First PC

[Tomato16]

I have been wanting to make a PC for the past couple months now. My budget is $1,500 and I have made a build using PC Part Picker. I don't know about PC's, so I do not even know if it is a good build. I plan to play Fortnite, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, and Rocket League. I may stream in the future, but I am not sure yet.

You will need one if you OC like the Dark Rock 4 or Noctua NH U14S.

Im a literal noob for PC's. What does this mean exactly lol?

[SpookyCitrus]

The Wraith cooler that comes with the 2700x has the same cooling power as the hyper 212, no need in paying extra when you get a perfectly fine cooler for free with the CPU. Also added an NVME SSD which is essential for any new gaming or even standard home computer. You don't want to have a computer these days and not have an SSD for your OS and some games. The Ryzen 5 3600 would be better for gaming however only by a little bit, and the extra cores and threads on the 2700x would be worth it for streaming and considering you can get it cheaper than the 3600 it may be worth it for that, if you are going to be streaming go with the 2700x if it's just gaming then go for the 3600. The CXM is also a pretty meh power supply, the new 2019 EVGA GD's are great.

OC means overclock so i guess you won't

The Wraith Max that comes with the 2700X is perfectly fine for stock and overclocked it's been heavily tested, now if you're planning on extremely hefty OC's then a new one would suffice. But if OP just plans on running stock and or with a slight OC it is more than fine.

The B-450 Strix-F isn't a good motherboard though for a 2700x

 

Also the stock CPU cooler is enough it can run really loud but since OP won't be OC it's OK

Thank you for the explanation and the build idea. Really do appreciate it. But on PC part picker it says, "The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled." What does this mean?

The B-450 Strix-F isn't a good motherboard though for a 2700x

The Strix B450-F is more than capable of handling a 2700x stock and slightly OC'd, any of the cheaper B450 boards are going to have an issue handling the 2700x completely maxed out with a hefty OC. If OP plans on running a hefty OC, a higher end B450 or an X470 would be recommended but since OP doesn't plan to and the 2700x already runs great at stock it shouldn't be an issue.

I agree but why not use https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XJbCmG/msi-b450-a-pro-max-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-a-pro-max since it's better for less ?

The build you had recommended me says, "The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled." What does this mean?

It means 2 of the ports you plug sata harddrives or sata ssds into are disabled once you plug in anything into the m.2 slot since they share the same connection. You should still have more sata slots to spare so I wouldn't worry about it too much. That being said you can always opt for a different motherboard.

Ok thanks. Could you look over the build that SpookyCitrus made for me and tell me if there can be any improvements?

That board while being good for the price is not better than Strix in terms of features. The only difference between the two is the MAX is updated to better handle 3rd gen processors. The best MAX board of the lineup is the Tomahawk MAX which is my go to board for new Ryzen builds, but the price has recently jumped up on them and for the most part they are unavailable so with the price to features of the Strix and it still being more than capable of handling the 2700x, I don't see a problem with it.

it's only barely able to handle the 2700 overclocked to 4.2Ghz, and that's with airflow. the B450-A Pro has the same VRMs as the tomahawk while only having a different heatsink. Plus, both the old and new tomahawks are cheaper than the B450-F.
