PC Build | Tips & Recommendations

[brandoncuff]

So I am going to be building a PC in the next couple of months and I was wondering if anyone had anything to say about if any parts won't work or if my cooler can actually cool my processor well etc.
Going to be used for gaming, video editing, graphic design etc. etc.

Here are the parts:

 

Intel - Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor

Corsair - H150i PRO 47.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

MSI - Z390-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory Western Digital - Blue 2 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive Gigabyte - GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB GAMING OC Video Card Corsair - Carbide Series 275R ATX Mid Tower Case Corsair - RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

 

 

Let me know what you guys think

 

EDIT: Budget is around 1200 - 1300 GBP

What is your budget, use case and currency.

Also get an SSD

[Sorenson]

Looks good to me, I agree you should get an SSD, and probably a 7200rpm HDD

[Firewrath9]

With that budget, go with 9600k, and 2070, or AMD.

Get a better motherboard, and get a SSD

He’s doing video editing and graphic design, he will be better off with the 9900k unless he is making the system primarily for gaming.

Personally, I'd wait for Ryzen 3000 series to drop to see price Vs performance at this point.

 

My 1800x does me pretty good for the same things you do.

 

Also, that's a pretty low end PSU. Probably want to step that up a bit to get clean, reliable power during rendering

It’s a low end PSU? Just asking because I’ve used an RMx psu before and I thought it was pretty good. It also has a great review from tom’s hardware : https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/corsair-rm650x-psu,4611-11.html

Nope, the PSU is fine. It's actually a high-end PSU which is in Tier A+ of the PSU Tier List. It's nowhere near low-end.

The RMx line up is by no means low end, it's actually one of the most well valued higher end units there is.

As already mentioned, it is anything but low end. Not sure where you are getting that info from.

You could also consider the 8700K/9700K or Ryzen.

Thanks for that mate, will look into it!

I stand corrected. I confused it with the VS/CS line.
