Building First Ever PC

Utuui · September 2, 2019

Hi, so I decided to build my first PC & I need your help! I searched up some parts and I think I'm set. Soon I'll be buying the parts but before I do, I want to share with you the parts I'm getting, they seem compatible, although finding the right power brick, RAM & motherboard seems tricky. Here are the parts:

ASRock x570 Taichi AM4 AMD https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813157883
Thermal Paste https://www.newegg.com/deepcool-z5/p/N82E16835856010
AMD RYZEN 7 3700X https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-7-3700x/p/N82E16819113567?item=9SIAFWZ9J40241
RTX 2070 SUPER https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/shop/geforce/?page=1&limit=9&locale=en-us
Power Supply https://www.newegg.com/thermaltake-smart-pro-rgb-bronze-ps-spr-0850fpcbus-r-850w/p/N82E16817153313

So far thats what I got. Im looking for a case but i think that's the easiest part. I'm missing the RAM because i don't know which to choose. Also i went with the RTX 2070 SUPER, i might upgrade later(gpu). By the way, do i have to buy windows 10 separate or does it come installed in the motherboard? I'm undecided what monitor as well. I'm primarily using this machine for gaming but since I'm going to school again soon, it would be a mixture of gaming and productivity.

Also I forgot to mention, I will be downloading many games on my PC. I heard that putting your OS in a HDD Is fine. I might get a 2 4TB SSD & about 10TB of HDD for pictures.

All your part just ok, if you plan to get a solid performance then I would recommand getting 16 GB of RAM ( 8x2) and for the PSU, since I first came to pc building I only trust 3 PSU brands : EVGA, Seasonic and Corsair

for that, this PSU might best bang for the buck right now : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073H33X7R/?tag=pcpapi-20

#1 : Don't underestimate PSU, you may save around few bucks but for a pc lasting for few years then a quality PSU will ensure all your parts work smoothly and safe..

#2 : For monitor getting a 24+ , full hd , ips display is nice for both gaming and productivity

#3 : mobo don't come with Window on it, except laptop...

#4 : wish you get solid and happy school year man ... peace !
