[danielhowk]

i want to build a pc i7 7700k,z270 asus hero, samsung 960pro 500gb , 16GBx2 tridentz 3200mhz, Power supply unit? and case? , noctua U14s air cooler.

PSU is Leadex II gold or G3 better? Leadex II plat or P3 better?

for pc case, i was thinking phanteks p400s, NZXT S340, fractal design R5, Fractal Design Define C & mini-C? which is the best?

any suggestions for the motherboard besides z270 hero, i heard is the best for that price point..

do you live in the states?

I will make you a parts list.

I wouldn't recommend the u14s.

the NH-D15 is way better. or you could get an AIO for really good looks.

AIO is an All-In-One liquid cooler.

unfortunately there is no malasian PC part picker site that I know of, so I will simply tell you the best parts.

 

the 7700K is really good, and the motherboard is also great, although keep in mind that any Z270 motherboard will perform the same. any extra you are paying is for looks.

the U14s is fine, but there are better coolers out there. if you can get the U14s at a good price, then take it.

that SSD is great, but again, you could save some money by getting a 250GB SSD and a 2TB HDD, which would also give you more room for games.

getting 3200Mhz RAM is paying a lot for not very much performance. you could get 2400Mhz or 3000Mhz without losing almost any performance for cheaper, but it's your choice.

I have a PSU tier list linked in my signature. anything tier 3 or above should be completely fine. strive to get a tier 2, or if you can a tier 1.

for cases, it's basically down to looks. if it looks good to you, then buy it.

EVGA G3 is built by Superflower and based on the Leadex II Gold platform. Not sure about the P3, but I would expect something similar as the P2 is based on the Leadex Platinum platform. All of these psu are excellent.

750W is fine.

650W is good enough too, but I wouldn't go lower.

 

I'd suggest ASUS, which has a really great cooler, or Zotac, or MSI, or basically any reputable AIB manufacturer.

Add everything to PCPartPicker and look at the estimated amount of peak power usage.  Find a PSU that has roughly that amount plus 100W.  If your peak usage was 372W for example, you'd get a 500W PSU.
