VRMs on that motherboard suck, get a B450 tomahawk instead.

The 2600 only comes with the Wraith Stealth cooler, not the beefier Wraith Spire like the 1600. Might wanna include an aftermarket one like the CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo.

Or go abit higher on cpu , 2600x for the much better stock cooler

Yeah, no.

 

2600x is around $230 USD

2600 is $200, plus Hyper 212 which is $30.

 

They'd be at the same price but the 2600 + Hyper 212 would give much better thermals because of the much better cooler.

Why do you have a mini GPU with an ATX case?

Probably buy a case that has full mesh in the front for airflow, like a Q300L(micro ATX) or Fractal Focus G, or Mesh C, or coolermaster H500, or an RL06 pro

In fact no, I have both coolers, full size wraith spire and 212, and 212 is cooler only 1 degree as I tested, and I had to make my own bracket for 212 to fit in am4 board

I live in singapore, and the zotac 1070ti mini is the only 1070ti at the same price as on amazon.($410usd) everything else is more expensive, even 1070s here are more expensive than this card

Form factor of the motherboard will be based on wifi capability, and the gigabyte wifi motherboard is atx, so i went for an atx build.

A 2TB HDD isn't much more expensive than a 1TB Barracuda and double the HDD space could be worth the 10-20$ price difference.

I would suggest a Crucial MX500, Samsung 860 Evo, or Kingston UV500 SSD because they all come with 5 year warranties. 

Okay, I’ll consider those

then get a pci-e wifi card, no need to force yourself to use that crappy board.

What is Vega 56's pricing compared to that 1070ti?

The onboard is likely perfectly fine and way easier to deal with.

Those prices were from july though.. the $432 for 1070ti is a recent price. I think new cheaper stock of gpus came in recently, its entirely possible that the vega 56 is cheaper than the 1070ti now. I’ll have to take a look when i get there on friday.

you can view pricelists of the SLS stores in hardwarezone. look on lazada and carousell as well, retailers and distributors have set up shop on those websites.

That's because of your janky mounting bracket lmao.

They make Hyper 212 Evos for AM4 you know.
