$2000 Ryzen Build Advice

[Erbyy]

Hello my good friends, im building a pc for a friend of mine though my new small business. He will be mainly gaming, and rendering a few videos and images with this build i have selected. He would also like to have EVERYTHING LIGHT UP AT ONCE in the system. I will link the pcpartpicker imbed at the end and im curious to see what reccomendations you guys have. Thanks! -Erb

All peripherals are separate from the budget.

You are spending all the money on rgb instead of performance. Get a 1800x If you are spending 2k on a pc. 

 

Throw the trident z bulshit out. Get 16Gb if you REALLY want it. But you should need more than 16Gb unless he is editing videos in premiere or something. Even then it is super overpriced for ram. Get the corsair vengance rgb ram for a better deal please.

Dont need it, will be overclocking the 1600x for more than its worth. Like i said, wont need it for the use of the system. He wants rgb. He'll get it. Hes paying the money, not me.

 I would get a 650W psu then becuase 750W is a bit overkill. Other than the money drain of ram, motherboard, fans, cpu cooler and cpu I dont' know what else to tell you.

I said in the original post. Its what he wants. I was looking for advice or imput if anyone has built a similar system or the potential issues ahead. Now potential issues include : Compatibility, fittings, things like that. Not the potential issues you are insighting.

I was thinking about that. I only put the 750w in there for a safe guard. Would you keep 650w even when it will get another 1080 in sli Most likely overclocked? Or should i stick with the 750?

If you are doing sli and overclocking I would keep the 750.

Hmm, interesting. Ive never installed two 1080's in sli before. There will be overclocking done on this system. Anything else you see?

The R5 will be a bottleneck in some games most likely. Especially if you are planning to go multi gpu in future.

If you must have a 1600 fine but never buy a ryzen X model just overclock it yourself, they have the same max headroom. 1700 here @4GHz whereas an 1800X has a 23% chance of achieving 4.1GHz.

 

I could easily be within budget btw but I assume you need that shitty RAM and a fuck tonne of RGB fans... So I left em in, and S340 Elite has bad airflow just fyi so a fuck load of fans won't fix that

youre right, it does. But a crucial thing in this build which made me drop the R7 and the TI is the pricing. Sure, pc part picker gives you a total. But when you go into amazon. (Which is where he wants to buy the shit because thats where he is going to wire the money to) The total of the system i linked is over $2200 bucks on amazon. And splitting the two  between newegg and amazon purchasing its still 2150 total. Plus shipping. But I will look into it. I also am having a meeting tonight with him to iron out all the details and hardware. I appreciate it tom, and ive tried fitting in the 1700. But it bumps the same config even with different ram far out of the spectrum.

Not in all cases.. but yes.  He plans to have 3-4 monitors for surround and multitasking capabilities.

Just make sure he understands he is paying for swag over performance.

He does, i will try to talk to him about if we took the 300 extra bucks if we didnt go with the rgb shit. And put it towards more savy components

Back near budget yes removed a lot of RGB junk. Less is more trust me, the kraken looks and performs great so I left that in and the Hue+. Got you a bigger SSD, a high end 1080Ti not founders and Ryzen specific fast RAM.

Pretty clear he wants it for other reasons (im guessing RGB components and headers) I have a crosshair yet no intention of SLI.

for what i know now its 1 montior at 4k, two others at 1440p and the 4th at a minimum 1080p

Did he specify resolution? Bottom line he shouldn't be putting an R5 in this thing either way.

why? standard is 8, enthusiast gamers/small time creators is 16, 32 is professional content creator/super heavy user, 64 and above is you have too much money and no where to spend it

^ Btw i know and i'd like an R7 but they are pretty adamant on the RGB explosion so i gave up and used a 1600 to suit budget  it won't bottleneck especially at their resolutions so its ok. Also games don't make enough use of cores yet so for pure gaming there is not much reason to get a 1700 over a 1600 unless budget allows.
