New Build Sanity Check

[MikeS159]

Quick sanity check before I place the order for my new PC

 

New Parts:

• Ryzen 9 5900X
• ASUS Prime X570-P
• 4x16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM @ 3600MHz
• 2TB Corsair MP600 Pro PCIe 4 NVMe drive
• 850w Corsair RM850x Modular PSU

Parts from my old build:

• Noctua NH-D15 cooler
• Be Quite! Silent Base 800 case
• GTX 1060 (out of necessity)
• 3TB HDD

 

Can anyone spot any glaring problems/omissions?

2TB doesn’t look like a lot of storage.

 

Also what is your data backup strategy?

Ooops. Forgot to add my 3TB HDD in there. I have a NAS on my home network for onsite backup and a combination of stuff for off site (I take backing up fairly seriously).

Noctua NH-D15 cooler

Just be sure that your NH-D15 came with AM4 hardware if your previous build was older than when AM4 came out. You can request the kit free by providing Noctua a copy of proof of purchase of the motherboard or CPU, and the cooler itself.

That is a good point! I have the LTT edition which has the AMD NM-AMB8 mounting kit, so I guess I'm going to need to order the AM4 parts. Thanks!

Nope, just found the box. AM4 is included

That's great!!! Just wanted to point that out as I know I've been using my NH-D15 for a long time and it didn't come with it, so I'd have to if I were to switch.
