First build and need your input

[QqOmQ]

Hey everyone,

 

I recently came up with the idea of building my own pc. I currently am a console peasant and wanted to join the glorious Pc-masterrace.

The build is mainly for gaming and school but could also be used for more creative stuff like unity or blender. I will most likely only have a single monitor (uwqhd) but didn't decide yet which one I'm going to buy.

I want the build to look as clean as possible (Black/White).

My budget (not including a monitor or peripherals) is 2200+-

 

This is what I put together so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7j2Mw6

 

Anything I should change or up/downgrade? 

Thanks for any help in advance

the N7 board is overpriced, you can get a much better gaming 7 or taichi for less.

As much as I like NZXT, the N7 motherboard isn't worth it, the VRMs are crappy, the build quality is fragile under the plastic cover, and it's overpriced.

 

Get something like an Asus Maximus Hero or Asus Strix Z370 for that price range.

Things are looking good. The things that others have said about the motherboard is true. The NZXT motherboard is bad other than its aesthetics. You probably won't hit 5ghz because of the motherboard. But it's fine because you seem to going for an NZXT theme here.

 

Just a note I want to share with you:

 

Performance wise, you're not gonna get much improvement from a RAM with those speeds. Also, if you somehow prefer white RAM, you can get this: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (2666mhz) / Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro (32000mhz).

N7 board is overpriced. 

 

Ram is WAY TOO overkill. 3000 is the best, 3200 if you like your ram fast.

 

650W PSU will work.
