What do you think of my build?

[MickStar717]

I am building my first rig and wanted to see what everyone thinks of the specs and whether I should change any parts before making it!

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X

GPU: GTX 1660 Ti

MOBO: Aorus B450 Pro Elite Wifi

PSU: Master Watt MWE 750W 

SSD: WD Green M.2 480GB

HDD: WD Green 2TB

Case Aerocool Cylon

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB

 

Thanks!!

Nothing in the build requires a 750w psu

Thats a pretty bad PSU, that case looks like a hotbox, and I would trust a WD Green drive with my data as securely as writing all my personal and identifying information on a piece of paper, ripping it cleanly in half, and placing it on top of a trash can in NYC.

 

In a short word, change your PSU, Case, and Storage.

 

PSU, go for a CM V750 as a cheap fully modular PSU.

 

Case, pick basically anything that doesnt have a glass or plexi front panel

 

Storage, WD Blue is leagues better for HDD's, and for SSD's I would never cheap out on one. Get a nice samsung or kingston drive, even if its lower capacity.

Yes, but PSU's also shouldn't be run at peak current draw. That's probably a ~500w system, which SHOULD put it right in the efficiency curve for a nice 750w unit like I suggested.

Are you buying these things new? This seems to be around the $600-700 price point and you really ought to consider second hand stuff.

Not a problem, remember to mention me so I see your replies!

It is AUD $1150, and I wanted to use all new parts as I have had many friends doing the same thing tell me that the 2nd Hand parts they've bought have died a month later. I also don't need a very powerful system for what I'll be doing.
