hello

so i have something like this in mind:

MB: ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING - dont know if i need such an expensive board or just gor for a sub 200€ B550
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
CPU FAN: NOCTUA NH-D15 - the ugly one dont need that bling bling
RAM: G.Skill 4x8GB DDR4 3000 Ripjaws V Red Series - they are currently in my old setup, dont really want to get new ones, but not sure if they are supported in amd, as they are on the official site mentioned only on intel boards
GPU: Gainward GeForce GTX 1070 Phoenix GS 8GB - ques this year wont be anything better than this card i have available
System SSD: Samsung 970 EVO PLUS 2000 GB
HDD: 2x8-10 TB for anime, photos, anime and stuff
PSU: Corsair HX750i or Be quiet! straight power 11 platinum 750w
PC box: Fractal Design Define R6 - no glass on side panel

 

any tips how could i improve my setup or anything please?

I'd suggest a B550 motherboard. MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk or Asus TUF Gaming B550-Plus are reasonably priced.

 

You will be able to use the memory. No idea what speed and timings you will be able to achieve. But unless you end up around 2133, it won't really matter.

so i would have to manually set the rams to their speeds?, btw forgot to mention im gonna use only 2x8Gb sticks, the other 2 will stay in my old setup, is that ok?

You might have to manually adjust memory speed and timings, but not necessarily.

 

Splitting the 4x set into two 2x sets is fine.

looked up the boards, the asus looks kinda nice, especially with the extra m.2 slot in case i upgrade it

what about the psu ? both are A tier not sure if single or multi rail is something i have to keep in mind or how do i find out that it fits in to the pc?

 

and the biggest question what HDD for all my stuff?

[brob]

I personally prefer single rail others prefer multi rail. Don't worry about it.

 

Both of the psu units listed are good. Do you have access to Seasonic Focus GX-750, PX-750 or Corsair RX750X. If so what is the pricing like compared to the units listed in the OP?

 

How much storage do you need?

[witotv]

hmm there are no seasonis near me in the 750w range,

at the moment i have problems with a 4TB drive to store ale the photos i have, thinking of going for a 2x8-10TB setup to also backup everything

[brob]

What Seasonics are available?

 

Keep in mind that something like a 2x RAID 1 array is not backup. It does provide protection against a single drive failure. It does not protect against a viral infection, ransomware or user error.

 

If you want a RAID 1 array look at Seagate IronWolf or WD Red hdd.

[witotv]

this is the only one available, the others i have mentioned are all available 

Seasonic Focus Plus 750W Gold (SSR-750FX)

is seagate resurrected or should i have concerns if those drives have a higher failure chance? 

[brob]

Choose one of the other psu. I'd use price to decide, although, if memory serves the RM750X is likely going to be quieter than the other two.

 

Current Seagate offerings are fine.

[witotv]

ok pumped into a next problem  as im looking the ripjaws V dont fit under the noctua fan

 

[brob]

There is enough clearance in the R6 (185 mm) to raise the outer fan above taller memory modules.
