new AMD build

[jeremymwilson]

Never had an AMD system before but now it seems absolutely worth it for the price/performance.

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply  ($96.96 @ OutletPC)

I'm going for the Dark Rock Pro as I've read that the 3700x (with the wraith cooler) runs hot. I'm not fussed about overclocking as I don't think it's necessary for my needs, but I do want a cool and quiet system.

This is for ultrawide 1440p gaming. I've already ordered the monitor - MSI Optix MAG341CQ. 

Re the motherboard, I don't need wifi as I have a wired network, but as it's the cheapest MSI x570, is it still a good board?

Any thoughts/problems you can see?

 

Cheers.

thanks. I think I agree on the motherboard and memory you chose. re the Noctua and BitFenix, any reason you would choose those rather than the BeQuiet and evga Supernova, rather than price?

[VEXICUS]

Evga supernova g3 has issues with over current protection. So I wouldn't recommend it. That bitfenix one is a great unit.

Noctua nh d15 and be quiet dram rock pro 4 perform similarly with a slight edge to noctua. But the be quiet  looks more attractive. Noctua was cheaper,so I chose it. If you don't like the look of that noctua, then you can add a chromax kit on top of it.
