First build ordered, can you see something wrong ?

[Fuogvarex]

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is the most resource consumer I have

Virtualisation labs - hadoop and kubernetes

Web browsing - lttstore.com for the most part

 

Other details

180€   - be quiet! Silent Base 802 (3x Pure Wings 2 140mm included: 2 front + 1 back)
260€   - be quiet! Dark Power 12 850W, 80+ Titanium, Modular (Then I can upgrade my CPU/GPU without buy a new one)

300€   - ASUS ROG Strix X570-F Gaming

530€   - AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, 12x 3.8 GHz
 90€    - be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4

 

475€   - EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC Gaming, 12GB GDDR6
    
230€   - Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB Kit, DDR4-3600 MHz (2x16GB), CL18
100€   - ADATA SWORDFISH - 1TB M.2, NVMe PCIe x4 SSD

2175€ - Total

 

I have a 1440p, 60Hz screen. Basically I want to play solo games at max resolution with that configuration (1440p, 60fps) with vsync ON, and maybe some CSGO at max fps with vsync OFF.

 

It is my first build, I used to use laptops.

I spent 2 weeks on building it and finding a GPU.

I'm glad.

What do you think ?

Overally balanced build, although you got DRAM-less SSD, its performance will suffer a bit. And RAM could be faster, CL16 is the optimal for 3600MHz. You could save some money on the case for these things

Oh thank you I didn't know this was a thing, hopefully linus has a youtube video for everything !

Yes, I heard about it too late

The SSD isn't really an issue, at least for gaming. The WD Blue SN550 is also a DRAMless SSD and that performs pretty much the same as the SN750 for loading games. The Adata would only slow down if doing large sustained writes. You can see it mentioned in the Toms Hardware review below.

Also not an issue with the Ram either. There won't be much of a difference between CL16 and CL18 3600MHz. If you wanted to tighten the timings or overclock it etc you can always watch Hardware Unboxed Ryzen Ram tuning guide.

Thanks, I'll check that.

Well I bought it because "hiGhEr iS bEtteR" actually, but I learnt a lot about memory when I saw AMD's 3900x page saying "up to 3200Mhz" 2 days ago.

> frequency, latency, fclock:mclock:uclock 1:1:1, XMP/BOCP

I'll try to get the best out of it !

Wouldn't the time to ask this question have been before you ordered everything?

He does, but afair it was made before HMB technology (essentially borowing DRAM from system RAM), which is used by your drive, and which shrinks the performance difference between those and those having DRAM to quite small, as I said.

100% true, better late than never I guess

[Fuogvarex]

I chosed this build to be able to upgrade it easily and I plan to buy other disks anyway so the next one will be for the second NVMe slot, with DRAM this time !

 

Concerning RAM, the eshop where I bought this doesn't have 3600Mhz CL 15/16, no regret.

 

I'm happy with it, and happy to join this forum with you guys
