PC Berkeley

Hey! I am thinking of building a PC since I will be doing an exchange in Berkeley, California for 8 months! I can’t seems to find a good PC shop on the web!

 

1. Budget & Location

My Budget is about ~1000 USD (PC only).

I will have a separate budget for monitor and peripherals.

 

I have created this budget build:

CPU Ryzen 2600
MB GA AB-350N 
GPU EVGA 1060 6 GB SSC 
RAM Corsair Vengeance 8gb x 2
PSU SF450
SSD Samsung 860 Evo 500 gb
CASE CM ELITE 130

 

Pcpartpicker = US$978

Amazon = US$1028.64

Do you think this build is good? Any Flaws?

 

I dont mind forking a bit more for liquid cooling or Noctual NH L12!

 

2. Aim

1. Fortnite 60 fps

2. Streaming 

3. Video-Editing

4. 3d Modelling

5. Adobe Softwares like PS, Illus, Indesign

 

3. Monitors

24 inch monitor 1920x1080 60 Hz(will fork out myself! This will not be included in the 1000 USD budget)

 

4. Peripherals

No Peripherals needed!

I will connect steeseries 6gv2 and razer mamba

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

I will be studying for 8 months in Berkeley!

I will also fly to China after that for 4 months!

In my home country, Singapore, I live about 1 hour20mins train ride from my university! So, once in a week, I will bring my PC to school!

 

The problem is I am afraid water cooling will cause an issue in the future!

 

Thank you!

worried about VRM temps of that motherboard. Gigabyte's cheap AM4 boards are plagued with this problem as a whole.

Thank you so much for the suggestion!

 

Can I ask another question?

 

I am gonna build the PC in Berkeley,CA. I may need to fly back to Singapore 8 months later and fly to China with this PC in the next week. And fly back to Singapore 4 months later. Do you think that extra cpu liquid cooling solution might not be a great idea? Pressure etc?

when I am back in singapore, I may need to carry this outside my house once a week!

 

thank you!

I'd stick with air cooling. Pressure is a problem because there is some air in the liquid loop, and in a plane that could lead to the hose popping off and you get liquid everywhere.
