So I actually picked all these parts on Memory Express with their system builder page. The reason is I have never done any physical work on a PC expect put in a new graphics card in my current PC, therefore I don't really trust myself to build it all by myself and not end up blowing up the whole thing. So I will be using them to build it for me.

One thing I want to get checked is the CPU cooler, not sure if it is enough to cool it or if I should go with an AIO.

Any help or recommendations on what I should change would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks All

Don’t get a 3800x unless it’s cheaper than a 3700x. And you might be able to find a cheaper nvme, try a ADATA XPG Sx8200 Pro, and don’t buy a copy of Windows, just get a key off eBay for $10.

 

as well if you’re going for bang for buck I’d recommend a 5700XT over a 2070S

Looks great! Noctua coolers are very good, better than some AIOs.

 

What monitor do you plan to use with the 2070 super? What is the resolution and frame rate?

Looks good. Cooler is solid. Unless the 3800 is the same price as the 3700, it isn't worth it.

I am going with a 1440p monitor with a 144Hz refresh. I am getting this so it will upgrade from my current PC which runs 50 FPS at best when in the more demanding games. Also like the AMD with the extra threads to have something that I can do other things than gaming with.

 

the monitor is an Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ

This can be an option as well...

How trust worthy is buying windows 10 off of ebay or amazon?
