Hello,

 

Here is something better (more expensive too but still under 2k) :

I would also go for a 2080 if it is for gaming. I would also get an i7 instead of i9. But, I don't know what your PC is for.

I would like to game a lot in 1080p and Stream it meanwhile.
That is why I thought to get an i9.

[Niklos]

Well, still, I would go for i7 and a better graphics card

edit : 3900x is a little less expensive than i9. You may want to consider it. I agree that, today, it is not as good as the i9 for gaming, but it's higher core count makes it probably more future proof for gaming.

It is also a better all around CPU than i9

I will look into the Ryzen chip, thank you!
I don't see that much of a difference between the 2070 super vs 2080 super. 5-10 FPS difference, while in my country(Hungary), there is more than a $200 difference.

My exact plan is to play Doom Eternal in 1080p and stream it to my friends, at a fairly stable 60+ framerate, and a futureproof gaming experience!

You could take advantage of Nvidia's NVENC encoding for streaming, and possibly go for a Ryzen 3700X instead of the 9900K and get better bang for your buck, and you'll also have the ability to upgrade to a much higher-end (12C or even 16C) CPU down the line, when they drop in price.

 

Basically, something like this (similar CPU performance, better & more storage and better GPU):

- Swap the motherboard for Gigabyte Pro (-WiFi) or ASRock Taichi, way better VRM.

- You can get 3600MHz 16CL RAM for this price

- 500GB SSD for 110$ ? That's nuts. It's price of 1TB one.

- If you like CM aesthetics i'd recommend MB511 or H500 instead, airflow matters.

- While this PSU are very good, you don't need 850W for this PC or any gaming one in fact, 550W would be enough, 650W if you want some headroom for workstation-level activities.

- Also if your budget is 2k$ you can get RTX2080 Super. And possibly 32GB RAM kit, isn't really needed for gaming right now but if you plan to use this PC as workstation it's practically a must have, swap the PSU back to Deepcool 850W one then.

Thank you for your suggestions!
I changed my motherboard to the Gigabyte Aorus Pro and found HyperX 3600Mhz CL17 for almost the same price!
I'll look into the SSD.

Sadly, I don't have that power supply at the shop I am buying my computer, but I have these two at similar pricepoint and 650W.
Can you check which would be better and fitting?

The PCPartPicker cries about some

"The Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI ATX LGA1151 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it."

Is this a necessary thing, or just a nice extra?

Thank you again!

Ahhh the rookie mistake. If you're not buying in dollars, do not use dollars in any part of your post.

It doesn't make sense, as the prices aren't comparable when converted, and there's a good chance that the items suggested aren't even available where you live, or won't make sense when the prices of comparable products are different than they are in the US.

 

To get actually relevant help, post the site you'll be buying from.

 

As for your list:

• I wouldn't get an MSI motherboard
• If the SSD is your only storage, 500GB isn't nearly enough
• Considering Deepcool either lies about their products, or doesn't know the components within them, I'd probably avoid purchasing their items

If you're not in a huge hurry, wait. We're only a few months away from new releases.

Why wouldn't you reccomend a msi board and what manufacturer do you reccomend?

Thank you for your welcome!
Yea, I am a little bit rookie in the PC building scene.
The SSD will be only used for OS and daily used softwares, no games or applications will be run from that.

I already changed the motherboard to the Gigabyte z390 Aorus Pro, suggestion of Juular.
I will change the PSU according to your info.

And yes, I posted here, since most of the products are available here in Hungary.
In Hungary, there is not a site that is comparable to this.
I read the forums many times, and people here is mostly kind and helpful, I only had good experiences here.

I've had nothing but problems with virtually every one I've owned, my father has had similar experiences, as has the one friend that's used them.

Sure, they might have the odd good board here and there, but I will never suggest them again.

 

Asus, Gigabyte, AsRock. Depends on the price point as to which.

I'd look at the price difference. If you're buying a 500GB SSD and a 1TB HDD, it's often the same price or less to just get a 1TB SSD. Sure, you don't have quite as much space, but you can fit everything that runs on the SSD, and a 1TB HDD for mass storage is cheap enough to easily add later. Especially with a high budget.

 

Yes, but when you give a link with USD pricing, people will suggest alternative builds using that information. Not only does it waste their time, it's irrelevant to you, since the pricing doesn't compare directly with what you will be paying. You don't have to have a PCPartPicker site, it can simply be the site you're buying from. Parts numbers are all the same, and it's generally not hard to navigate them.

I've never had problems with my 3 msi boards and a friend of mine neither, you might've just been unluck. @dizmo

I've owned 6, my father has owned 4. All have had issues of some kind, or just been of generally worse quality than other boards of the same price.
Sure, it might be luck. Or it might be that MSI generally just makes inferior motherboards.

Case in point: their X570 boards.

BQ! one are old, but CM one would be good. About that EPS connector, exactly as said in that note, if you plan to OC extremely that CPU it might be of use for you but judging by your cooler choice you probably wouldn't to the degree where it would matter. Well, in general, since you're not buyng in US and we can't recommend you smth without knowing prices, look at PSU tier list :

Respectfully, i disagree. This PSU are indeed very good quality one, same CWT platform as on Bitfenix Whisper for example.

Yea, but because I added a budget ceiling, any suggestion added can help TREMENDOUSLY.
Like yours with the noMSI rule!

I'll look into the SSDs.
If anyone want to see the actual config, there is the site i'll be buying the PC from.
It has english language, but only my country's currency(HUF).

What counts as Extreme? Would be 5Ghz on all cores at the i9 be considered extreme?

It has to do more with buying from a company with integrity than every product being bad. Don't reward a company that practices deception.

Right, but you can do that without mentioning USD or linking to a US website

You can also give your budget in HUF, and they can work from there with the site you've provided. Currency doesn't really require knowledge of Hungarian.

It's simply a number.

I'd say 5.2 or 5.3 on 24/7 is extreme, but I wouldn't run my 9900k @5Ghz with just one eps connector

The budget is around 600.000 HUF then, and the site is www.ipon.hu
I don't want to waste anyones time, sorry about that really.

nor you should say all of their products are bad based off the past

 

dq-m is a good CWT GPU, and should be seen as one, not it being bad "because it's deepcool", because that way there's no company you should buy from

Haha, it's not entirely your fault, people just tend to go off and suggest builds...it's like shopping for yourself but not having to spend the money
