Thoughts?

[BluJay614]

Okay, so, I know this isn't the first thread about this, but I think the last one was about a month or so ago.

ANYWHO, I'm building this for my brother and sister-in-law. He has a small business that he is running on the side, and they both play games every now and then. So, I decided to build them a nice rig that they could use, while having a bit of a laugh. They refused to believe Ryzen would come close to standing up to Intel, and that no one should ever need more then 4 cores. They thought 8GB of RAM was enough for anyone, and more was simply absurd. They also insisted that 8GB of VRAM was more then anyone would ever possibly need. They are also big Apple fans. With that being said, I decided to mess with them in this gift(I don't wanna hear you call me immature, I don't care).

With that said, I would love to get some feedback from you guys. This will be the last one I do before starting to purchase parts and starting a build log.

You're making my poor 2012 MacBook Pro cry!  

 

And yeah, awesome computer! And they should know that MOAR always goes before cores, RAM, RGB, VRAM, CUDA cores, etc. Such as: MOAR RGB! MOAR cores! MOAR RAM!

Great Monitor with Great Card= Lé Great

Looks great, the only thing I would change would be the SSD, to a bigger one. 120Gb is noting for today OS/ apps.

The SSD is more ment to be a boot drive and hold things like Chrome. (It's also the one I can find locally for $~48) I'd prefer going with at least a 240GB, but I'm also really not looking at there being that much being on it.

Have a M.2 slot? Use that, you can save cable management

Would saving the cable management really be worth the extra money? I was just out and about and noticed a WD Blue 240GB 2.5" SSD for $79

 

Edit: It's a 250GB, my bad XP

@BluJay614 we see CableMod cables in the mix. We approve.

SSD quality mediocre, 120GB may be not enough

I'll be using this in this particular build, and a custom black and red set of cables for the G3 1000 I'll be putting in mine.

would this be better, or

would something more along the lines of this work better?

For normal usage, NVMe SSD not worth it, don't get it. A good SATA SSD like SL308 is excellent enough.

I figured it wouldn't be. didn't think there where any good looking SATA SSDs out there, so figured it would be best to go that way.

 

Edit: Correction M.2 SATA SSDs

Can you already buy this cooler? It isn't available where I live as far as I know.

No, it hasn't come out yet. Right now, I plan on getting it when it does.

I am aware. I also know I'd rather not mix some very nice black and white (not to mention very quiet) fans with some with a totally different aesthetic and acoustics

Ok, thanks. I wanted to get a normal H7 later but if the price premium isn't too big, I might get the RGB one.

It also adds another heat pipe, which is supposed to help boost it's performance by 15% and raise it's rated TDP to 160
