First build IML

Hello users,

 

  I've made my mind on building my new pc. I want to hear opinions and recommendations from other users to gain better knowledge for my final decision. 

 

  I picked these parts (link below) as the best suited, in my opinion, parts to buy to meet my 2 primary requirements, performance and longevity°.

 

*Longevity = As long as it can run most games more than 30fps. And be able to work on it.

                                    Thanks. - Mr.Confy

 

Complete build, reference.

For you needs, Ryzen is OK. 

But for god's sake, dont get B350 mobo and 1700X.

Still check out the 8th gen.

Get a 16GB B-Die memory kit, Flare-X or Trident Z (C4)

 

 

Don't buy Apple M1 computers with 8GB of RAM

that is some quality thing going on follow this guy

"Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas

 

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Spoiler

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

If you're gaming at 1080p 144Hz, I would say to get an Intel Coffee Lake processor over a Ryzen one to hit those higher framerates.

 

Get a i7-8700 with fast memory:

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

@HKZeroFive Gaming at highest frame rate is not actually something I'm set to, The build is a overall pc that can play decent games without any hindrance. The monitor was chosen because of the low response time and LED screen more than the 144Hz bonus.

 

@dave_k I've read the post so I'm going to check on a different mobo.

 

I'll check the other recommended parts bit by bit.

1. The "low response time" is just marketing. There's no accurate way of measuring it since it varies widely... and 2. All modern monitors have LED. I'm surprised you prioritised those two "features" over the 144Hz refresh rate.

 

But I digress. The point of the build is to game and the Intel Coffee Lake processors would be a better choice, especially for 1080p 144Hz.

A 8700K will set you way better for that i'd say you don't need that much ram and the power supply needs a buff to i put some other stuff like an M.2 Mvme SSD

Excuse me? what. That is an Z370 board there is nothing to discuss you don't own the product and you certainly can't tell if it is 'Garbage'

It has 4 phase Vcore garbage VRM with SM4337 and SM4503 mosfets from Sino. Total garbage and will run damn hot even with 8700K stock. Heatsinks are joke too.

*eats popcorn while watching forum, researches better picks and work as well.*

 

Common points within recommendations. 16GB no more needed, better cpu cooling (Will take a note on that), SSD HDD wombo combo, video card similar but ± core clock. Intel intel !Π†€|, 80+ Gold (ok I will). Continuing research.

Ryzen CPUs are for productivity workloads so ram in that case would do a favour all though you'll be fine the 8700K/Coffee-Lake cpus are out of stock as from now

Explain to me why you recommend a 8700k. I've been out of pc info since july, and now even less since I took 2 hurricanes and been working in St. Thomas. Thanks
