Building a new gaming PC

[Pooier]

Hello,

 

Im pretty new in PC building I'm unsure if this build would be all right. I mainly will use it for gaming like League of legends, Counterstrike and Call of Duty.

Are there any changes that would be better? I live in the Netherlands if thats relevant by any means.

You seem to be missing RAM. Add a 2x8GB kit of 3600MHz ram, preferably from the approved list of the motherboard (search for "MSI X470 GAMING PLUS MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard QVL").

Also, you can find windows licences on various sites for very cheap.

 

For those types of game it's a bit of an overkill system, but it should be good if you move into AAA gaming or go 1440p monitor.

I've noticed and i edited the ram in the PC. I know it's an overkill system but I plan to use it for a long time. And maybe will use it for IT purposes. 

Is the PSU any good? or is it better to go a bit up on the Wattage ?

And how about the ssd, are there any better options for a 1 tb ssd?

If you're wanting to stick with the 2080 Super I would up the wattage a bit tbh, just to avoid issues in the future with power consumption. If you want to stick with the full modular design you can go with an RMx or something. 

 

Edit: As for the SSD, personally I would take a look at a smaller NVME SSD for your OS and primary games, and you can go smaller on the storage SSD as well, probably around 500Gb for the storage and 250 for the NVME should be fine and not much difference in price overall. 

 

I made some minor changes to your list:

be quiet pure power 11 600W is cheaper than the one you picked and should be better.

Crucial P1 1TB is 10 euro more expensive, but much faster.

Not as cheap as the Tomahawk. Both of those Asus boards are around 200 Euros. The Tomahawk is 111 Euros.
