mutekkii · May 11

Budget (including currency):2200 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite, warzone, apex, OBS streaming

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):

I want to game and stream at 120 fps this is my final build so far Ive changed a lot since using this forum and i want to know if there's any last minute changes that i should make.

If possible is anyone able to check the clearance that my case and the parts i have fit comfortably?

would change the psu to a seasonic focus gx, and you don't need 1200w for sure, go for a 750 or 850, if you already have that cooler it will perform great, just cheaper options available if you haven't bought it yet

1200W isn't *necessary*, but there's nothing wrong with having overhead. GPUs and CPUs are only drawing more power as the years go on, and it's cheaper in the long run to buy a slightly overkill PSU now so you don't have to buy a bigger one later when you upgrade. Just my thoughts.

Agreed on cooler.

fully agree, seasonic gx is a tier, was just to cut back on spending, nothing wrong with a 1000+ unit

is enermax a good brand? i knew they existed just never really seen them in use or heard people talking about them, if i'm the problem here by all means go for the one you had, as it is a great deal for a 1200w

let's see,

this Montech case is big already, but to check,

CPU cooler:

GPU:

Case:

might be tight GPU fit, but perhaps it'll get there, if 330 + 330 doesn't make pcpartpicker mad then it'll probably fit, Montech is also pretty good quality case so there's a chance the clearance includes fans installed
