My (1st) New Build

[Arvivk]

So after more then 10 years that i haven't touched any PC part i finally decided to build myself new one.

 

Will use it for browsing, streaming, audio editing and maybe games...

 

Parts List: 

 

NZXT S340 Elite (Matt Black)

CPU: Intel Core I7 8700K

CPU Cooling: Be Quiet Dark Rock 3

M/B: AsRock Extreme4 Z370

GPU: None at the moment, i haven't decided yet what i really need... (for now i am using the build in one). Maybe RX 570? GTX 1050?  

RAM: G.Skill Trident (16GB) 2x 8GB 3000

SSD: EVO 960 250GB M.2 

SSD: EVO 850 500GB

PSU: EVGA G2 SuperNOVA 650W 80+ 

Case Fans: 2x 140mm Be quiet High Speed PWM Silent Wing 3 fans (Intake) and 2x 120mm NZXT fans (Exhaust)

Intel 8265 ac Bluetooth/WiFi  M.2 Card

 

In search for Monitor (24"-27") GPU and Keyboard

I did not OC as i don't really know how to do it safe and not sure if needed, so everything running as Stock.

dont waste money on that 960 evo, judging by the small amount of storage on it, you want it as a boot drive? if so, theres not a noticable difference between nvme booting and sata booting

I have almost the same Setup. You'll enjoy it.

also, ocing is safe, you can easily up the multiplier to get an extra 200 ish mhz on stock voltages, its when you try to put stupid amounts of voltage through a chip that it starts to be damaged

It's a good system for editing and streaming.  If you aren't going to OC, then get the 8700 non k and wait a month till the non overclocking motherboards come out.  You will save a pretty penny.

Also, the 1050 and 570 are light weight cards compared to the 8700.  A 1070 or 1080 would be a better match, even at 1080P resolution.

The build is completed so i got all parts already.

I went with the 8700K in case that i will  play some games and will need to OC... (Most likely will happen)

And about the GPU my budget is around $150 at the moment but if i will wait a bit i can go to $300+ so i guess i will wait on that...

It's a solid build, but if you aren't willing to overclock, you're going to be wasting a bit of your money.

 

First of all, Coffee Lake CPUs only support DDR4 RAM at up to 2666 MHz. If you are running your RAM at 3000 MHz, then you are already overclocking.

 

Also, I'd consider waiting a while until B360 boards come out (unless you're planning on using SLI, but judging by your PSU, probably not). You can save a lot of money by getting one over Z370, as you won't be paying so much extra for features you won't be using. This does mean that you aren't going to be able to overclock your RAM, but you did say you won't OC, correct?

 

Also, if you're not going to overclock, you could drop to the non-K i7 and save yourself even more money (not just on the CPU, but you can use a cheaper air cooler like a Cryorig H7 or the crummy stock cooler), but you do lose a small amount of (stock) performance as a result, so this will be up to you.

 

Lastly, I'd preferably have a bigger M.2 SSD and drop the SATA III SSD. Is there a specific reason you'd need a secondary, slower SSD?

 

Nevermind, you just said you built it. It's a decent build, but if you aren't overclocking, you're holding it back a bit as a result.

 

Anyway, if you're not going to game on it intensively right away, you can get away without buying a GPU for now. You'll have a much lower upfront cost as a result.

Thank you for the info..

 

I most likely will play GTA, NFS and COD that i am playing on my PS4 so i believe that at some point i will need to understand how and will OC it...

The reson for 2 SSD is because i thought it will be much faster this way... (So i guess i got the wrong info??)

Currently running RAM 2666 MHz

if you need a keyboard i have one of the non chroma blackwidows, i am selling it on Facebook for 60, if you need one
