Current 3900X build

[GamerTrem]

I'll be gaming, streaming, and recording at 1440p. The wireless card is a place holder as is the hard drive, but the rest is accurate. Whats everyone's thoughts? Also, that Trident Z Royal is the only 3600 speed ram I could find at 16 gig a stick to fit the build. Oh well

Your old PSU won’t be enough.

the taichi already has wifi so no need for another wifi adapter.

[GamerTrem]

Wifi card listed is because I have one currently, its more to match the power requirements than anything in the overall build for what little that matters, though with the onboard wifi for the Taichi it is already a lot faster with the newer tech. Which is part of why I chose the Taichi.

I have a total of 2TB of SSD and 2TB of HDD in my system atm, just didn't list them all. Though I plan on getting a larger HDD for video storage for later editing.

I am shooting for the higher end RAM and don't want to drop below the 32gigs as I stream, record,  and video edit, etc all at 1440p. Which is why I was shooting for the 3600 speed ram as well. Wanted to max that out for the 1:1 ratio.

I looked at the Meshify C, but that case is a little smaller than the S2 which I'd like to keep due to the building room it gives.

[GamerTrem]

I am leaning towards a stronger power supply, but pcpartpicker shows I have roughly 100W breathing room atm. If I go for any heavier OC I'll make sure to upgrade the PSU.

Why? Taichi is a very solid board.

 

also I would go with th fractal design case, or the S2. They are so good for airflow and they look nice.

 

as for the ram, should be a solid cheaper alternative

The 3900X is a power hungry chip IIRC. I would upgrade the PSU to be sure.

[GamerTrem]

I'm also looking at changing out the cooler for the NZXT kraken x62

[GamerTrem]

Ok, hit the order button. The changes I made were the ram to the Gskill Sniper X 32gig of 2 16 gig sticks at 3600 speed, got an EVGA CLC 280 AIO, and I'll be removing the wireless card depending on the actual performance of the onboard wifi

A 550W is fine.
