New Pc Build *LONG*

[Anoraked]

Hi all,

 

Bit of a long post here. Just want to properly explain my choices of the parts and don't seem like I don't care about the responses.

 

PC Partpicker list:

EDIT:

 

Will be used for gaming, some video editing

 

No peripherals needed

 

CPU (Ryzen 5 2600):

 

This is just a quick CPU until i can upgrade to the 3600, 3700 or 3700x. I'll overclock this for some extra performance but its really just a stand in for the moment.

 

CPU Cooler (Corsair H100i RGB Platinum):

 

As mentioned before, I'm overclocking the CPU and I want a decent cooler for the upgrade to come.

 

Motherboard (MSI B450 Tomahawk):

 

Just a good motherboard for the price and can support Ryzen 3rd GEN so I see no wrong!

 

RAM (16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB 3200mhz):

 

From reviews I've read it preforms well and I can sync the RGB to the H100i, so it will look good.

 

Storage (1x 250GB m.2, 1x 500GB 2.5inch, 1x 2TB HDD):

 

I've heard that Adata m.2s have the same performance as the 970s but for about half the price. 

 

m.2: boot and most used programs

 

2.5inch: Other programs

 

HDD: Mass storage.

 

GPU: (RTX 2080 OC Edition):

 

I understand the the 2600 is bottlenecking the 2080, but its so I don't have to upgrade for a few years and I can overclock it.

 

PSU (Corsair 750W Gold Rated 80+):

 

Has enough wattage for this build and any additional potential future upgrades.

 

Case (Dukase v2):

 

I'm half-watching a build guide for this as this is my first time building a PC, and this is the case they were using so I suppose I'll just use this case.

 

Case Fans (3x Corsair 120mm RGB):

 

Good quality fans, and can sync again so will look cool.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I really want this PC to be a good build, which is why this is so long.

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

 

And finally if you've read this far, I just want to say thanks  !

Get a 3700X and ditch the pointless cooler. The included Wraith Prism is more than enough. You also shouldn't manually overcloxk. Just enable PBO and XFR2 and the CPU will automatically give better results than you could ever achieve by manually setting fixed clocks..the only way to beat PBO is LN2 or severe overvolting on a 360mm loop.

I'd still go for a better CPU cooler for better temps, from what I've read the 3000 series does get hot with PBO on full blast, and the coolers got nerfed this time around. Better temps will let it boost better too. Defo get a decent air tower though, AIOs cost like twice the price for the same performance while adding a bunch more points of failure.

Only the spire lost copper. Prism still performs better than most 50-60$ coolers and keeps the 3900X in check

The build list link is set private so we can't see it.

 

Buying a cpu with the intent of upgrading it in the near future is a waste of money. As others have suggested, ditch the unneeded aio and use the stock cooler. Invest the savings in a 3600X or 3700X cpu.

 

Check pricing on the B450 Tomahawk Max, if it is available in your area. It is an improvement over the non Max version and worth a small added cost.

 

Check pricing of the RMX (2018) 650W psu. In some areas it is going for the same price as the 550W version and has more than enough capacity for this build, including future upgrades.

 

Personally I prefer larger drives to several smaller units; (when necessary they can be split into logical units). You may find that the cost of a 1TB Intel 660p or Crucial P1 is lower than the M.2 & 2.5" ssd. Both have higher performance than SATA III ssd but lower than something like a Samsung 970. Given the use case, the difference would not be noticeable.
