Utterly stupid evolution

[The Blackhat]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/27sGGG this will be my setup in a few days, dont ask the how or why, but this is the second iteration of my build, I want opinions, how stupid is this, also, the psu is wrong just couldn’t find the 2017 version on pcpp and didn’t look very hard, so yes, I do have an 8 pin

edit: so technically the list above is the third iteration of my build, this is the first, from last year and the launch of ryzen https://pcpartpicker.com/list/V6yBmq all the pictures I have are crap, second iteration is below

second iteration https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yMLQZR pictures I have for this are slightly less crap

1. Why 2 64GB SSDs and a 240GB PCIe SSD? You could have bought a single Samsung 960 Evo 1TB, for less money.

 

2. Quite expensive for a case, though I'm no expert in them so I'm not sure whether this case has anything to make it worth that much.

 

3. Why mix RAM frequency? Can't run 3000MHz like this.

All existing items, couldn’t afford a real ssd so I got some from a friend, I just included their prices, the case is leaving and will be replaced with a caselabs magnum sma8-a, so that case is practically nothing pricewise, and the ram is because it was cheap, also, the 3000 mhz ram has no heatspreaders

I think the PSU is a bit overkill.

heat spreaders are more for looks than performance.

 

Then use 2 2x8Gb kits instead.

Huh, alright, hmm, will a non modular evga 350 watt do fine? I think so

Cant afford that, and I took the heatspreaders off for that reason

I'm curious why $600 cpu and a 1050ti?

Also I'd think with this budget you'd get ram that wasn't so... green

You didn't properly explain how randomly this build was pieced together. I think that's why people are confused. They weren't so much "choices" as they were "no choice but to."

I look at it and say "Hath thou heardeth of a bottleneck?"

[GoldenLag]

on a scale of stupidness between -10 and 10. Where -10 is not stupid at all and 10 is potato stupid. id say its a solid 1,7

 

EDIT: Note: this is my opinion. also This was one of the questions he asked

But, green is cheap, ?

Well mining inflation, so the choice of GPU wasnt that bad. Keep in mind its -10 to 10. So its a pretty bad score. Id say a noob build with the corrects parts is a 0. Id say the GPU choice during the crisis sort of redeemed it a bit. I did set it at 2.5 to begin with

To be honest, i got the gpu long before the crysis, thats why i put the price of $210, not the current price of $350, I got a lot of the system at the launch of ryzen 7, about a week after or so, “noob” build was more so I only had a 720p monitor and spent $1400 on the pc so said screw it 1050 ti it is
