Windows 10 Home, just buy pro and get some useful user control features out of it. The group policy editor is worth having for when you get sick of automatic windows updates and such.

As well never buy an OEM key, it’s identical to just buying a key off of eBay for 20$ because just like there, it’s not a key meant for personal installations, it’s meant for system integrators and as such has no Microsoft support at all.

Buy the key from Microsoft or get it on eBay if you don’t care, but don’t pay 120$ for an OEM key.

 

You have a single gpu, no extra expansion cards, and the 3080 doesn’t support SLI, so why even bother with atx?

I would be looking at matx for an overall more compact system with better cooling since you’d have no gigantic dead zone for air to pool 

when you say more compact system do you also mean having a smaller case?

personally id say keep the ATX form factor like you currently have because who knows what you might throw into the computer in the future, you might want to put a capture card in or pcie storage devices. your computer seems solid, if there is one think i would change is the case. i would personally go with a corsair 4000d airflow or a 5000d airflow. Solid case, great radiator and fan support, and great for watercooling if you go down that route in the future

I appreciate it but I like the current case, I've been wanting to build a pc in this case for a while

Are you even gonna overclock?

Cause the cooler and board suggests that you are gonna overclock

 

If you arent then the cooler and board is a very dumb choice and a massive waste of money

 

And if you arent using productivity applications then 64gb of ram is a waste of money

Non ocing

 

Yeeted all the overpriced crap and swapped them for better alternatives

 

Swapped the board for a b550 tomahawk

Swapped the cooler for a phantom black

 

And yes you could oc but just turn on pbo and let it boost your cpu automatically

 

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pJkNt8

Ocing

 

The p12 fans are supposed to go at the bottom for a bottom to top airflow and the fsk is supposed to swap the included 140mm back fan

 

Liquid freezer 420 to keep the cpu cool

 

B550 xe for ocing

 

Heavily ocing based build, if you dont oc then dont bother with this one

this is cool and all but as I previously stated I like the current case

Yea its either looks or performance

 

Sorry but paying alot doesnt mean good airflow

 

Even a p500a will flow better and have lower temps than that overpriced shitbox

 

If you really really want that case then rip your overclocking ambitions as your temps are gonna be higher than an airflow case like p500a, maybe a difference of 5c, even thoigh it sounds small it might be the difference of a stable oc and an unstable oc

 

 

In my opinion performance >>> looks

updated parts list:

Lots of wasted money with that spec if you are just gaming and web browsing.

 

You would be fine with a 5800X, although not a huge issue if you wanted the 5900X. The majority of games won't use 12c/24t though.

 

A Scythe Fuma 2 would be a cheaper option for the cpu cooler.

 

That board is a massive waste of money if you are not doing a custom loop. If you want an Asus board then something like the B550-F Gaming is much cheaper.

 

Why 64GB Ram ? You only mention gaming/web browsing so a 32GB kit would be plenty.

 

Those Samsung SSD's are expensive. A WD Blue SN550 is more than good enough.

 

Not a fan of that case, but that is personal preference. Have a look at Gamers Nexus review if you already haven't.

 

https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3466-asus-rog-strix-helios-case-review-benchmarks

 

You can save money with W10 Home edition. You can also get cheaper keys from places that sell game codes like cjs cdkeys.

 

Some Arctic P14 fans will be a fraction of the cost of those Noctua ones.

 

Why two 165Hz monitors ? The non gaming screen doesn't need to be a high refresh rate.

the reason why I put 2 165 hz monitors is bc I wanted identical monitors for the setup

and for the mother board, whenever I picked a board compatibility issues pop up, even the board you mentioned doesn't have sufficient headers so I just eventually went with the first board that has enough

also I'm not planning on buying a OEM key, it's just there for which one I'ma use

A 165Hz screen is wasted though if you are just using it to browse the internet. I would just go with a regular 60Hz 1440p for the non gaming screen.

Yeah most boards don't have enough internal headers, but I still wouldn't pay $500+ on a board. The Asus B550-E has a header for the front USB Type C and for two of the regular USB ports on that case. The other two ports wouldn't be usable unless you buy something like an add in card with an internal USB header. You still have plenty of USB ports on the rear i/o though, so you should be fine.

changed the motherboard to a cheaper one
