Insight Requested - Ryzen 7 2700x Build

[TheBuxDLux]

I have used PC Part Picker to make out the below list for a build I would hope to accomplish with some help with Holiday sales. The goal of the system is to live stream High Quality 1080/1440 gaming. Capture and edit gaming. Content creation. Oh I could keep going. I would like it to be well rounded and not need to do any $300+ upgrades till 2022.

 

Some real points of interest:

 

Overclocking CPU and RAM in approx 6 months after the addition of water cooling.

Capture and/or stream of Ray Trace gaming.

Utilization of 860 evo ssd to pre-cache 10TB HDD - Only plan to cache 256gb initially to match the internal cache of the HDD and see how that performs.

Hay, you can just copy the link to the text box and your thing appear in the screen

This pc will handle everything fine, but now the real talk 5700 XT or the 2070S they perform the same so which is cheaper is the better option.

And man wow 10tb harddrive that is just wow. Switch to 4tb one and buy r7 3700x for the price. ( i mean im not saying its bad choice, but its almost 300 bucks, but you already have 1,5tb ssd).

I've heard that the G3 psu has some problems, get corsair one or themaltake one with the similar price point.

-2700X's gain over the 2700 is really small, plenty of aftermarket coolers that cool and shine better than 2700X's stock cooler anyway

-2nd gen Ryzen also dont do well with high frame rate gaming compared to 3rd gen, 3700X is far more appealing imo in gaming. 2nd gen is still competitive in multithread workloads with its lower price.

-Weak board for 2nd gen Ryzen 7, not enough power delivery. Asus boards' lack of VRM temperature readable by the user makes it even worse as you wont know when it gets past 100C and I'm sure it will do so when you overclock. Future upgrades to 3rd gen 12 core / 16 core will do even worse, they wont run near their full stock performance at all.

-Expensive memory for just 3000MHz (3000MHz CL14 is a B-die bin but I dont think it can beat 3600MHz CL16/17 SK Hynix CFR/CJR or Micron Rev.E in potential, and absolutely slower with its XMP profile)

-Samsung SSDs, overpriced as usual. For SATA there's the Adata SU800, Crucial MX500, for NVMe there's the Adata SX8200 Pro, Corsair MP510, HP EX920/950. If you're going 3rd gen Ryzen and X570 board you can even go for PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs which so far, Samsung has released none.

-10TB HDD for what? Why would you need such a great capacity?

-caching for HDD is buggy with StoreMI, corruption isn't uncommon. I'd rather use 2 HDDs in RAID 0 or 3 HDDs in RAID 5

-I dont think the Strix card will do better than EVGA's XC Hybrid in performance (that's a cheaper card) or actually perform differently to an XC Ultra, nor do I find a design from the GTX 1080 Strix appealing anymore. This is entirely subjective.

-EVGA G3 has power protection issues, not sure if its fixed or not

 

I myself think MSI is the better board and GPU vendor for balance between RGB, performance and price (Asus is expensive, Asrock lack ssupport from many peripherals, Gigabyte has trash software), most importantly it makes the best B450 boards.

Oh Jurrunio Sama teach me the ways of building.

 

This is my building thoughts.

 

1. Good RGB compatibility. Aurasync from what I could tell had the best umbrella. If MSI is just as good what 450 board would be recommended?

2. Ryzen 7 should give me a performance boost in content creation/streaming than the Ryzen 5 line correct? If the "X" is a small bump then it can go.

3. The 2070 and 5700 seem to be on par but I had seen some information regarding rendering(Adobe) that the 2070/Nvidia processes these jobs better.

4. Correction to HDD. Its a 6TB drive that is being taken from an already existing NAS. The 10TB listed is an upgrade to the NAS.

5. Price to performance!!!
