Final Build Check

[RadiatingLight]

I'm basically done with this build.

to be paired with a GTX 1080, and used for gaming on triple 1080p monitors.

Just want a few more pairs of eyes to go over it and see if I fucked something up. or if I can improve on anything.

max budget is $700, but a little less is preferred.

Ssd not very good and that's dual rank ram so I'd get something else. Otherwise looks good.

can you recommend a better SSD for less than $90? I was under the impression that the SSD was pretty good. the seller needs to be either Newegg or Amazon though.

 

also, do you think it's worth it to get 3000Mhz RAM that's single sided? since Samsung B-die is out of the question at this price point AFAIK.

SSD not that good
Add a HDD

also HDD will be re-used from something I already have. should've mentioned that in the post.

1. Why a 750w PSU. B350 chipset does not offer SLI support so getting a high wattage PSU is not needed. I am saying that since you could save money with cheaper decent PSU and spend money towards a pizza

 

2. As people mentioned Uv400 isn't a great performer

 

3. I don't think you need to put Wraith Spire in PCPP list, we know it is included.

Though I have trouble finding to see how good it performs, especially with overclock.

I know Wraith Max is incredible. But no info on Spire

Still a SSD and not a Diablotek...it's far from not usable.

even before the SSD tier list was in my sig, I knew the SSD plus was trash.

 

I supidly didn't mention, but silence is somewhat a priority. so PSU with fanless mode is preferred.

also P400S was picked for silence.

Most of the time you can just run fanless GPU, set low RPM on case fans.

I have a Corsair 750D with AF120 PE fans and they run quiet.

If budget was a concern already...why spend already more?

I've heard the spire is pretty good.

I will change the SSD

750W PSU really isn't needed TBH. thanks for the input. changed.

I've changed the SSD to an Adata Ultimate SU800

Cheap out on some stuff and get a higher capacity SSD IMO.

because I'd prefer all the parts come from either amazon or newegg, both because I trust them the most, and because I don't want my shopping to take an hour.

Didn't mention in original post, but this will be paired with an old 1TB HDD I have for games storage.

Still a higher capacity SSD would be better....I'm running out of space on both of my SSDs and 1TB just for games only.

I'm definitely not...

I have a 240GB ssd, with about 50GB partitioned away for dual-boot with RemixOS, and I still have 90GB free.

Pretty sure you can get an SP550, SU800, or SU900 for under that price. I think the SK Hynix drive is also within the price point.

 

And also yes, I think it's probably worth it to get a single rank kit.
