Factorio Build

JJB · January 19, 2021

Budget (including currency): (€1000-1200)

Country: Netherlands

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Factorio, video consumption

Other details I want to play factorio with 60 FPS. Factorio benefits from high single core performance and high memory clocks. It's not very demanding so I will keep the 980ti from my previous rig until 3070's have come down in price a bit.

(budget is NOT for GPU, only the other parts)

My main screen is Ultrawide 1440p (3440 x 1440), with 1080p on the side.

The parts I have so far:

Samsung 980 pro 1TB €~230 Samsung 980 Pro 1TB

Corsair Vengeance LPX €~150 Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK32GX4M2D3600C18

CMK32GX4M2D3600C18

2x 16 GB 3600 MT/s

AMD Ryzen 5 5600X €~380 AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Boxed

ASUS TUF Gaming €~160 ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-PLUS (WI-FI)

B550M-PLUS (Wi-fi)

I still need:

New PSU (able to handle Ryzen 5 5600X + power draw of 980ti / 3070 (whichever is higher)

New Case (preferably mATX) with space for 2x sata SSD's and 2 HDD's from previous build.

For the case I don't need anything flashy, just want something that's easy to build in.

Questions: Do I have to overclock the Ryzen 5 5600X to get the advertised 3600Mhz from my RAM?

AMD advertises that Zen 3 is compatible with speeds up to 3200MHz and Linus had this screen in the video:

If I do have to overclock: What air cooler do you recommend for this?

Thanks in advance!
