White PC build

[Jasper89]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to build a new PC for myself and would like to build an all white PC build. I have seen many youtube tutorial video and I came up with my own list of items which I would like to use for the build but I'm not sure if they are all fully compatible. Do help me out

 

 

Case - NZXT S340 Elite (White)

Motherboard - Asus Prime Z270-A

CPU - Intel I7-7700K

GPU - Asus Dual Series Geforce GTX 1070 OC edition 8GB GDDR5

Storage - western digital 2TB HDD and Samsung 850 EVO SSD (500GB)

Ram -Corsair Vengeance LPX3000MHz CL15(White)

Cooler - Deepcool Gamer storm captain 240EX white

Power supply - Fractal Design Newton R3 600W

 

I will be using this PC for photo and video editing as well as some light gaming like CSGO and Dota2. Do help me point out if i miss or overkill or under buy some parts. Thank you guys so much

Well for CSGO and DOTA2 1070 is super overkill.

I am not sure about the psu quality either.

As for the AIO it will be compatible but people reporting about captain leaking/bursting water so i'ill find another AIO or just use Cryorig h7 it has a black plate and white fans..

For the psu get one from tier 3 above on this list.

Then go with Ryzen 7 1700 with B350 or X370(only for sli and more lanes) as for those games Ryzen should be more than enough(7700k is better in gaming but for light gaming especially those games not a big difference even if it is then only small diff). But a huge diff in photo and video editing.

Just make sure that gtx 1070 you're buying has power limit maxed at 126%. Because you won't get as much out of a regular single 8pin gtx 1070.. you need 8+8 or 8+6 pin 1070.

What apps do you use for photo and video editing and how often do you use them? Ryzen may or may not be worth it for you.

The S340 Elite has a psu shroud so you can use any psu without interfering with the color scheme. Consider getting a better psu.

 

A budget and pcpartpicker permalink to the build would help.

I am also considering a black and white build and thinking of playing 1080p60fps on ultra on all games + doing some work like running several VMs etc.

I see your budget may be higher, but you might take a look at what I'm planning at the moment here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Verrm/saved/7F9LkL

If you are planning to play on 1080p monitor then I think that a 7700k+gf 1070 is unnecessarily too much. With my build I think you'll also achieve solid frames and good future proofing but for less $$. And you'll get a better PC for your photo and video editing.

 

Edit: I am also afraid of this AIO a bit, I think I'll get an air cooler.

Read about this Deepcool CPU cooler. It looks amazing, but it's scary as there are numerous opinions about it leaking. Also on this forum. Look here for example:

Please explain what you really mean about benefits or demerits of amd cpu with software????

CZ I am also going to build one like it at this budget and will do the same thing. And I was thinking of Ryzen 7 1700

Some apps like photoshop are more single threaded, and so a 7700k would be more worth it for those. However, in multi threaded apps like premier or sony vegas, ryzen would be better.
