Newbee AMD pc build

[HenryCrun]

After watching PC builds on Linus, Paul's Hardware and Bitwit I decided to take the plunge and build my own AMD base pc with a small twist in the storage drive.

Here is a list of the the items in my build. I even went to the trouble of making sure that the memory was on the qvl list for the motherboard and the rysen 3600 chip.

I'll will also be adding a 4tb mechanical Barracuda drive.

 

As it turns out it was cheaper for me to get a 2tb nvme drive for my storage than a sata ssd or m.2 type. It'll also remove one more set of cables for me to manage.

I wont be doing any extreme overclocking, My main 3 games will be Doom, Wolfenstein Young Blood and Rise of the Tomb Raider.

I'm guessing that the the two 140mm front fans and the rear 140mm fan will suffice. I am thinking of adding a bottom 140mm and two top 120mm fans if temperatures start to get toastie. I'm also planning to remove or just leave the front case door open to improve the air flow.

 

If you guys out there have any comments or suggestions I would appreciate them.

You didn't add a case.

Get a msi b450 or a asus/gigabyte x570.

Get 3600c16 ram if possible. 

Airflow works better with the case closed, if the case is decent.

Samsung ssd's are overpriced, also b450 doesn't support 2 m.2 drives

Get corsair or g skill ram

 

What case will you get? I recommend Phanteks cases.

Couldn't find the "tweezers". But really the most important thing I learned from the build guides is to spend 90 percent of your time in the planning stage. What goes with what, cable management, preparation etc.

Case is a Fractal Design Define R6. Comes preinstalled with 2 front 140mm fans and 1 rear 140m fan. Torn up about whether I should have a bottom 120mm and two top 120mm (with the cover removed) fans as well. What do you guys think and should they pwm?

Imo there is no need for more fans , at least until you build the system and see the actual temps. If you not happy with them only than add more fans
