New build

[Hawkeye0097]

Just wondering if anything stands out as off in this build.

The motherboard is expensive for the wifi.

Personally I wouldn't spend that much on a mobo. There are a lot of cheaper X370 mobo out there.

Nothing seems off, but there are many things I find possible to go cheap on without hurting performance in any noticeable way

 

1. Are 2666-3000MHz RAM much cheaper? They will reduce performance, but only by a little and usually much cheaper

 

2. You can get a cheaper B350 mobo and add a Wifi card. Usually cheaper this way and one more part to reuse in the future.

 

3. 750w platinum unit is overkill. Unless electricity is very expensive, it's better to get a cheaper 550w-650w Bronze or Gold unit. There's PSU tier list in the power supply subforums, get something tier 2 or above

 

4. New graphics cards are sold out everywhere (including the one you picked, just check the links provided by PCPP) and prices shot up like mad. You might want to get something used or reuse what you have now while waiting for the price to get normal again.

I argree with CapitalistVN, around 200 is a far better price point. You'll still get most of the features and a reliable board. Also Ryzen doesn't always play nicely with high clocked ram, so going slower on the ram will save you money and possibly headaches. I've got a Dell S2417DG, it shares an issue with it's big brother the S2716DG around it's power saving mode. Make sure when you first get the monitor that you take it out of power saving mode or you will have lots of problems.

Thanks for the tip about the monitors, will definitely keep that in mind.

What are you using the pc for ? 

[Sreno1]

You're paying a premium for premium products on all the wrong components (I realize its Canadian dollars).

 

No need for dominator platinum if the case you have picked out doesnt have a window.

 

You could get a cheaper case option too, maybe that's your style but there are a lot of stunning options for less than that.

 

Replace the platinum PSU with a EVGA G2 550w (components are only getting more power efficient). Those fans aren't going to match so you should just get 4 noctua fans.

 

That's possibly the most expensive mainstream keyboard you could have picked, something like the Coolermaster Masterkeys L/S with aftermarket keykaps will be just as good, and of high build quality.

 

And the mobo as others has said is really really expensive and you can just get a B350 with a wifi card.
