Need feedback on PC build

[RightfulEra]

Greetings, linustechtip's community.

 

I'm planning on upgrading to a fairly descent computer desktop very soon, and I would absolutely love to hear the good folk's opinion and insight on this rig https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rfkZr6

 

Are there any downsides or disadvantages should I expect from this build? Anything ranging from durability, lifespan, stabilization, performance, etc. Not entirely confident as to whether it would meet my ideal expectations or not for a solid pc. Not planning on being as careless as to pick these proposed parts without any suggestions from you guys.

 

Thanks!

A good air cooler is gonna be much more reliable than that water cooler, with similar results. Try a cryorig H7

Without even opening the pcpp list I knew it would be a cooler master cooler based on your comment 

 

I'd recommend a larger SSD for your boot drive - at least 250gb.

Consider looking for a case with better airflow. That masterbox lite is pretty restricted.

The cooler master v750 is a good PSU, but you don't need 750w for that system. A good quality 450w or 550w will be fine for an 8700 (non K) + 1070ti.

Don't cheap out of on your SSD if you are going to spend lots of money on the computer. At least get an Evo. That Green drive is cache-less which will be slower and die faster than a cached SSD like the Evo.

 

Also, I recommend Corsair for the PSU.

@RightfulEra Your RAM is too fast for that board.

 

You could do this if you want a Ryzen build: Better SSD, RAM that matches your board, An air cooler because it looks like you won't be overclocking but you can if you want, and a better graphics card for the same price.

Or, if you want to stick to Intel I suggest this:

 

Better SSD, RAM that matches the motherboard, better graphics card, and overclockability. You may want to go with this one.
