Upgrade For Gaming

wjm22400

So i have posted a few posts asking for help on my upgrade, well I finally fixed it and would like to know what you think. 

 

I am going for a White black yellow theme, I am a Corsair fan boy. Some of the prices are not available so I'm going to have to find them or I'm going to need help finding a new one. I'm using this to game and possibly stream. I need help finding a monitor, and speakers. 

 

Thank you for any and all feedback

Asus totally suck in Z390, MSI Carbon or even the Tomahawk are much better boards.

Can you show me what you would recommend instead?

Not bad.

  • Why do you have 2 SSDs? Don't bother with NVME at lower capacities, it's no faster than SATA in 99% of use cases. Especially gaming.
  • I'd maybe look into a better/different case. If you're set on spending the money on RGB, might as get one with a see through front.

Changes I'd make:

  • Grab a small SATA SSD if you're looking to separate Windows, and then another larger, faster SATA or cheap NVME drive.
  • I found the G.Skill KM780 to be vastly superior in build quality and feel to the K70 series.
  • I wouldn't waste all that money on fans, but each to their own.

Just one completely dedicated to windows only, the only reason I chose that case is because it was white and had the see through panel. What would you recommend? 

 

What ssd's do you recommend? the keyboard in all honesty will be way better than what i have now which is like a old alienware keyboard and the fans were for rgb and better airflow.

I'd also see if you can find a G2 PSU from Evga, I believe they were better. 

 

For speakers, Makie makes pretty good powered monitors. CR5s are nice of you have the space.

Could roll back the memory choice, I just choose this as it's cheap for a kit rated this high

 

This graphics card caught my eye as it's silver + black + gold. The Challenger D model is black and yellow but the copper heatpipes are visible and I doubt its performance to be that good. That said there's no 3rd party reviews on the Taichi X either so it could end up bieng a massive flop like the XFX Thicc.

 

Changed case for airflow. Corsair's 275R is also a viable option and overall a smaller case closer to the H500, though dont get the 275R airflow as the front panel is hideous.

I have had bad experiences with Radeon Gpus and I'm trying to convert, I think I would keep that ram that you chose because I've heard good things and the psu sounds good as well.

There is no way in hell that Thermaltake keyboard is better then K70, why are you giving false information?

 

And where in hell did you get that "Modern computers don't really get that hot" thing? They get hot a lot, especially if the airflow of the case isn't good. 2 fans as pull in front on AIO, 1 pull at bottom, 1 push at back and 1 push at top -> 5 fans and great airflow. Modern computers are most likely to run hotter than "old computers".

I like the build, how about the black and white Meshify C? I build my brother's PC in the all black case, was such a nice case, wanted it myself, it'll be a better choice than the Define R6 - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BBrmP6/fractal-design-meshify-c-white-tg-atx-mid-tower-case-fd-ca-mesh-c-wt-tgc

 

I'm going to be that guy, that is just wrong, maybe a 650W PSU? No you don't need it, 550W will be fine, I'm sure if you've plugged it into a PSU calc it'll show that, but what people forget is with a 0 RPM mode, mostly you could be running at, normally its 50% load or below, I have a Corsair HX750 and I cleaned it after 2 years recently, or I should actually say, I didn't need to clean it, the dust filter on my case was perfectly clean, because the PSU fan never spins, because with my 7700k and 1080ti, everything else, I probably rarely use more than 400W, so the fan doesn't need to spin.

 

And the thing is, it usually isn't much more to go up to 650, 750 even 850W some times without having to sacrifice a reputable brand, modularity, or efficiency, mine is platnium, probably gold and above is fine (even 80+ and 80+ bronze is really probably ok), but yeah a nice to have.

Why are you forcing AMD when it sucks? He clearly need only help with monitor and speakers as he said which you didn't even provide and made it more expensive for $200.

I'm going to be that guy, that is just wrong, maybe a 650W PSU? No you don't need it, 550W will be fine, I'm sure if you've plugged it into a PSU calc it'll show that, but what people forget is with a 0 RPM mode, mostly you could be running at, normally its 50% load or below, I have a Corsair HX750 and I cleaned it after 2 years recently, or I should actually say, I didn't need to clean it, the dust filter on my case was perfectly clean, because the PSU fan never spins, because with my 7700k and 1080ti, everything else, I probably rarely use more than 400W, so the fan doesn't need to spin.

 

And the thing is, it usually isn't much more to go up to 650, 750 even 850W some times without having to sacrifice a reputable brand, modularity, or efficiency, mine is platnium, probably gold and above is fine (even 80+ and 80+ bronze is really probably ok), but yeah a nice to have.

Okay what psu power would you reccomend?

I like the build, how about the black and white Meshify C? I build my brother's PC in the all black case, was such a nice case, wanted it myself, it'll be a better choice than the Define R6 - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/BBrmP6/fractal-design-meshify-c-white-tg-atx-mid-tower-case-fd-ca-mesh-c-wt-tgc

Also I went with the R6 because I'm trying to go for a simplistic look not to much flare besides the side panel

Good question, and it made me do research so, the zero rpm and how many watts aren't 'really' related. Whether your fan spins or not is about about how hot it gets, I'd love someone to school me a bit here, but essentially for the Corsairs once they go above 50C the fan starts spinning. I can't really confirm if a more efficient PSU will stay colder and therefore spin their fans less often.

 

As a reminder pcpartpicker does say you'll only need 430W, I peer tested this calculation using the Corsair PSU calc, here is the link to that, result is a recommended 722W at the very worst case scenario, 100% TDP, 5.2Ghz CPU overclock, +350Mhz core & 500Mhz memory GPU overclock, all of the accessories that I could think of, all of the fans.

 

So perhaps the 750W or 850W Corsair RMx in White?

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/dnhKHx/corsair-rmx-2018-850-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020188-na

+3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V@70.8A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@3A

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/p9YLrH/corsair-rmx-white-2018-750-w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020187-na

+3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V@62.5A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@3A

 

650W is only $90 with mail in rebates, so $20-$60 for white cables, and potentially less dust, depending how you look at it

+3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V@54A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@3A

 

So on the 12V rail, its the difference between 70A, 62.5A and 54A. multiply by 12v 648W, 750W, 849.6W, you probably notice the pattern here.

 

Your EVGA SuperNOVA PSU

+3.3V @ 22A, +5V @ 22A, +12V @ 45.8A, +5Vsb @ 3.0A, -12V @ 0.5A, hey presto 549.6W

 

According to this WCCF Tech article for the GPU in your list, they you only needed 239W on the 12V rail

They also come with white cables-CP-9020187-NA-Gallery-RMx-White-750-07.

So in summary, a 550W PSU seems like it will support your GPU and other components in the system, as you can see above increasing the total PSU wattage mostly effects the 12V rail, as you move down and depending on your brand the other rails do start to decrease but not by much.

 

So what is most important is the feature it offers, they should all run fine

Alright thank you for the help, I think I will go with the 750 as reccomended.
