Hi,

this will be my first build from ground up.

Did some upgrading to my previous HP prebuild systems or swapped a PSU, graphics card and things like that for friends.

I would like to get feedback from you guys if I am missing something.

My main use case is gaming. Might want to start edit some GoPro videos in the future.

Other things i do won't bother this machine anyway (some coding, photo editing, ).

At the moment I only own a 32" 1080p 60Hz television as a monitor.

Going to upgrade the monitor soon after the PC build.

Would be a 27" 1440p high refresh rate monitor (either LG 27GL850 or HP Omen X 27).

Does anyone have an idea why PC Part Picker lists an incompatibility for the Case and the Graphics card?

Any input concerning compatability or anything else appreciated!

managed to fit a 2080 super in your budget. this one will fit in the case as well. you don't need such an expensive motherboard and you also won't benefit from gen 4 ssd's for gaming. 600W are more than enough for psu

first: thanks for your feedback!

The chosen mainboard lacks the internal USB 3.2 Gen 2 header to polulate the front I/O of the case.

If not for that, I would could have easily chosen the Asus X570 Strix-I Gaming.

I would like to stay within ASUS boards because I am kind of familiar with their BIOS because of a friend who got an ASUS board (doing tech support for him ... :D ).

PSU: Corsair SF series is semi-passive so I thought I would have more headroom before the fan of the PSU starts to spin (around 30% load).

Storage: valid point, no gamer needs a gen 4 drive for sure. It would be a nice to have mostly, had it planned mainly because I hate to do a clean install of Windows (which I should do if there is a hardware swap of the C drive i guess).

Graphics: I know, the RTX 2080 Super is way faster than the RX 5700 XT, but isn't the consensus that it is not that great value? Might want to save a few bucks there and upgrade later on (RTX 3000 or big Navi maybe when they get cheap)

I guess my biggest money pits are mainboard and storage.
Those Cooler Master fans look awesome (frind of mine got them in his Lian Li PC O11 Dynamic) but they are quite loud and do not have a "pleasing quietness" to them (sound silly when I write it down :o ).

from gigabyte's website:

Integrated in the CPU:

  1. 4 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports on the back panel

Integrated in the Chipset:

  1. 1 x USB Type-C™ port on the back panel, with USB 3.2 Gen 2 support
  2. 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports (red) on the back panel
  3. 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports available through the internal USB header
  4. 2 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports available through the internal USB header

with the amount of case fans you have, you won't hear the psu. and i don't think they start spinning at 30%, but at a fixed wattage when passive cooling isn't enough anymore, so they both will probably spin the same.

current gen4 drives can't even fill the pcie4 bandwith. i'd wait until they can before investing in one.

agree, it's your choice. in that case, go for this:
