Hi rex

[InMiseryWeSeekPancakes]

Looks good to me, I believe though you should be able to determine that yourself.

May I ask, in which way is this PSU better?

Not being a loud fire hazard.

Yes, but.

1.) Why not the H100i Pro?

2.) Why not NVME?

3.) Beware of EVGA G3 PSU. It has OTP and OPP issues. Choose this instead: Corsair RM750x (2018)

Thanks for the tip with the PSU, but what makes the H100i Pro better? And what do you mean by NVME?

The H100i Pro is newer, though not necessarily better. Just has RGB on the CPU Block 

 

As for NVME, that's just an interface for storage. Your chosen SSD, the 860 Evo, is if not the best, one of the best SATA Interface SSD in the market. But any SATA SSD will be trumped by NVME speeds. Though for gaming, SATA SSD is more than enough for quick load times.

 

Basically, no need to change anything except for the PSU. Great build you got!

Thanks a lot for the help! Is there any SSD in specific that you recommend?

1.) Samsung MZ-V7E1T0BW - Around 4x Faster Read/Write, but very expensive.

2.) Samsung MZ-N6E1T0BW - M.2 Variant of your chosen SSD. Saves space and cables.

Ok, thanks but I'm gonna stick with the original SSD. Btw do you think I need the extra 2TB Hard Drive? Im gonna have this computer for around 7 years, and use it mainly for gaming.

I've changed the PC a bit: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/pzG8P3

Some questions:

Do I need a sound card?

Do I need Network adapting?

Do I need UPS systems, Thermal compounds, Fan controllers, or Extra Case Fans?

Thanks for the help!

Yeah. Newer games tend to get bigger in bigger in space. Also, productivity tasks require a lot of storage.

Nope. Asus' built-in audio card is great already.

Not really. The built-in ethernet and wi-fi is good enough.

14 minutes ago, A47H said:

Yeah sure, though I don't know which to recommend. I run my PCs on a powerstrip, which is not recommended.

Thermal compounds

Not really. The included in the Corsair H100i Pro is good enough. Though if you wish to get one, I'd recommend the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut 1g. It's pretty expensive and you'll only get minimal gains. But unlike others which are almost none.

Hmmm. I can't say yet. Well the View 71 RGB already has 3 fans included, plus the two fans on the Corsair's radiator are to be accounted too. But for added aesthetics, sure.

Thanks a lot for the help, I’ll let you know when I build it. I’m probably gonna end up getting some extra fans for aesthetics, or for over clocking (not that I need it).
