Towel Tossed IN...

Well after the soup that trying to choose an AMD motherboard caused me I finally just decided to make a safe vanilla PC..

Here is what I decided to go with:

i5 9400F

MSI B360 ITX motherboard

16 gigs of Vengance LPX

EVGA 2 fan 2060 (sale for 319) no brainer upgrade over the 1660 ti I was going to use in this build.. 

750 watt PS

NZXT H200

Western Digital blue NVME 500 Gig SSD

Going to look for a 2.5" mechanical 1 gig salvage at work for a game drive... we must have laptops here that don't work anymore that have good hard drives in them.. 

 

No need to worry about overclocking or choosing the right VRM with the right other stuff....  Maybe in the future a Ryzen build is in the cards but I have probably just overconsumed Buildzoid's content and gotten myself into that brain fog where I can't decide what to do... This was easy to choose..

I would have waited for Ryzen 2 to come out in a couple weeks. Otherwise it's a decent machine.  PSU is overkill, but if you already have it, may as well keep it.

I would wait until the new ryzen will come out, and after that get something like a ryzen 7 or 5 2gen, as i believe that the 2gen ryzens prices will drop like hell when the new 3rd gen is coming. So it could be cheaper than that i5, or if you still want to use that much money you could easily probably go for one of the 3rd gen ryzens, for even MORE performance.

PSU is significantly over required capacity. What model?

 

Check local pricing, generally the i5-9400 is not much more expensive than the i5-9400F. It has the advantage of a backup gpu and features like Quick Sync. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/quick-sync-video/quick-sync-video-general.html

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Its a gigabyte 80+ gold … the 2060 is being put in this build rather than vega 56 because I needed a smaller card for the case I chose.  the sapphire is too wide at a 2.5 slot card and the powercolor is too long... and I didn't want a blower card for vega…  at only 20 bucks more than the 56 the 2060 wasn't a bad buy I don't think.

I also don't do any of the workloads specified on video sync that would benefit from the igpu and the 9400f is like 40 usd less than the F model now..

If you don't stream or watch videos, then I suppose the US$40 is a bit much for a spare gpu.

That's what I thought too.  That was the difference between a 1660ti and 2060 so I think the better video card was a worthwhile upgrade
