CyberPowerPC Build

[CNN_VERY_FAKE_NEWS]

Recently had this built, was wanting to do it myself so far as customizing pre-built systems. Was wanting to support AMD, IMO the ones holding the others feet to the fire for inspiration. Anyhoo, here's my set-up below.

Of note is a 1st generation Ryzen CPU, with a 2nd Generation AX470 MoBo. Its overkill for what I use it for, but wanted something to last quite awhile, and also be up-gradeable should the need arise, and or something go bad. Its my first desktop, all other PC's have been laptops----also AMD CPU's as well. (old school fanboy)

 

I would like to hear opinions as to what works or doesn't etc... all comments welcome, thanks.

This was my cinebench, not sure what it all means exactly, but posted as a reference as to what/how my unadulterated (no over-clock etc) set-up performed. Maybe someone can comment on that as well and explain it to me as I'm not exactly computer savvy, but I manage.

The one problem I noticed off the bat is going to be the ram speed they are giving you. I wouldn't want anything under 3000 if it was me and the price difference between the two is minuscule atm. See if you can get that upgraded for a small fee and then I would say it looks pretty good

The 2400Mghz? And what exactly is that or what does it help system do?

Also its already here at the house, lol its mine. But it is up-gradable so that's no worries.

That is the speed of the memory. Ryzen's new infinityfabric is dependant on ram speed. So where as an intel chip doesn't see much gain from high speed ram... on the new Ryzen line you can see massive gains from just increase ram speed from 2400 to 3000. If I remember correctly I think they can be 5-10% in gains just from ram. So for the additional 10-20 bucks it costs for the higher speed I think it is pretty much a no-brainer in being worth it.

You talking about the new 2nd Gen Ryzens,  or the 1st Gen which I have?

Also any brand in particular thats not crazy expensive, as I'm not going to mix brands of ram. Translation I'll have 2 ram just hiding in my drawer. Also for example, would say 4 sticks of ram of 4GB, be more efficient at transfer of data, than 2 sticks of 8GB?  That's the kind of stuff I think about a lot when trying to sort things out.
