Cut cost by ~250$

 

Swapped 11600k for 11500 since you are only losing 200mhz on boost

 

Swapped board for z590 cause there happens to be a cheap one, you can make up for the lost boost by raising bclk to 103 for ~4.73ghz and also locking single core boost multi (46) on all cores, both of them combined = 4.73 all core

 

Cut the ram to 32gb though if you actually need 64gb then you can just re add it, though pref as a 2x32 kit cause 4x16 is very stressful on the imc so that might raise cpu temp and also completely ruin ram overclock, and you def want to ram oc since the micron ic on ballistix do 4000+ with ease which gains you some cpu performance and for ram intensive programs the extra bandwidth might help

 

Upgraded ssd to crucial p2

 

 

I do suggest swapping the case or running it without a sidepanel cause that case has no front airflow aka its a hotbox so rip your temps

Thanks heaps for the suggestions, the board won't be optimised by the Tr2 PS so think I will look into upgrading Ps too. Probably go new modular one or just go back to the original gigabyte Matx board. I have the case with no side since I got it. A bugger to clean but temps were ridiculous.

The giga matx board pales in comparison to a z590 board, even the cheap ones have far superior vrms, not to mention overclocking features that allow you to utilise the full potential of your cpu even if its locked and also ram oc which is very useful since were looking at ballistix ram

 

I think the 600w psu can stay, it shouldnt be that bad quality, just swap it once you upgrade gpu
