I can't see any obvious issues and your build looks descent. What would you use this PC for as this would give an insight into what may potentially need to be upgraded. :D

That's a pretty ballin' build. What do you intend to do with it?

Intended Usecase would help us to give us some suggestions.

 

I don't think you should go for AMD at that price point. I turn to AMD only when the budget is creeping up on my shoulder

I wouldn't buy a FX processor at this point, old and slow really showing its age, you'd probably be better off going with an i3 skylake for the majority of games, or save a bit more and get an i5, or wait for the zen processors and hope they are cheaper then intel.

This is a much better build list. If you went even higher you could get the 6700k and the Asus Z170 - pro gaming and overclock as well if that is something you would like to do. :D

Zen is supposed to be decently cheaper isn't it? I thought it was intended to give performance at a good price.

That's more like it! :o

But my guess is you are in India. So don't quote that budget at this point. Chances are that it will be a lot more that the rupees ( after converting from dollars.) Always pisses me off when that happens. >:(

We won't know till they released them, if they are on par with intel they can sell them for whatever they want as long as its equal and lower price anyways.

If AMD does try to match Intel they will be playing a dangerous hand in the CPU race as the next generation of Intel chips could smash AMD if they try to get into the wrong section of the market. At the moment Intel has the higher end so I would think AMD would hold of on entering there until they have a base to fall back on (Which is what I believed the Zen platform was before they did their own high end lineup). It will be interesting to see how it plays out. :D

Few issues :

 

First, why the h100i? AMD processors don't usually need large overclocks, the h100i seems kind of pointless to me. Ontop of htat, if you are getting the h110i, isn't the h100i v2 like £5 more expensive? I'd say worth.

 

The SSD , change it. Go look on amazon at the amount of negative reviews this thing has - use to be fantastic then they apparently changed the drivers and now everyone complains it is ridiculously slow. You can get multiple other brands for the same price.

 

Finally, change that powersupply out. If you look, your using 400W. With a high overlclock you'lll be using max 550 i'd say, so why the PSU? I have this PSU now and i'm not sure about it. I would get a RM650 or a supernova 550, the gold powersupply really makes a difference for overclocking ( I'm assuming your overclocking based on that CPU cooler )

 

 

Other then that, seems good. Last thing i'd say is why the blue ram? the rest of your build is red/black.

Main Rig

CPU: Ryzen 2700X

RAM: 16GB (2x8) Trident Z RGB 3200MHZ

Graphics Card: Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080Ti OC

Case: Phanteks Evolv X
