1st Build Recommendations

[mgrose2]

1. Budget & Location

$2500 USD (excluding the monitor and ssd) 

USA 
 

2. Aim

I want to be able to game for games such as fortnite, warzone, Minecraft, league of legends (an array of games). I am also going to be doing AI and machine learning as a profession, so a good GPU is a must (for things like deep learning). 

 

3. Monitors

I will want to in the future go to a 3 monitor set up, but for right now will use 1 monitor. I want 144hz and 1440p at least. 
 

4. Peripherals

I will need a keyboard and monitor as well. 
 

5. Why are you upgrading?

I have been saving and want to use this build for the next several years in my profession.

 

6. My Current Build

If you could look at this build and see if there are any parts that seem weird, that would be great. I said $2500 USD, but I am satisfied with this price and the lower the better. I like the build but am fairly new so I’m sure the experienced people of this forum might know better. 
 

Thanks!

The cooler is overkill - a Dark Rock 4 is more than enough if you want to run PBO (If not, then a Dark Rock Slim)

The power supply is overkill too - a Corsair RMx 650 or BitFenix Formula/Whisper 600W is ideal.

Aim for lower-latency memory - DDR4 3600 at CL15 for example.

That case has shitty airflow - I'd look at a Fractal Design Define R model and some extra silent wings fans.

the stock wraith prism isn't much worse than the 212 evo, plus there's better coolers that cost less without that horrible mounting kit.

that's a really crappy motherboard, and it's not like it's one of the few that still has stock.

there's no reason to pick a quad channel kit on ryzen, all you're doing is making future upgrades more troublesome.

you can get NVMe SSDs much faster for less than the 860 evo.

you're paying over 3 times the cost of a regular HDD for a small SSD cache on that hybrid, you'd be much better off paying an extra $15 for a 2TB HDD or just using a regular HDD.

$800 left and you're telling me you can't spend an extra $50 to get an actually decent case?

I do think Ryzen is a better buy in this price range... :I

For the 5th point in your post "I have been saving and want to use this build for the next several years in my profession". I recommend waiting few few months before spending that high amount. I bet you can get far better performance as new hardware lineups from AMD, NVIDIA are just around the corner. I think you have been saving big time and there is no harm in waiting a little longer.
