Could you double-check my *final* build?

[deleted_member_030719]

Disclaimer: I realize that is similar to a previous thread I made, however, this one is for a different build that I am currently happy with. It's just more updated, tbh.

 

Hey, I am just looking for some help making sure that my PC would work.

BUDGET: $1700 CAD - Trying to go for a blue theme so I got that cheap case.

 

Programs I am going to run & Multitask:

• Photoshop
• Aftereffects
• Windows Defender
• Iobit Advanced System Care
• Iobit Malware Fighter
• TeamSpeak
• Minecraft
• Eclipse
• Netbeans
• iTunes
• FileZilla
• Skype
• Chrome (Multiple tabs & Streaming)
• PuTTy
• Gyazo
• Twitch Streaming
• YouTube video rendering and such
• OpenVPN
• WireShark
• Notepad++

My current specs (prebuilt system):

• i3-550
• 4 GB DDR3 RAM - ~1300MHz
• Some random AMD GPU - 512MB DDR5
• 300W PSU
• 60Hz Monitor

That thing is like 5+ years old^

 

I really need an upgrade for my PC because my current one gets it's ass kicked when running Chrome + another application. The RAM runs through the roof and I'd rather not upgrade the RAM. I just want a brand new PC where I can actually use Photoshop.

 

I am also looking to:

• Run max settings for games like CSGO, Minecraft, League at 1080P 144Hz
• Overclock CPU to 4.5GHz

can you wait till black friday? Canada computers has some pretty sick sales even though it's not as big as america

[DerpyDrag0nKing]

you might wanna get another ssd or a hard drive youll run out of space super fast with only 250 Gb

 

[williamb87]

maybe an hdd for additional space since 250 isn't that much especially after windows, applications etc.

I use Google Drive for my storage. After 5+ years of my current HDD, I still have only used ~130 GBs total; all files.

Will that cooler be enough for a 4.5 GHz overclock?

[gtx1060=value]

i actually think the canadian dollar will get stronger in the coming year, if you could possibly hold off till boxing day to buy, it would be much cheaper

[Dafman]

I would go with something like a Cryorig H7 cooler, they're not too expensive and work well. 

 

I would also pick a better PSU. I don't think many people are going to agree with me, but the CX power supplies aren't really that good. For a little bit more money you could get something like a Super Flower, XFX or Antec PSU that would last a lot longer (in my opinion.)

That would fuck my income. I get money from Americans(mainly) buying stuff from my gaming server.

I would suggest you keep the d15 and get a higher end psu, evga g2/p2 are the best out there today imo.

Do you really need an optical drive? Not because they're expensive, but because they're hella loud and most people will just have them collect dust after installing windows

I need mine because a lot of things still use CD drivers to install drivers. Like my router.

EVGA is apparently overpriced for their quality.

I'd rather use water cooling over air.

if americans are paying you in canadian currency to buy gaming items, then you will get more canadian dollars if the dollar grows stronger

They pay USD, Paypal converts to CAD, so I get more spending money in Canada.

that's not good either

properly cool a K overclocked CPU you eitehr go with a 240mm rad minimum or go with a huge air cooler

his original idea with the D15 wasn't bad

Well, i was trying to go under the price of a noctua for the air cooler. a h100i would be around 120 dollars
