Advice for new gaming built

BRLeoBR · July 26, 2018

Hello guys,

First of all, sorry for occasional spelling and grammar mistakes, English is not my mother tongue.

I would like to build a new PC in the next weeks (80-90% gaming, 10-20% productivity). What do you think about my setup?

Some additional comments:

Motherboard: I would take the Z370-F (instead of the Z370-E) because I do not need Wi-fi and Bluetooth. As far as I see, I am only losing a USB 3.1 Gen 2 front connector by not buying the Z370-E. Am I overlooking something here?

RAM: I think that 32 GB would be overkill right?

Storage: Due to price drops in the SSD NVMe drives, I first considered taking two 250GB and putting them in RAID 0, but I also reconsidered it as I read that RAID will only give me headaches, besides being overkill, since the speed of one single NVMe is more then enough. So I moved back to the idea of taking a single NVMe... is 500GB too much? Should I stick with 250GB?

Storage HDD: Gold or Black? Or doesn't matter?

CPU Cooler: Or maybe the H100i Pro RGB? By the way, I wan't to overclock the CPU to 5GHz.

Monitor: Huge, 1440p ready, G-Sync and IPS. Good or am I overlooking something?

Keyboard: I am really not sure if it's good. I'm worried about not having a wrist rest. Would you somehow advice me against it?

Case Fans:

1. My idea is: two in the front, one in the back, two for the CPU Cooler. Should I put 2 more on the top, so that there will be 2 fans blowing and 2 fans sucking air from the CPU cooler? If yes, should I connect the two extra fans sucking on a normal FAN_HEADER ou in the CPU_FAN of the mobo?

2. Should I go with SP, HD or LL from Corsair?

Thank you SO MUCH in advance!!

Yours faithfully,

Leo
