New Build for Rig

[footman099]

So I've come up with a build for myself and I think it looks pretty good. Just have a couple questions regarding a couple of the components. This will also be my first build so if there are any problems or errors that I might have overlooked your comments would be much appricated.

First for my CPU, I decided to go with the Ryzen 7 3800x. I wanted to go with that because I will be doing more video editing than gaming and so I wanted the extra cores, and I might be over clocking in the future.

 

Next for the Motherboard, I would go for the B450 Tomohawk Max. Only thing about the MoBo is it seems almost impossible for stores to keep that model in stock as everywhere sells out as soon as they restock. I have a second pick, the ROG Strix b450-f. I know it says its for second gen AMD chips but I know that some 3rd gen chips can work in older boards. But I don't want to do that until I know that its true.

 

Then for the graphics card I went with the RX 5700 XT. I went with that because I heard that it's benchmarks are either equal or exceed the RTX 2060 super and is not much worse than the 2070 super compared to its price. Also I heard that lots of the driver problems people were experience have been getting fixed so that is not as much of an issue anymore.

 

For the memory, g.skill Ripjaw V series (2 x 8gb) I got DDR4 3600 because it wasnt much more than the 3200, however how big of a difference will that be because I wanted to get Trident z Series (White) because it worked better for my design but its only 3200MHz.

 

Next for the storage I went with WD Black NVMe M.2 SSD (500gb) and a Seagate Berracuda 2 TB Hard Drive (7200rpm), I think this is explainatory.

 

For the Power supply I went for a Gigabyte 700w 80+ bronze power supply. I think the 700w is kinda a little over kill, but I wanted something modular and this was a pretty good price.

 

Finally the case is Fractal Design Meshify C (White) I dont think there is anything super special about it, I just liked the way it looked and that it was white. It has a shroud for the power supply which is nice and has good ventalation.

 

Lastly I wanted to get some cable extensions from cable mods however, I don't know where to get them or what all I need. This is my first build so i'm not sure how many cables I would need. Even if you could point me to to a video or something I would greatly appricated that. 

 

Any information or help you could provide on this build would be very helpful.

Remember to get 2 extra case fans (it only comes with 2) Get a 3700x, and thermal paste. The 3800x is pointless in terms of the extra money youre spending. The tomahawk MAX is a good motherboard, but lacks upgradability. You may want to wait for the b550 platform (in august) which is a pcie gen-4 supporting platform ment for 3rd gen ryzen, and has a price at or a little higher than b450 (currently). You also may just want to wait for 4th gen ryzen and Nvidia 3000(Q3-Q4 2020). Whatever you do. Do. Not. Buy. The. Strix b450-f.
