Hi all,

 

I'm looking into a build for a friend. Budget is around 1000 euro in the Netherlands and I came up with this: 

PCPartPicker Part List
Type Item Price
CPU AMD - Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz 8-Core Processor €269.00 @ Paradigit
CPU Cooler Corsair - H150i PRO 47.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler €175.00 @ Paradigit
Motherboard MSI - X470 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard €135.00 @ Paradigit
Memory Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory €89.99 @ Paradigit
Case Cooler Master - COSMOS C700P ATX Full Tower Case €269.00 @ Paradigit
Power Supply Corsair - HX Platinum 750 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply €149.00 @ Paradigit
  Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts  
  Total €1086.99

Or I was thinking this:

PCPartPicker Part List
Type Item Price
CPU Intel - Core i7-8700 3.2 GHz 6-Core Processor €339.00 @ Paradigit
CPU Cooler Corsair - H150i PRO 47.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler €175.00 @ Paradigit
Motherboard MSI - MPG Z390 GAMING PLUS ATX LGA1151 Motherboard €149.00 @ Paradigit
Memory Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory €89.99 @ Paradigit
Case Cooler Master - COSMOS C700P ATX Full Tower Case €269.00 @ Paradigit
Power Supply Corsair - HX Platinum 750 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply €149.00 @ Paradigit
  Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts  
  Total €1170.99

What do you guys think? Any other recommendations? He's very keen on the case so that cannot change. His GPU is a MSI 1070, no storage needed.

 

Cheers.

New CPUs in a couple months, worth the wait if your friend is patient.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Yess, I told him. He's not ;)

In that case just go with Ryzen so he has an upgrade path, and maybe cut the PSU down to 650 watts, a more reasonable wattage, if saving money matters. Also, is storage covered? It's not on the lists, nor GPU.

Yeah, that was my thoughts too. Alright I'll look into the PSU. Yes, GPU and storage is covered.

What GPU is in there already? Would be good to know if its a current GPU or an older one to which higher end CPU might be a bit of overkill.

 

Also is this case mandatory? Its far overpriced and stupidly heavy (looking at about 20kg on the case alone)

Check the OP. Yes, the case is mandatory and the GPU is 1070.

I would go with a cheaper cooler/psu and put the savings towards a better board such as the ASRock X470 Taichi especially if you want to upgrade to an 8+ core in the future.
