First Build

[iMike]

Hey Guys!

So I was going to build my very own PC for the first time, but I have no idea if this is anything near decent

I would appreciate tips and such, just change my PcPartPicker List as you please and tell me why u changed it.

 

Uses:

I will be using my PC mostly for 2560x1440 100Hz gaming, later on I will probably buy one of those Fancy 3440x1440 100Hz Screen, when its in my Budget

I will also be using my PC for Video and Photo editing (4K+) and 3D Rendering, all these things as a Hobby

 

Budget:

1800 Euro

Europe, use the German PcPartPicker

(Dont mind going a bit over it as I did)

If you want to do 4k video editing and modeling, then go with the ryzen 7 1700. you'll like having those 8 cores and 16 threads. i edited the part list for you. chose the crosshair because it was most like the maximus IX code you had, and i helped you save some money by putting in a lower wattage psu. also, nzxt will give you an am4 bracket if one isnt included.

IMO you are overspending on motherboard, RAM, PSU and storage.

Games rarely benefit from faster than standard SSDs.

PSU wise a Corsair RM650x will be plenty.
Motherboard wise you'll be fine with a more basic Z270 board like the Asus Prime Z270-A.

Im not sure how much RAM speeds will benefit editing but this is cheaper and still fast: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/product/qGqbt6/gskill-memory-f43200c16d16gvgb

And unless you are overclocking you should consider getting a cheaper air cooler.

I two agree with Ryzen being the best option if you're not just gaming. The best ryzen from a price to performance perspective is the 1700:

I do agree with the SSD Speeds, I could go for a 850 Evo

750W is mostly for future SLI and OCing and its just 50$ more

Overpaying for looks, you wouldve know if you read

And the Ram I chose is also a 3200 kit, and Im also paying extra for the looks on these

Cooling = Looks
