My New Build

Talis Redstar · July 20, 2018

This will be my 2nd build ever.

This computer will be for Gaming, Streaming, and Content Creation ala Youtube.

CPU: AMD RYZEN 7 2700X 8-Core 3.7 GHz

Motherboard: Gigabyte X470 Ultra Gaming

Memory: G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Siers 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 SDRAM 3200 ( PC4 25600) x2

Cooler: Fractal design Celsius S36 360mm AIO

Storage: WD Black NVME M.2 2280 250 GB pci-experess 3.0 x4 3D NAND (boot drive)

Storage: Samsung 860 EVO 1 TB (main games and such)

Storage: Seagate BarraCuda Pro ST2000DM 009 2TB 7200 RPM 128 MB Cache HD (mass storage ofcourse)

Video Card: EVGA GeForce 1080 Ti FTW 3 Elite Gaming Black 11GB GDDR5x

Case: Fractal Design Define R6 Black Brushed Aluminum/Steel ATX

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 850W 80 PLUS GOLD

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit (USB Flash Drive)

Monitor1: ASUS Predator 27" XB271 144 GHz

Monitor2: Acer H236 HL 23 : wisdescreen lcd

Accessory: LG Electronics 14x SATA Blu-ray Interal rewriter

I'm looking to spend about $2700 USD.

Monitors and peripherals I already own.

First and Foremost this will be a gaming beast. Games i play atm are League of Legends, Skyrim SE (modded), Fallout 4 (Modded), Tombraider, Rise of the Tombraider, Witcher 2 and 3, and Conan Exiles. In the past i've played Battlefield 3, 4, and 1.

Future games i'm looking to play are Shadow of the Tombraider, Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout 76, and whatever tickles my fancy and wallet will allow. lol

But I am looking to get into Streaming and Content Creation. Overclocking I probably looking to do after I study up on to make sure I get all the steps right. I have been already, but i'm a Penta-check then do kind of person. And even if the Streaming and Content Creation don't pan out i'm also looking for this be pretty future proof, as my last system has lasted me a good 5 years and is still going strong, but I'm looking to upgrade, and probably pass my current build down to my kid.

I know the parts are price The CPU, MB, and 1 of the 2 sticks of Memory i'm looking at a Newegg bundle for $666.41. Pretty much looking to purchase it all on Newegg.

Open to thoughts, and whatever.

Build looks decent. Do you have a PCPartpicker list for the components? It might not be the best idea to buy it all from Newegg. You can save as much as $200 if you buy it from different stores using PCPartpicker.com

OK added a PC parts picker list added. I've used the site before to theorize, but never used it to actually buy.

Nice build.

Instead of having a NVMe drive for boot/system and a SATA III drive for games. Consider getting a 1TB NVMe drive like HP - EX920 1TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive. It simplifies storage and should provide better overall performance.

If you are not going to oc initially you might consider holding off on the Celsius S36. Use the stock cooler until you are ready to try overclocking. Who knows what new models will be available at that point.

Thank you. With OS, and some games on same drive its not going to slow down the OS and/or boots? or would my build actually do that on its own with the multiple storage drives?

Ive wanted to go to an AIO for less things to have to clean. Dust is a problem in the area i live, though I do my best to keep my systems clean.

Are there any incompatibilities?

I am thinking about using the HP m.2 now that iv'e take a look at it.

It's pretty hard to saturate a 4 x PCIe lane storage connection.

Radiators collect dust. The Define R6 has air filters which should reduce dust issues.
