My potential first PC.

[AcceptForce]

I am trying to build a Pc for the first time again, Never bought the last one due to expense and time issue. Now that the prices have gone down i am reconsidering it. This is the rig i have thought of so far. 

 

ASUS B360-F          - 116 $

Corsair TX550M 550W         -100 $

Kingston 480 GB M.2 SSD      - 84 $

Intel Core i5-9400F         - 200 $

Phanteks Eclipse P400S          - 93 $ 

Ballistix DDR4 16 GB        - 100 $

MSI GEForce RTX 2070 Armor      - 449 $

 

as monitor i chose AOC C24G1 24". 144hz and 1ms.  -221 $

 

Any tips are welcome. I have not checked if all parts are compatible yet so this is just the general idea.

Ryzen 5 3600 is same price and better performance, the chassi looks alright but there's not a lot of intake, just keep that in mind. Otherwise the specs are good (although you'll need a different mobo for ryzen)

The Ryzen 5 3600 is faster, runs cooler, uses less power and doesn't suffer from the 6-7 severe security issues in Intel CPUs

Also - MSI Armour cards run super hot - get a different cooler

The 9400f is hard to recommend at $150, let alone $200. 3600 is the better choice. Same fps, but with 6 more threads meaning no stuttering in current or future games. Here's a build:

Given you can afford just over $1300, it may be worth getting the 2070 Super if you really want ray tracing or need cuda cores.

You should get *atleast* 3200mhz cl16 ram and then oc it to get a performance boost. Ryzen cpus are heavily ram dependant

They are. So much so that going from 2666mhz to 3000mhz is a decent jump, and going from 3000mhz to 3200mhz is uh..not such a decent jump. 3000 and 3200 perform basically the same, within like 2-3% of each other. So it doesn't really matter which you pick.

true but i would suggest that you oc the 3200mhz ram to 3466 or even 3600mhz which would boost performance. The price difference between 3000mhz ram and 3200mhz cl16 ram is very little so going for 3200mhz would be better worth in my opinion

Yes and you may want to OC that, but what we don't know is whether the person who made the thread wants to do that. The chances are they probably don't mess around with overclocking.

 

The price difference is the same yes, but so is the performance. It really doesn't matter which you choose.

Yea depends on the person who made this thread  although i would just go for 3200mhz if there is little price difference as even a minor boost in performance is better than nothing

A minor boost being like 1% maybe...there is no difference. It doesn't matter.
