Storage: Crucial P2 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  (£65.49 @ CCL Computers)

The P2 uses QLC (worse endurance, worse write performance).  For same money I'd grab a nice 3D TLC drive with better read/writes like this:

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/2cJtt6/western-digital-blue-sn500-500-gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-wds500g1b0c

For about 36 quid more you can get a 1TB NVMe (TLC as well and not QLC like Intel 660p): https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/3ftQzy/adata-xpg-sx6000-1tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-asx6000np-1tt-c

I was going to suggest just this, but I have to advise against the SX6000 too, as it lacks a DRAM cache.

 

What I'd change about the build is swap out the Crucial P2 for either of these: Sabrent Rocket, ADATA SX8200 Pro, HP EX950, Silicon Power A80, Samsung 970 Evo, WD SN750.

Also, instead of going higher wattage (which you don't need), I'd get a higher quality PSU - something like an RM550x or Straight Power 11 550W will work great with that system.

 

Other than that it looks good. Well that 5700XT's kind of on the expensive side and I'd probably get an MSI Gaming X or Powercolor Red Devil instead, but the AORUS is also really good.

You are a bad build and you should feel bad.

[Stahlmann]

All jokes aside your build looks solid. Maybe look out for the AOC 24G2 as it's the flat IPS variant of that monitor. You have the curved VA panel. At 24" the curve might be more distracting than functional.

[Guest]

Swap the SSD to the newer SN550. The rest looks ok but as you mention it is worth waiting on B550 later today.

B550 just came out so maybe get the B550 tomahawk. Otherwise looking good. Maybe see if the g502 is on sale anywhere.

i would look at the B550 as well as looking at an RTX 2060 depending if you ever want to stream ect.

The rx5700 is a decent bit stronger than a 2060. So even for streaming you can use gpu encode to start.

[sgteaglefort]

i would agree that it is stronger then a 2060 in games but for steaming Nvidia seem to run smoother from my experience.

Nvenc encoder. Also if you really believe in DLSS and Ray Tracing...

Yeah I wont be streaming

[sgteaglefort]

Hahahah RayTracing on anything under a 2080/2070super seems like a great way to get a slide show for frame rate...

Then you have a solid build. Very good bang for the buck.
