I did some research and got what I want. Just looking for tips and possible better choices. First time building and I don't want to mess up.

Tip #1: Go AMD. I've used Intel for years and switched to an AMD system a while ago, and it is definitely worth it. higher performance and lower price. No Intel product currently competes with an AMD product within it's price point, by nearly any metric, by a landslide.

 

Tip#2: Get an M.2 or at least a SATA SSD. For your price point you'll be infuriated with the speed of an HDD.

 

Tip#3: You don't need liquid cooling (unless you are doing heavy overclocking) or RGB (it can become a HUGE money trap for most people) with the money you have spent on RGB and water cooling, you could significantly upgrade your GPU and your CPU.

 

Tip#4 The RAM you picked is really over priced. Stick with some G.skill ripjaw or something less flashy and you'll save ~10-20% on RAM

budget and country? Ryzen is no-brainer in under 2000dollar gaming pc's. AMD ryzen will deliver much better performance than intel can (in budget builds) and ryzen comes with decent stoc cooler so you wont have to buy a new cooler.

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

 

Main PC:

Spoiler

|Ryzen 7 3700x, OC to 4.2ghz @1.3V, 67C, or 4.4ghz @1.456V, 87C || Asus strix 5700 XT, +50 core, +50 memory, +50 power (not a great overclocker) || Asus Strix b550-A || G.skill trident Z Neo rgb 32gb 3600mhz cl16-19-19-19-39, oc to 3733mhz with the same timings || Cooler Master ml360 RGB AIO || Phanteks P500A Digital || Thermaltake ToughPower grand RGB750w 80+gold || Samsung 850 250gb and Adata SX 6000 Lite 500gb || Toshiba 5400rpm 1tb || Asus Rog Theta 7.1 || Asus Rog claymore || Asus Gladius 2 origin gaming mouse || Monitor 1 Asus 1080p 144hz || Monitor 2 AOC 1080p 75hz ||

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

I appreciate the tips. Is there fans that have good performance and little sound compared to the ML120, 140? If there is a better price point than RGB fans it'll be nice to know.
