My build my be ruined HELP

[ArnoldDavis]

So I have went completely nuts when it has come to building my first gaming pc. It is stupidly expensive and I believe I have bought bad parts in terms of cooling or utilising my GPUs to its full potential. Any advice on which parts I should switch to fully utilise my GPU. I don't mind the slight bottleneck with my cpu and GPU its mostly the motherboard I'm afraid of.

 

CPU: i5 9600k

GPU: Msi rtx 2080 ti gaming trio

motherboard: msi z390 - a pro

ram: 2x 8gb corsair vengeance 3200mhz

power supply: corsair Corsair VS650 650 W Active PFC 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply Unit 

case: EMPIRE GAMING - WarFare PC Gaming unit - Black - Red LED: USB 3.0, 3 x 120 mm LED Fans, Smoked transparent side panel - ATX/mATX/mITX

fan: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooling System

storage: m.2 Samsung 

monitor: Asus rog

 

yes I know I'm a noob.

I'd swap the motherboard out for an ASUS Z390-E personally. I've had much better experiences with ASUS motherboards than MSI motherboards. (Better software, better UEFI ["BIOS"], better quality, etc..)

 

I'd also opt for something a bit beefier than a 212 EVO, just for the sake of cooling and silence. https://amzn.to/2WdP3Rr Check out the Noctua NH-D15, it's a bit more expensive, but it easily competes with even 240mm AIO Liquid Coolers.

 

I'm not too familiar with Corsair's VS series of power supplies, but seeing how it's non-modular and only 80+ rated, I wouldn't put that thing anywhere near my rig. Something like an EVGA 650 G3 would be much better. https://amzn.to/2HNriqz

replace this immediately with a corsair RMX or bitfenix whisper.

it's a shame they're both tied for world's worst customer service

first thing i see: shitty psu. 

Get yourself a PSU from tier A or above from the following list as a guideline

Since I'm a noob would you have any idea if my motherboard is crappy. Would it be a throttle in anyway to my cpu. Thanks

It's not a high end board but it's fine for your CPU. It can overclock a little, and that's about it.

Sorry I meant my gpu. I would be looking to drive it as hard as possible 1440p ultra etc. Would the motherboard be a Hindrance.

the motherboard does not affect GPU performance.

 

just make sure there's a good power supply on it and it's fine.

it's always good to get a second opinion before you buy

bad protections and voltage ripple, crap fan, no semi passive mode or modularity, low quality components used. It's by no means meant for a powerful gaming CPU and GPU, only basic office PCs.

Get AORUS Master motherboard. 12 phase VRM on it and a finned heatsink, good WiFi, easy overclocking, and 3x NVMe slots.

In my native land, the general recommendation for Z390 boards are Gigabyte Aorus Pro, Aorus Elite and Aorus Master, or, cheaper: Gigabyte Gaming X Z390.

 

The PSU is kind of "meh", should have picked a better unit. Bitfenix WhisperM and BQ Straight Power or Corsair RM650X would be my pick.

 

For CPU cooling: with an 9600k I'd pick something like BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro4; Alpenföhn Brocken3 or even Deepcool AssassinII. If I were you. There are also more budget coolers with excellent performance, ie.: FSP Windale6 (roughly 45 USD in my country) or Raijintek Ereboss (40USD).

 

And one of my favourite cases would be Fractal Design Meshify C or even Phanteks Enthoo Pro, both with wunderbar air circulation and good dimensions.

 

Please don't spare the expenses of your PSU and a good airflow case!

100% Go Fractal Design for Case (superb dust filtering, cool *and* quiet). Dont skimp on your PSU; EVGA do great modular PSU's.

I mostly go for Asus MB. Samsung for SSD 2.5" and WD Caviar Black for reliable magnetic storage.

If you can get NVme drive on your MB for your OS and fast storage, AData do a crazy value extremely fast NVme " ASX8200NP-480GT-C" great value.

ASUS has shittiest Z390 board. Out of all companies. 4 phase VRMs everywhere.
