Good Build?

[Sam J]

Hey everyone!

 

I am currently looking at building a Dan case A4 V4.1 pc. Im currently in a core 500. Does this pcpartspicker build look like it would be good? I included my current monitor it will be driving as well.

Some of the parts you picked are pretty overpriced, you could save a couple hundred bucks by picking some different parts. The ram(which is too tall for the dan case A4 I believe) is 3000mhz and is overpriced due to the RGB that won't even be visible, you put two 860 1Tb drives when you can get a 2TB for much cheaper. The 600w platinum power supply is a complete waste of money at almost $300. You could even get a better CPU like the 3700x or even 3900x with the money saved.

Great list however, I'm pretty sure the memory you added is too tall for the Dan Case A4, and I know for a fact Silicon Power SSDs are utter garbage. I wouldn't recommend Silicon Power SSDs.

 

Edit: The Gskill Ripjaws V memory will fit.

Would this be a good build in a Dr. Zaber Sentry, minus the SATA SSDs and monitor, and going with a 2070s?

Never heard of that case before, but looking at it's dimensions and the configurator on the website for it, these parts should be compatible.

Any sources on that?

Me? I'm a computer technician that has seen a lot of them fail, one of the companies I do work for had another tech upgrade all of their computers to SSDs a couple years ago and and he used Silicon Power SSDs, 80% of them failed within the first two years, they had me replace all them with Samsung drives, I've had customers bring computers in that have had Silicon Power SSDs fail a lot more than any other manufacturer. The repair shop I work for used to use them as well and we have since stopped due to them having a much higher fail rate than any of the other SSDs we've used. My source on that is years of personal/professional experience.

Thanks. I didn't mean to be rude, I just wanted to know so that I could stop recommending them to people.
