Budget (including currency): $2000 US

 

Country: america

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: minecraft, recording editing and streaming

Other stuff: I have 2 monitors currently, 1 is 1080p DisplayPort with 144hz, and the other one is also 1080p hdmi with 144hz. I plan in the future to have 3, 2 of the 144hz one and one of the exact same specs as 1st one, but 1440p. That is not happening currently though, but I designed this build in mind to eventually use that. I am currently only planning to overclock the cpu a little, so 650W should be enough. I do plan on waiting until the prices of everything goes down, or trying to get it as they are being restocked. The budget is a bit above what the total currently is, and that is to factor in price hikes (+tax & shipping, that boring stuff) so there is a little wiggle room, but if you can keep it around what is currently is, that would be helpful. 

I also currently run an i5-8400 with a 1050ti and 8gb of ram. So quite the upgrade. For what i do it may be a bit much, but i do want something fast. 

I went with corsair so I can use their iCue software for all of the RGB. I have heard good things about it, so I’m looking forward to it. 

Thank you for reading, and any help or suggestions would be appreciated

Pretty good build but I definitely wouldn't be spending that much on extra, unneeded fans, I'd dump the money into a better PSU.

I'd also try and find a 32GB kit, not 2 different kits. While it will work, kits are matched sets.

I'm also pretty sure there much better AIOs, that one's pretty old.

Get a 5800x. It will not be significantly faster in gaming, but multitasking in 2021 uses 6+ cores fairly commonly. More cores will also make the cpu last longer as over the life of the cpu games will be optimized for more cores.

I want to keep the price where it’s at currently and scalpers are making that things price high. Would it be a better idea to get a 3700x instead because it’s around the same price as the 5600x and is still very solid

RAM and PSU yes, no idea about the CPU cooler, you'd have to Google some reviews.

Depends on the use case. If you have a 144hz monitor or more, I would get the 3700x, as games are normally bottleneck by the 3700x at 180-200 fps+

I do Use 144hz, but also 1080p and want to get 1440p in the future, and I’m not planning on playing the most taxing games but would the 3700x be good for editing and streaming
