Looking for input on first build.

[IDmann06]

So this is a first time build.  I'm looking for some input on any changes that can make it more efficient. I gave it some room for upgrades down the line but like I said first time. I went for the aio for silent cooling and the psu for its fanless setting.  Maybe I missed something.  Thank you for your input.

Good choice on the cpu since you're streaming!

I thought about getting 2 gpus but I've looked around and some builders haven't been adding a second.  Also, I would like to keep price down a little.

Do you have any monitor(s)? If yes, how many? Resolution? Refresh Rate?

True. Get Windows from kinguin or something. It's legal and cheaper.

One monitor at the moment. It is an Asus VS278Q-P. 1 ms, 50-76 hrz

I don't think i meant to keep that in the list as I might have other means to getting windows.

Since your monitor is a 1080p one I don't see the need of getting a GTX 1080ti. Even the 1080 is overkill.

Yeah it is a glint in my eye at the moment.  Gotta have more green.  I bought this monitor like 9 months ago not thinking I would need more than that.

Thank you very much on the advice to go with Kinguin.  I will spread the word on that.

 

So I have noticed that many other forums mentioning that overclocking is not doable on the 1800x yet.  Most reviewers only have videos that show about 1 months time post release that the bios has been tweaked only slightly to improve it a little.  

 

So my question is that if I do go with the 1700 or 17x save that money and overclocking the 18x does greatly improve over the next 6 months post launch of Vega, do you think that I will be kicking myself for not going with the 18x? Or will the overclocking of the 17 only improve more since they are both 8 core 16 thread chips?

 

I am not well versed in the art of overclocking as of yet. This is why I ask.

R7 1700 makes much more sense than an 1800x. Better SSD. Nice case with a tempered glass window. SLI support so you can add a 2nd GTX 1080 at any point if you wish. I even included a nice 1440p monitor since a GTX 1080 is overkill for 1080p. Most people with this monitor have been easily able to OC between 96-120Hz. If the cooler is a little too ugly for you, Cryorig H5 is a nice, pretty quiet cooler or pretty much anything from Be Quiet! lol, the Dark Rock series are the best, but you might need to contact Be Quiet! for AM4 mounting hardware for older coolers like the Dark Rock 2.

Dang I did alot of "beginners" research but could not find a way to reduce the watts or the price for what I thought would be a good set up.  Thank you very much.  I have  found a slightly pricier monitor, but I can't decide between these two from amazon on an open box price. Asus - PB277Q 27.0" 2560x1440 75Hz Monitor or ASUS PB278Q 27" WQHD 2560x1440 IPS DisplayPort HDMI DVI Eye Care Monitor. The difference is viewing angles and an ips display. 

As for the cooler how about this one? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Zr2kcf/be-quiet-cpu-cooler-bk010

And also was the cooler master case that was from my original build okay?  It is roughly 20$ cheaper and it also has a window.

 

Maybe this set up? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4ChhzM

Alright so I know this might be annoying but I made 2 minor adjustments. The motherboard I was wanting some input on because the Asrock didn't support the level of memory that the RipJaws are at and this motherboard gets closer after oc.  Comments? Input? Also I took out the optical drive because I figured I could just buy an external if I really wanted one.  Finally, the case I'm sticking with because it is cheaper and I changed the cooler. 

Input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
