My 1st ever

[Big Nav]

So this is my 1st build ever - I was a console guy since the OG Nintendo. Here are the pecs on my projected build, not completed still buying hardware; (x) = bought 

 

Mobo -      Asus Tuf x750

CPU -       Ryzen 5 3600 + included heat sink  (x)

GPU -       Sapphire nitro+ rx 5700 xt

PSU -       EVGA Supernova 550W 80+ gold   (x)

RAM -      T-Force Delta 16g DDR4 3200        (x)

SSD -       WD 1TB Black SN750 NVMe M.2    (x)

Case -      Fractal Design Vector RS Blackout ATX (x)

Monitor -  Asus VG279Q

 

Any suggestion from some veteran builders?

 

I figured on a budget of about $2000 all said and done including all peripherals

build outside the PC first so you know it all works

Hello,

 

The build looks great and what @Fasauceome suggested

Looks like a good build.
Most important thing is take your time!
Be careful and all will be ok.

 

 

Oh and since you're building outside first, let me give another hint. If you put on the CPU cooler well enough you can use that to grab the motherboard and place it in the case with. It should be strong enough to cary the motherboard and CPU and RAM. (just dont try with GPU thats a bit to much hehe).

I do have a rookie question, do I need a disc drive to install my O.S.? last time I installed windows was about 15yrs ago it was on a physical disc, is it still that same today?

Change the power supply to a RMx 550W and get a cheap CPU cooler for maximum boost. The EVGA power supplies aren't great recently

Make a bootable USB using the free Microsoft tool. All you need is an 8GB USB drive
