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

Other details: 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 had a post before this, but got some recommendations, and am reposting for more suggestions. (It will most likely be going on the desk, if that helps). 

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

Memory Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory $209.99 @ Newegg

Looks good, but you can cut $50 off here. 2 sticks of 16. Same speed same latency. The memory controller on the CPU will also be a little bit happier with 2 sticks. There's no "boost" of going from 2 to 4 sticks.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

That looks really good. 

 

Suggestions:

 

DIFFRENT CASE!!! I had that case, IT IS TERRIBLE. Cable management is just horrible. Airflow is good, but everything else just sucks. Plus, If you have a hard drive, then the PSU won't fit. (It will fit, but you will have about a .5 inch of room.

 

You can also save $80 by getting a windows key from a reseller like vip scdkey or something else like that. You can get a windows key for about $20 USD.

 

You can use that $80 to get a 750W CPU, which will be enough for overclocking the CPU, along with a 3070.

 

If you like iCue, which is great, you should get something from the 4000 or 5000 series for Corsair.

 

For a case replacement I would recommend something like a

This sounds stupid, but would it do anything if there is just 2 different sets of ram? Like, they are the exact same type, just like 2 sets of 1 stick of 16

If you're trying to use the 8gb you already have, it's kind of a crap shoot. While they're same brand, same latency, same part number they probably will have memory chips from different manufacturers. There's no guarantee that they will run at XMP speeds smoothly.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Fairly solid build, as people have said buy the windows key 3rd party and save a bunch. Defiantly just buy two 16gb sticks of ram, gives you easy expandability down the road and as was mentioned due to ryzen only supporting duel channel there is no benefit to running 4 sticks over two, and technically is actually worse as ryzen seems to be much more unstable with 4 sticks currently. 

 

Lastly I'd put the money saved from buying the cd key third party and get a quality NVME m.2 ssd as your boot drive.
