Budget (including currency): AUD$2,000

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Subnautica, The Long Dark, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Illustrator

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Got all other peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, external HDD), upgrading from a 2017 MacBook Pro

 

I've been following LTT for a few years and am familiar with the build process, but this is my first attempt.

I'm a digital media producer working in Adobe suite and a long-time play station user, been using my 2017 MBP for gaming and editing, looking to upgrade to a beefier desktop solution

I've purchased the following and from my research, they should all operate and work together, just curious if there are any notable things to be aware of while building

 

Motherboard - MSI Arsenal Gaming AMD Ryzen 2ND and 3rd Gen AM4 M.2 USB 3 DDR4 DVI HDMI Crossfire ATX Motherboard (B450 Tomahawk Max) (B450TOMAMAX)

Cooling - NZXT Kraken X63 - 280mm AIO Liquid Cooler with RGB      

PSU - Corsair RMx White Series RM750x 750 Watt 80 PLUS Gold Certified Fully Modular PSU (AU)

For 1500 you could get a way better gpu like a 1660 super on ebay for 650, You should also get a 2tb hdd for premiere pro.

650 dollars for a 1660 super is unacceptable, you should spring for an rx 580 8g or 590

Don’t take everything I say seriously 

take it with a grain of s a l t
