Well I was just going on PC Part Picker and trying to find a decent price. This is by no means what I am going to buy. I was just going for a rough price. What would you suggest. What about the MBD? I know that X570 would be overkill but I want my stuff to be "future proof" whatever that term means.

Future proof imo means it will hold up to whatever upgrades you plan on adding.

You r'member that special ram from Intel? It doesn't exist anymore, they just follow AMD with CPU have ram controller.

I went for the size compressing route to mATX, though if you dont want to be on a dead form factor you could go back to your previous board and case choice.

 

You can definitely use weaker coolers since the 3600 maxes at about 120w power draw no matter what you do with it (excluding voltages that degrade the chip awfully fast).

Dont miss out on an SSD

Changed memory kit to go white, overall black and white theme

Cheaper 2TB HDD, 7.2k vs 5.4k RPM imo doesnt matter so much since they are still slow compared to SSDs.

because I hate Seagate. They fail quite often for me and data recovery for their drives seems more difficult than other brands, to the point that many small stores in my region specifically reject recovering data from their drives.

I didnt say it's a must either. Just so happens that it's cheaper to do so and the B450 Mortar is good enough to power the 12 core 3900X maxed out already

@seagate_surfer might be able to help you with this.

I have used many Seagate drives and never encountered any issue.

Dont even use a mechanical drive IMO. 

Get a Samsung 860 QVO 2TB SSD instead of the NVMe and HDD, create a 256GB partition for Windows, and secondary partition for all  your files, games, etc..

Less Power, less noise, more reliable and faster. The MTBF is typically about 5x that of a mechanical hdd.

Well I am a bit paranoid about cooling since I have had a lot of trouble with heat problems in general. Especially when it comes to University projects. But I do know that the noctua is a bit overkill.

H7 should be plenty for cooling down that 3600.

This is by far the best thing you can do, whether you have a 1% failure rate of 10% in a year, you should always make a backup of your data. It is unfortunate that you have had bad experiences with Seagate units. Whatever was the reason that caused the problems, just remember that we are available here if you want me to post about anything or also for any kind of assistance, I know that recently there was a video posted on youtube about data recovery companies and Seagate and in that video they say something similar ("stores in my region specifically reject recovering data from their drives"), but as you know, you have warranty coverage and there is also a replacement process that covers you in case a unit fails prematurely. The following is what I had posted last week about it in case you want to take a look:

There are some who consider it a matter of luck, others simply fight with one specific brand but that's just the consequence of being part of this, each person will always have their preferences based on their own experiences, so you cannot expect everyone to be 100% satisfied with one company or the other. One piece of information that can help you find a good HDD with good endurance is to look at the "Power-on hours". If it says 8760 (That's 1 year in hours) it is because the HDD can be turned on and constantly working 24/7, that feature does not ensure that the HDD is against nuclear bombs but assures you that the quality is superior to others because not all HDDs are made for 24/7 workloads, the vast majority are designed to work a normal workday of 8-10 hours and if they stay "on" all the time their lifespan is consumed faster. A model that meets that characteristic is the Pro version of BarraCuda 3.5 and also the IronWolf is another model with high endurance. And yes! the BarraCuda is cheap but it is also true that there are hard drives designed for each specific use, if you are not a person who turns off the computer every time you leave and no longer using it then use an HDD that is made to resist just that even in periods of low energy consumption. As a result of the price that the Seagate BarraCuda has, you also have to know that a large number of people prefer to use the BarraCuda until it burns and then buy a new one because it is cheaper than buying an HDD with enterprise-level standards, that, of course, has an impact on the number of reports and the perception of people, who without realizing that companies have a budget, are constantly changing the HDDs on their servers for another of the same model for the simple fact that it is budget-friendly and no other reasons.

 

I also saw that video and he is talking about LaCie Porsche Design models. Know that people will always tend to demand from the things they buy, the LaCie product line basically offers an cool and beautiful designs, however they are still external hard drives, that means you can not pretend to use an external HDD as if If it were an internal hard disk, external HDDs are designed to write less frequently than an internal hard disk, that is, if you remove the HDD from an external enclosure and use it as if it were internal you will end up consuming the lifespan in just a fraction of time, besides void the warranty of course. 

The product he is reviewing is identified or was sold as a system component, that is, an OEM product configured for the OEMs only as components for their systems and I cannot generalize and base all my experience on a video opinion of one person, unfortunately I do not know the background of this HDD but I am not surprised if that HDD was not inside its external case properly sealed when arrived that place, nobody knows what people do with the HDDs so I can't take this as a definitive answer about the quality of an HDD or since we don't know if the disc was used improperly or not.

What about this one? https://www.mightyape.co.nz/product/noctua-nh-u12s-slim-design-cpu-cooler/21728541

I have a friend who I swear works for those guys and suggests a noctua cooler. This one is smaller a costs quite a bit less.
