Posted February 8, 2020 Hello everyone, I was thinking on building a computer, and I decided on the components below. I have had trouble choosing a graphics card (Gigabyte Model/open to change) because i cant decide between a 2070S 2x Windforce, or 2070S 3x Windforce. I had first decided on the 2070S 2x Windforce, but i got scarred away by the reviews. I heard people had trouble with the "rattling" fans, and the design of the Gigabyte model was "cheap plastic." I began to look at the 2070S 3x Windforce, but i wasn't looking to spending 500$ on the GPU (2x Windforce = 399$). My purpose for this build is streaming,recording, and Gaming. I would enjoy having great quality, but playing on ultra is not a priority for me. I do not have a deadline, and I am open to part suggestions other than those listed below except for CPU and Motherboard.

Only reason I chose the mobo was because I was trying to cheap, it should do him the basic job however. The cooler, I knew was overkill when I selected it, but when I redid his list, I still wanted to keep aspects of the build. As for the PSU, I put it in my Dad's music recording system, it works fine and haven't had any issues with it since it was purchased.

The cooler costs more than the cpu and motherboard. That makes no sense. There are lots of cheaper options if he wants a liquid cooler i.e Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 is just over $90. The psu might be fine for a lower end setup, but I wouldn't put it an a $1000 gaming pc. The op has an $1800 spec in his op so he can afford to get something better.
