New Rig Recommendations/Advice

Hello Everyone,

Hope you all are well and doing great.

Just after some suggestion for a new Rig i am planning on to build for gaming.

few things are fixed AMD CPU,2080 Super and X570(because of PCIE-4) 

 

CPU wise i am confused between 3600x and 2700X as there is less price difference.

Motherboard: ASrock X570 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB3 Mini ITX ( only becuase of size)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB 3200MHZ ( but can increase RAM if you think i might need more)

GPU: 2080 Super .. but can you recommend which one ... as there are too many options)

PSU: i will leave it with you to usggest, as i am not making a showcase PC ... so modular or non modular doesnt matter to me.

Storage: 256gb m.2 ssd and 1TB hdd

case:  depends on above i guess?

The 3600/3600X will game better than a 2700X, I'm assuming that's what your main focus is.

 

One thing to consider is that board has pretty limited cooler compatibility due to the Intel mounting holes and tall chipset cooler, so make sure you have something compatible-- I don't think the stock cooler fits.

Ryzen 3600 and 3600X are nearly identical, and both are faster than Ryzen 2700X for gaming. You can just use whatever’s cheaper between 3600 and 3600X. I believe the latter comes with a better stock cooler, but you could always buy an aftermarket cooler if you wanted. 

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X | Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT | ASUS ROG Strix X470-F | 16GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB @3400MHz | EVGA RTX 2080S XC Ultra | EVGA GQ 650 | HP EX920 1TB / Crucial MX500 500GB / Samsung Spinpoint 1TB | Cooler Master H500M

If you're looking for something small around the same price range, the Aorus X570I is pretty good as well. The Strix and Crosshair boards are excellent, but extremely pricey.

 

I'm kind of a Fractal fanboy so I'd probably go with the Define Nano S for a standard-layout ITX case, but there's lots of good options out there. The Define is one of the few that fits a full size PSU-- most others will use SFX or SFX-L instead, so keep that in mind.

What about Node 202?

The Node 202 is a decent case but very thermally limited due to the size, and it doesn't fit much in the way of CPU cooling. The 3600 would probably be OK but the 2080 super would get pretty toasty. You could probably make it work, but it would require some careful research and probably would be pretty loud by the time you got temperatures under control.

 

Not to say it can't be done-- I've seen some great Node 202 builds. Just not for the faint of heart.

3600x over the 2700x for sure.

 

try and find 3600cl16 ram, it’s similarly priced but a bit extra performance. 
 

I’d recommend an evga 2080super sc ultra.  It’s a damn good cooler for a good price. 
 

psu I’d say look for one with a gold rating or higher with 650w or higher. If you find one you like, check for a Johnny guru review on the model. 
 

might want to save up for a little extra storage. I think the price difference between a 1tb seafarers barracuda and 2tb is around $15. May as well go 2tb.

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

 

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!

I've heard good things about the H1-- the era ITX is good-looking but has thermal struggles with high-end hardware. I've never heard of the Silverstone case but they generally make pretty good stuff.

It looks good. Depending on what case you choose, you might run into restrictions on the GPU, PSU, CPU Cooler.

 

You may need to go SFX for your power supply.

I don't know much about Xielence. I usually look for seasonic, corsair and evga.

Definitely go 80+ gold or better imo. 550w or higher gives you room to grow.

So I think your list looks good so long as it all fits in the case.

Here you go.

Changed the Ram. The ones you had didn't have decent timings.

Also added some storage so it's a complete list.

Hey thanks for that 

 

I am confused between 3600 and 3600x as  its only 5% difference and cheaper

For Storage i have vouchers for CEX so might get it from there.

i have swapped cooler to shave off a few quid too

also looks like GPU wont be supported in the case :( can you suggest some ? reason why i chose Aourus from gigabyte due to its higher boost clock 

 

Thanks !!

Hey thanks for that 

 

I am confused between 3600 and 3600x as  its only 5% difference and cheaper

For Storage i have vouchers for CEX so might get it from there.

i have swapped cooler to shave off a few quid too

also looks like GPU wont be supported in the case :( can you suggest some ? reason why i chose Aourus from gigabyte due to its higher boost clock 

 

Thanks !!

The difference is Precision boost overdrive. Gamers Nexus 3600 vs 3600x

The arctic AIO's are the top performers right now, so that's a good move.

EVGA 2080 super SC will fit. They have great customer support. Good price with a good cooler.

The price will be a bit off because it's showing some wrong amazon pricing on the GPU. It's 740 not 682

Hey Thanks for the support over couple of days.

I have Ordered 3600x and RAM for now.
Still not sure about motherboard you think Arous x570 pro will be able to handle 3600 Mhz ram ? and can handle 3600x overclocking too if needed Or i should stretch a little and get Asus x570-I

 

Also i see you keep recommending EVGA 2080 XC card... the boost clock on that is 1815  and Gigabyte Arous 2080 super is a few quid more but boost clock 1860 mhz.

That is what confuses me to pick the right one.

 

Despite i want Evolv Shift Air due to GPU thickness  compatibility i am confused  to make my purchase.

Yes the motherboard is more than fine for the ram and cpu. It will be enough to squeeze everything out of that 3600x. To my knowledge it has better vrms than the Asus.

 

The boost clock on the EVGA and Arous is just the slight overclock that they give it before sending it out. A difference of 45mhz isn't going to be noticeable. You can always overclock your gpu.

 

I like the look of the evolv shift air. It's up to you. I wouldn't change the case for the sake of getting the Arous, but again that's your decision to make.

Ok Quick update.( sorry for changing things a bit too much)

I have changed power supply and motherboard and looking for a case recommendation now for smallest footprint in ATX

I ditched mini-ITX formfactor for scalability AMD 4000 series is around the corner i would like to use my hardware longer if I can.

 

new specs below... is everything OK?

Only reason I picked up Asus over Gigabyte is another 2.5G ethernet and similar price in comparison to Gigabyte X570 AORUS ULTRA .( a bit of Asus fanboy as well)

Also now I have a bit of bigger footprint for case should do I still need a third party CPU cooler ?
