Advise on build

[averydayer]

This is about my fifth full revision to my build plan with the only thing staying the same is the cpu. Any suggestions as to the parts I've put together would be much appreciated. I'm planning on using it for audio work in a home studio and gaming at 1080p ultrawide. I live in the us.

Hi!

I'd probably go for a better SSD such as Corsair MP510, or a smaller NVMe boot SSD and another SATA SSD for storage, but other than that it looks really good.

Hey, thanks for the response!

 

What makes the MP510 a better option than the 660p? This is going to be a single user system that will largely only be running one application at a time. To my knowledge, many of the benefits of better NVMe drives come from work loads that better saturate the bandwidth. I could be off base, but thats what a few videos I watched seem to say

Thanks for the reply! 

Why the difference in case? I was kind of confused by the differences between cases in the MasterBox line, and just chose the mb511 because it is popular.

 

Also I've been debating the PSU a lot, I know that the efficiency increase from gold rating to platinum rating is mostly negligible, but it seems like having an extra 100 watts for 25 is worth it. especially because people on other threads have repeatedly been saying that I should go for better PSU.

I'll recommend something like this instead...
