Upgrade my PC

[20kev01]

Budget : 800€

Country: Germany

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

Games: Hitman 1,2,3 / ARK / Minecraft / Watchdogs

Workloads: Image processing with Affinity (20 megapixel RAW files)

 

The planned parts are:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
Mainboard: GIGABYTE B550 AORUS Elite V2
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR4-3600, CL18-22-22-42
CPU Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 or Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black
Case: be quiet silent base 801 (is already present)

 

GPU: if the current prices improve, probably an RTX 3070.

 

 

What do you think of the parts and which CPU cooler would you take the Noctua I would have to omit the front fan.

Sorry for my bad English and greetings from Germany

my tridenz memory fits right under myy darkrock pro 4 fron fan no problem so if RAM clearance is a concern I would take the DRP4 over the noctua. I will say though the noctua is a joy to install  the DRP4 isn't bad per say but not easy to do in a case. personally motherboard wise due to my bad past experiences with gigabyte motherboards breaking I would go with a msi or asus mobo, like a msi gaming plus motherboard. but for that price bracket Ive seen the msi tomahawk drop this low or even the asus x570 tuf motherboard.

Thanks you for your answer. I think I will take the Dark Rock pro because of the easier installation, with the motherboard I noticed the MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus. What do you think about the Ram should be better to go to CL16 such as G.Skill Trident Z RGB DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR4-3600, CL16-16-16-36 but also costs 50€ more.

Noctua is easier to Install from my experience. The gaming plus is a pretty good board just make sure it covers everything you need port wise, fan headers and features you need wise. Also yes definitely go with cl 16 3600. It with such a large price difference might be best to just grab a non RGB kit of ram or stick with cl 18
