The new build

Cr0w · August 4, 2019

Hi!

My old system is not cutting it anymore so I'm looking to build a new one, I don't have much experience or knowledge about pc building so any tips would be appreciated. I'm looking to spend around 1500 usd. I mostly use my pc for gaming, mmorpg, rpg and fps tiles. And I'm from Sweden.

I have tried putting together a build my self but I don't know if I have made any terrible mistakes.

Case: Corsair Carbide 275R

MB: MSI X570-A Pro

PSU: Take it from the old system? ( Coler Master 720w)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3,6GHz

GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Ventus HDMI 3xDP 8GB

RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB LED DDR4 3600MHz 2x8GB

Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus Series MZ-V7S250BW 250GB

Cooling: Corsair Hydro H100x

I'm planing to take my old Seagate HDD and using that as extra storage. The M.2 would be for my operating system and some frequently played games.

Total price in Sweden 1530 usd.

I have not decided if I should upgrade my monitor, I currently use an Asus 24" VN247H. The upgrade I have been looking at is the AOC CQ32G1, any thoughts on monitor choice?

Thanks for your help!

I would recommend getting a H100i version, the H100X has an older generation of Asetek water pump. The water pump of the H100i is the newer Gen6 that has improved reliability and lifetime. I would also consider getting a new power supply, maybe something that is Gold certified. Those pay for themselves over the time of ownership. Everything else looks good.
