3950x Build

[tdot]

Is the Crosshair VIII Hero or the AORUS MASTER best for this type of build?

 

Also any other suggestions to improve on it.. I'm hoping to get it ordered tonight as i already have the CPU.

No red flags here as far as I am concerned.

 

What will you be using this computer for?

[LukeSavenije]

no red flags, though i should note ventus is rather loud from what i've seen

 

i'll wait here as well to compete with luna

Is the ventus louder than that chipset-fan? I'm out, almost the whole setup is a red-flag to me.

The Ventus is one of the louder ones, the cooler is not very good hence it's one of the cheaper cards.

 

The Chipset Fan on the Aorus Master is fairly inaudible and shouldn't be an issue.

 

What's wrong with this build though for you to claim "almost whole setup is a red flag"?

if this is a gaming rig, the biggest red flag is spending only £300 on gpu out of a £2300 pc.

Updated GPU

[boggy77]

again, if this is for gaming only, it's waaaay too much cpu power for way too little gpu.

you don't get any performance increase in games over a 3700x and all that money could be spent on a 2080 super, which would really make a difference

Sorry forgot to mention i'm going to use the GPU from my current build for now. I'm thinking about getting a 5700 at a later date.

You still didn't say what is your purpose for this computer, like stated above if this is only for gaming you have severely overspent on CPU.

 

Greatest majority of games don't use more than 8 threads, the gaming potential of the R9 3950X is about the same as the R5 3600... so can you specify?

Seems as if the small chipset fan isn't that inaudible.

The big red flag is that we still don't know what the purpose of that system is. Video-editing? RederingThen 32gb is somewhat low-end. 2 different NVMe-SSDs, one for scrub? At 1tb each?  6Tb 5.4K HD for all the data, but as a fixed internal drive? No, I'm out.

[Princess Luna]

That's why we asked him more than once on what he plans on doing with the computer.

 

The build all in all is fine, but we can only say if it's the right build for his needs if we know his needs.

Did hey ever answer what this would be for?

 

Either way if it is for "gaming" than yeah 3950X while a value is just overkill and I would say step down to a 3900X, 3700X or even 3600X
Go Noctua NH-D15S for better RAM compatibility 

970 EVO are kind of a waste of money IMO I would just go Intel 660P or whatever you can get at $100 or cheaper for a 1TB

PCIe gen 4 NVME drives are totally not worth it yet

Now if you aren't just gaming and you read and write a ton of files ignore my suggestions
