New Ryzen 5 build

Johnvosh · May 2, 2020

Well, took and ordered the parts for my new gaming PC. This system is only going to be used for games as I have a 4th gen i5 Dell Optiplex 9020 for normal everyday stuff. I'll post pics once the parts arrive! Anyways, here is what I purchased.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition

MOBO: Asus TUF B450M-Plus Gaming

RAM: 16GB G.Skill FlareX Series for AMD DDR4 3200 CL16 (8GBx2)

PSU: Corsair RM550x 80+ Gold

GPU: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 Windforce 2X 8GB (Rev 1.0)

Case: Black case that I have, doesn't have any front USB 3 though, but that is okay

I have the same motherboard and PSU! They're pretty good!

Well my parts finally came in and got it all up and running today! I've included some of my benchmark numbers, the system is not overclocked. The case is only going to be temporary until I find myself a nice blue case with good airflow that I like, which is actually quite hard to find. This case I have had for a number of years and like the fact that you can actually see the fan on the video card instead of the back plate and I think case manufactures should make more cases like this. I have been trying to find a good one like this with cable management, but I can't find any or find any that don't cost an arm and a leg.
