Help with Optimization

[LARPStrong_Carter]

So I got a few things for a new build and hoping someone here can point me in the right direction with optimizing the build.

I dont want to overclock at this point, leave that for something that can happen over the years as needed.

Feedback/suggestions and such are welcome, just know I already purchased this stuff so saying to replace something will likely not happen anytime soon but I do appreciate the feedback.

I am very new to the computer optimizing, as my last PC I built 8 years ago and never had to do anything to it (i7-3k, gtx 770).

What are you going to be doing with the PC? 

 

If gaming then what games?  what resolution?  what frame-rates?

Sorry great question.

Yeah gaming, likely streaming while gaming. Also streaming while running my Roll20 DnD games.

Some light video editing as well.

Games I play currently is just ESO, but likely gonna check into Apex and Valorant. I just got back into gaming after a few years hiatus.

I play on two 42inch 4k TLC tvs I think I use the recommend res of 2680 or something like that.

Preferably 60 FPS but higher is always better right.

is this for gaming? if yes, too much ram and too much money spent on ssd and PSU instead of GPU.

Gaming, streaming, some video content editing.

I dug around for a different GPU but this was the best bang for the buck I could find due to the price hikes.

What GPU would you recommend?

Also PSU I looked for cheaper but wanted RGB, although I might find I dont need due to PSU shroud but waiting on the case to see.

I am trying to make it look purdy.

Gotcha, thanks for the info. I plan on raid 0 on the NVME's to help with a bit of performance as its going to be the OS drive.

But I might wait until the RTX price drops some, since mines half the price now and even if I swapped the stuff I would have to add another 300 to get the video card.

But least I know I can upgrade if I need to lol

raiding nvmes doesn't make a big difference to performance. you're already getting a very good fast drive that won't be bottlenecking anything.

Ah ok, I didnt know that. I read somewhere it would help with performance and I like to watch Hulu while gaming and streaming so I dont want to have bottlenecks.

you get higher sequential speeds (that matter for copying very large files around), but lower random transfer speeds (which matter in normal usage), so I would advise against raid.
