help on this build.

Genie Forever 21 · February 10, 2020

Hey guys, I'm very new to this thing. And I finally have the money to get my own dream PC. However it cost me at a very high price. I live in a country where our currency is small. So it cost super high. And this is my build. Im planning to stream games. But I'm asking others to help me build. They charge this build about 800USD +/-. Can u guys comment on this build? It's sort of my Max budget already cuz I still need to get a 144hz monitor, Mouse, keyboard, everything.

16gb adata value ram 2666mhz
Gtx 2060 Super

Is gaming the main purpose?

Yes. Streaming it live as well. Will it be able to support all the latest game at high graphics? and anything I need to change?

my Temptation would be to drop back to a 6core processor and get either faster ram or a b series motherboard. I’m not sure there even are any a series motherboards that can handle the power draw of an 8 core cpu. I might be wrong about that. A lot of checking will need to be done to make sure the motherboard can handle the CPU. Not merely technically but in actual practice.. The price difference between a capable and not capable motherboard is often not high.

What do u mean by faster ram? Increase it to 32gb? Or change the brand? B series motherboard? B450?

Increase to 3000mhz ram from 2666mhz. Ideally 3000mhz ram you can OC to 3200mhz. The problem with ryzen is it really really likes fast ram. A lot. The main difference performance wise between ryzen+ and ryzen2 seems to be that ryzen2 does automatic overclocking and has faster ram settings. Ryzen+ also takes more power which means more motherboard VRM is needed. Dropping to 6 cores lowers VRM requirements. Many b350/b450 boards won’t even take an 8 core cpu effectively.
