New pc part check/adjustments

[Jordy03s]

I've been saving up for my first build and want it to be good. But first off all:

1) i have a budget in mind of 4 to  4,5 K€ and my location is Belgium (Europe)

2) i want to be able to game and work on 1440p at 120hz and ultrawide 21:9 screen or dual 16:9 

3) i already have the periferals, so the budget is for rig and monitor.

 

here is my part list, feel free to make suggestions/ adjustments.

Hey, your golden! The rig is great and you should be fine at 120hz on 1440p (when i read your post i was wondering "since when was there a 2440p monitor?"). You don't need a 860w psu though (power draw will be like 400w) but at least it will be quiet. No compatability issues, nice inclusion of rgb ram though, you gotta love the stuff! Hope this helps!

 

Also, Welcome to the Forum!

Yeah, i saw that i had some errors in my post (english is not my first language). What i meant was indeed 1440p. Furthermore i wanted to know if everything was compatible and would work silkely smooth :). For the psu i could go with a bit less watts but i wanted to be shure it had enough juice and would run quiet. Maybe i can go for the corsair hx platinum 850 as sugested by ordinarily_greater. For the ram i opted for the g.skill rgb because of the awsome looks, but is 3200 enough or overkill?

Higher wattage PSUs aren't quieter than other PSUs. Quiet PSUs are quiet, other than that, there's no way to generalise. For a single GPU, the RM550x will have plenty of wattage, and it's among the quietest PSUs. 

Here's PSUs and their measurements during different loads.

In terms of frequency, that's usually around where you want to be, in terms of cost and performance. Unless the 3000 MHz kit costs significantly less.

Why would you recommend that overpriced crappy board? Especially for a high end 8700K build?

Why that overkill PSU?

You might consider going with a 2x16GB memory kit instead of 4x8GB. Leaves two free slots for upgrading without impacting performance.

 

You might consider simplifying storage. Fast as NVMe drives are, real world usage suggests little noticeable improvement.

 

Consider a newer psu design. The one included below is quite and has more than sufficient headroom. PCPartPicker estimates MAXIMUM stock power draw based on manufacturers' specs at less than 470W.

 

Windows 10 OEM licenses do not allow use in DIY builds. One is supposed to buy a full retail license. Unless you need features in the Pro version, e.g. bitlocker, the Home version is fine.
