New Desktop Ryzen Build (HELP PLEASE)

[DB1997]

Hello, I am planning on building a new desktop soon and I have one spec'd out but I was wanting some tips or suggestions if anybody had them. I had a post going in the CPU section of the forum but it devolved into a kind of full PC post so I thought I should bring it here.

 

I am in the USA and I am looking to spend around $2000 at most for the PC itself not including monitor or peripherals. I need a mechanical keyboard and a monitor as well. I have found what I think to be the best bang for the buck when it comes to 1440p monitors and I will list it with my other PC parts.

 

I was trying to somehow budget in a 2080 Super but that is hard to do.

 

I will be doing CAD, Solidworks, and other 3D design as well as gaming with this. I plan on only running one monitor as my desk space isn't large enough for more.

 

I am upgrading because I have a nice laptop from Eluktronics with a 1060 and an i7-8750H in it with 16GB of ram but I use it so much that I have already killed one battery on it. Luckily I have a new one on the way under warranty but I would like to have the laptop just for for school work and on the go designing if I can help it.

 

The monitor that I have found and like the best is this: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Predator-XB271HU-bmiprz-2560x1440/dp/B06ZXZ3QBD/ref=sr_1_13?keywords=monitors&qid=1564068880&refinements=p_n_feature_eleven_browse-bin%3A17726576011%2Cp_n_feature_thirteen_browse-bin%3A17751773011|17751775011%2Cp_n_feature_fourteen_browse-bin%3A17751786011|17751789011&rnid=17751784011&s=pc&sr=1-13&th=1

 

I have also found Windows 10 Pro on ebay for cheaper.

 

Thank you for your help!

Left some room for the 2080, you could still spring for the super with this budget. The Evo line from Samsung is too expensive for its own good. The water cooler is only good for looks really, the stock cooler on the 3900X is plenty fine (and looks great anyway)

Any recommended substitutes for the Evo lineup? And the only thing I am worried about with the stock cooler or the Dark Pro 4 is if they have an aluminum heat sink. I know the Dark Pro 4 does and if you use Conductonaut then they say only use it with copper heat sinks.

It's inadvisable that you use liquid metal for the CPU, the risk is very high. Other performance compounds like kryonaut would perform excellent without being electrically conductive. My recommendation for replacing the Evo is in my parts list

A good NVMe will usually be x4 lanes instead of x2 lanes, but it matters more to people who look at the transfer rate than in the endurance because they don't need endurance but speed when moving files back and forth, cases can vary greatly from one to another but you look at the metric called TBW (Terabytes Written), there are even some SATA type that exceed NVMe devices in this area, of course the maximum cycles that an SSD can be filled and emptied also depends on the storage capacity, then the greater the storage capacity greater It will be the TBW. And this as I said before is what determines the hardness of an SSD and not the transfer rates.
