[Andy85]

Build

CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 1700X 8-Core Socket AM4 3.4GHz CPU Processor

COOLER - Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 AMD Socket PWM CPU Cooler

MOBO - ASRock X370 Taichi AM4 ATX Motherboard

RAM - G.Skill Trident Z 32GB (2x 16GB) DDR4 3200MHz Memory

CASE - NZXT S340 Elite Black/Red

PSU (Power) - Corsair RM650i 650W 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular Power Supply

Fans - Noctua NF-F12 PWM 120mm Fan x2

 

pcpartpicker - https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/QjTtM8   - No issues/incompatibilities found (However I wanted to last check with experienced people on this forum before I go ahead and build this., better be safe than sorry )

 

Compatibility Check

 

1. Ram - issue with Ryzen 7 and Asrock Taichi?

2. GPU - issue with PSU and Mobo, fit the case?

3. PSU - Sufficient for this build? 

4. Fans - Planning to install 2 of these, will it work with the build?

5. Say in the future I wanted to upgrade this PC. Overclock the 1700x to 4.0, add another 32 gb ram and a new graphic cards. Will there be enough PSU power and airflow to handle? (don't want my Pc to overheat)

 

 

 

Big Thanks To - Mr.Meerkat, HKZeroFive, Trulop, hconverse02

Solid, but for that budget id expect to see a 1080

I'm not seeing any problems, a new PSU might be handy when you add another GPU though.

1.- Trident Z is good but there's a specific Trident Z module labeled for AMD so those would be better but more expensive. You shouldn't have any problems running this at 2933 and even 3000, 3200 is more of a maybe with Ryzen though

2.- Yep don't foresee any issues

3.- Yep: the 1070 is the most power hungry component of the list and it's only 150 watts it should be plenty enough.

4.- No problems with the fans and should help quite a bit

5.- Those upgrades will be fine, just make sure to double check the memory if you expand: 4 dimms on Ryzen tend to be even more problematic.

Overclock the 1700 ot 1700x/1800x levels. Cheaper M2 drive, smaller but cheaper HDD (you can refit the 6TB one if you prefer). Much better videocard, cheaper but good quality PSU. Cheaper build overall.

Work - 5-10 chrome Tabs, Adobe premier and After affects at the same time, 1-2 VLC / MPC video player open TS / MP4 files. Edit + Render 10-12 minutes video 1080p and 720 p

 

Games - Future must play games for me is Dead Island 2 (2018), Death Stranding (2018), cyberpunk (2018). Would I be able to play these games on 1080p high or medium / 720p high or medium 50-60fps with the MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5?

 

Storage - crucial mx300 vs 960 evo vs 960 pro ? (super hard choice for me)

Power Supply - would the 550 W be enough even with the 1080 Ti? (maybe upgrade another 32 gb ram in the future when Ryzen is more compatible with 4 dimms) Should a spend another $10 for 650W?

Video card:

Work -  Would the 1080 Ti make much improvements for my work need above when compared to the MSI 1070?

Game -  I know the 1080 Ti would enhance my gaming experiences by a lot. However, I'm planning to upgrade my pc again in the next 3-5 years and afraid the Ti investment would be a waste because by then newer and stronger video card will be out (Ti might even be outdated by 1-2 years or become much cheaper). A good Ti card would cost me around $1100-1400 as oppose to the $650 for MSI 1070 I've chosen above. 

 

My graphics tolerance is pretty high (I'm kinda old school), how long do you think the MSi 1070 would last me ? (playing games at 1080p high/medium worst case 720p high / medium 50-60fps)?

If its really could enhance my work moderately and greatly in gaming, I would consider increase by budget to $500-600 as I can't really cut down on my storage anymore (was planning 12tb at the start). Say if I put a wrong 1080 Ti that wouldn't fit the case or Mobo, would pcpartpickers shows the incompatible ?

Would appreciate your insights.

The 1070 will last you long enough, but there is no reason to get a 1700x as you can just overclock the 1700 (which not only is cheaper, but also comes with a cooler). Maybe get a 1080 which performs definitely better than the 1070, and not for such a big extra cost.

PcPartPicker will (almost) always tell you if a GPU is too long for a case or if some component are incompatible.
