Need help...

[StrangeGamer]

Hi,
 I live in the UK and I am looking to build myself a computer in September for the purpose of both high end gaming and completing CAD work set by my university (Avionics Systems is the course I am doing if anyone is wondering. :-)

An example of software and games that i will use:

* SolidWorks
* Creo
* X-plane 11
* GTA V
* CS GO
* LoL

Here are some criteria:

1. Must have Ryzen 2700X, equivalent or better.
2. 32GB of RAM would be preferable.
3. M.2 SSD would be very nice for the programs.
4. HDD for mass storage.
5. I would like to overclock CPU.
6. Aesthetics are not required but if the budget allows can be used.
7. WiFi adaptor is a must (no way of getting a LAN cable to my room without demolishing the piping in the floor)
8. No OS required
9. Already have the peripherals

10.Expandable 

 

Go wild

Thanks!

With all of your criteria requirements you've basically already made the parts list. What was it you wanted us to do again?

Budget? Also you pretty much have the pc planned already.

Although for this one, I would recommend Intel. But you mentioned you wanted something better than AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, which is only Threadripper.

I would switch the CPU cooler to H150Proi or better though.
