AMD Ryzen 5 1500X and GTX 1070 build

[Ryois]

Budget: 1500$ USD

Aim: Gaming, rendering in DaVinci Resolve and Blender, streaming and recording with OBS, and Visual Studio coding.

Monitors: Dell UP3017 2560x1600 and maybe a 1080p in the future.

Peripherals: Corsair STRAFE RGB MX Brown, already owned, Corsair M65 PRO RGB, already owned, and Corsair MM800, already owned., using CUE to change and sync RGB.

Why?: I am running on a Asus ROG GL502VS Skylake edition, GTX 1070 laptop and DRR4 2133MHZ. 

I will not change the case. I might be able to steal the M.2 nvme drive from my old laptop if I so need to.

So what you want is better CPU performance than the laptop?

and a full desktop GTX 1070 not a underclocked one in a laptop.

Eh the cooler is alright but the 1600x is not worth the extra $20 because you can overclock the 1600 to the same speeds easily

Provided you are confortable overclocking the cpu which not everyone is. Also Davinci Resolve is ill-equipped to utilize mire than 4c/8t.  Adobe would be the better choice for that.

A: I said in original post I will not change from a Corsair Carbide 400C black,

B: I have no use for a 1TB internal drive 

C: I have built with a non modular PSU and I NEED modular, https://pcpartpicker.com/b/zsKBD3,

D: I'd rather have 6c/12t and 3.5Ghz over 8 Cores ik ik that sounds weird.

I am comfortable in the bios and Ryzen master, and Davinci is okay on my CPU but it is iffy on my gpu.

[HV1991]

Are you already using ryzen? All I meant was that you won't see significent performance gains when using ryzen 5 compared to intel I7-7700k for example at least from what I've heard.

My friend is using R5 1500X and im running Core i7 6700HQ

[HV1991]

Oh yeah right forgot you are working with a notebook. In that case the 1500x might actually make a difference.

4C/8T 2.60GHz to 6C/12T 3.6 OC is a bit of a difference, lol

[HV1991]

Agreed.

A&B: You can take the hdd away and plug the 400C back in

C: And why wouldn't a semi modular psu work? You have to plug in the 24pin and 8 pin power at all times no? Even on a fully modular psu.

D: You'd rather have a 6c/12t 3.5Ghz cpu over a 8c/16t 3.5Ghz cpu and a gtx 1070 over a gtx 1080? huh?

No I wasnt settled on a GTX 1070...

Im okay w/o  going on a Asus board

Is there a way I could squeeze in a 850 EVO and or Vengeance LPX, I can go to 1600$ but preferably stay under that...

You're joking, right? The G Series is a bit old, but the Focus Plus Gold is as good as EVGA's G3 or Corsair's RMx. Seasonic is one of, if not the most reputable brand to get PSUs from.
