of the low cost NVMe drives. Not as fast as higher end units, faster than SATA III with similar pricing.

worse than mx500 at the same price.

 

thay have the benefit of being smaller

The MX500 is a SATA III drive that has significantly lower performance than the three suggested NVMe drives.

its all about the random reads and random writes. 

 

also those qlc SSDs use SLC cache meaning they will get significantly slower the more fill them up. 

 

NVMe drives do not have a benefit for a regular person

I have to disagree. A SATA boot time is still plenty fast, and NVMe shows no increase in gameplay. That's overspending for little to no benefit.

"Plenty fast" is subjective. If one finds SATA ssd boot times acceptable, by all means one can save a bit. 

 

Faster storage can improve the overall experience. Browsing for example, involves a fair bit of storage i/o. In some cases one should also consider memory paging.

For your purposes here, I've got some possible change ideas:

 

For CPU cooling one could grab the

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/JYCD4D/corsair-h100i-rgb-platinum-750-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-cw-9060039-ww to further your RGB theme. Great AIO, a few bucks less.

Both are probably overkill, and you could probably happily get away with the

For the MOBO it's hard to argue the value of the 

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/Hy97YJ/msi-b450-tomahawk-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-tomahawk

 

Could save plenty on RGB RAM. I like the look of

Also for just a few bucks more, I'd go up the the RMx series on the PSU.

Would you say that would be enough for all my games and my OS?

Im put down the x470 due to the reason that I am waiting for an x570 motherboard to release so I put down a price I would say it would be around. Not gonna get that x470.

You don't need NVMe for booting, there isn't a benefit that's worth the price.  Not when you can get a 1TB SSD for the same price as that 970 EVO.  

 

Do some research on NVMe vs SATA for booting/gaming, then make your decision.
