Planned build (long overdue due to illness)

[Duker981]

Hi everyone back in March 2019 I purchased the following but sadly due to illness have never had the chance to build it and I just wondered how it would stack up today what with pc technology moving so fast, and what would you change any of the components for today??

 

All the parts are brand new and unused somewhere in my spare bedroom!

 

Case = NZXT H500 Vault Boy Glass Windowed PC Gaming Case 1 of 1000 worldwide £147.99

Case fans = DEEPCOOL RF120 Quiet RGB Fan Three Pack, 6-LEDs, PWM, SATA, RGB Controller, Anti-Vibration £25.19 inc vati

Honestly, the RTX 2060 would probably cost a good chunk of what you paid for the whole thing if you bought it today. Everything looks good, might want to upgrade storage as that has grown and reduced in price quite a bit over the past couple of years. Depending on what you would like to use it for I think it would hold up surprisingly well.

?? I don't need to pick any parts, I'm just asking how that system would stack up today 2 years on despite me still not being able to build it due to continued illness.

Aah right, okay, yeah I paid £329.99 for the gpu 2 years ago, had I known that 2 years later it would still be in its box unable to build the system even to this day I would have saved the money and probably got a 3060 today if it were even possible.

With current prices that 2060 can sometimes even go for 750 pounds :p. Really the biggest meh part is the pretty carp case in terms of airflow.

just get cooler for the cpu the cooler master 212 or the v2 its like 30euro and get a thermal grizzly kryonaut for 8 euro

Can you elaborate?? Where did you read that the airflow is bad??

The H500 Vault Boy is the H510 but modified a bit.

And the H510 is one of the worst airflow cases EVER. Solid front panel, solid side panel, and only a little gap where the side panel meets the front for air to go in.

Oh right OK, well I may or may not use that case if I ever get well enough to actually build the PC in the 1st place, I only bought it because I like the Fallout games, it was more an impulse buy than anything, and I have seen some videos and the cpu temp and gpu temps aren't that bad, I won't be overclocking or anything so would hope that the temperatures are tolerable so to speak and with a decent watercooler it should be more than fine yeah??

Temps are entirely up to what is in there. A lower end system is mostly fine but your specs are basically on the edge of what is a serious issue. WATERCOOLING IS THE WORST IDEA IN THAT CASE. Trust me on that. It's genuinly horrible. You can only add a 240 in the front and that restricts airflow even more + adds way hotter air into the case practically cooking the gpu and tanking performance.
