1st build for years and 1st post

[Mondas42]

Hello all.

 

This is my first post on this site, and my first computer build for years. First a bit of history, my first computer was a 16K ZX Spectrum way back in 83, and after that I was hooked, soon upgraded to a massive 48K of memory, and then it was BBC Model B’s and then a Amiga 1200. But about thirty years ago I got my first PC, a AMD equivalent of a original pentium, and over the following years it was upgrade and new build after new build. That stopped about ten years ago when I built my last PC, which was a first release Intel i7. I used this for photo editing and video editing but not gaming as I stopped playing games. However, move to this year and my daughter asked me to build her a new gaming PC as hers was getting a bit old. So I built her a Intel i9 9900K with a Nvidia 2060 graphics card. However I found myself jealous of it, so for my recent 50th birthday I treated my self to a new rig and have started to get back into gaming.

 

My Rig is

 

Processor -         AMD Ryzen 9 3900X

Graphics -          Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT Nitro+ Special Edition.

Motherboard -    ASUS  ROG Strix X570-F Gaming

Case -                 Zalman Z7 Neo mid tower case

Memory -            Corsair 16Gb DDR4 3600

PSU -                  Kolink Enclave 650watt  80+ Gold modular

Cooling -             Cooler Master ML240L RGB cooler

Storage -             Sabrent 512 Gb Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2

                            Seagate Barracuda 4Tb  hard drive

                            Crucial MX500 1Tb SSD

Monitor -             ASUS TUF Gaming VG27BQ 155Hz 27 inch

Keyboard -          Corsair K70 MK.2 RGB Cherry MX Red

Mouse -               Logitech G502 Hero.

 

Build went well and all functioning well. Now trying to get my head around this overclocking lark and relearn my gaming skills. Got a long way to go but this silver haired 50 year old is having fun!

My one concern is Ive underpowered the psu? Do you think 650Watt is ok for my build?

Thanks sir.

650w is more than enough, think around 400-450 max load with your setup, so you have some decent headroom.

Zalmans not the best company but it's nice seeing different cases used.  I think that case is striking.  I really like the lighting effect on the front.  Also the internals are top notch as well.
