New Build

[Unkindness]

Hey all,

Looking to see what people think of the system I have started to gather parts for:

 

CPU: Intel - Core i9-9900K 3.6GHz 8-Core Processor 

CPU Cooler: CRYORIG - H7 Plus 59.0 CFM CPU Cooler 

Motherboard: ASRock - Z390 Taichi Ultimate ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Memory: G.Skill - Sniper X 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory

Storage: Intel - 760p Series 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive x2

Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB ROG STRIX Video Card

Case: Cougar - Panzer ATX Mid Tower Case 

Power Supply: SeaSonic - FOCUS Plus Gold 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply  

Software: Microsoft - Office Home and Business 2016 Software

Case Fan: Noctua - NF-P12 redux-1700 PWM 70.8 CFM  120mm  Fan x3

 

All input welcome. My first build so should be fun. No plans to Overclock for now as I would like to see how the thermals are with air first. May add AIO later on. Looking to do some causual gaming and watch a ton of sport with it while having it reliable for the next few years.

Cheers

Looking at your stated use-case its a bit overkill with the 9900K ...

Where are you ordering from?

The 9900k will be heavily bottleneck by that 1060 6gb, so either the 1060 6gb is enought for your casual gaming therefore drop the cpu to like a 8400?

Watch sports on a shitty laptop will last you ages

Just a tad

 

[TedBuildsPCs]

Go with a 1070 8gb or a 1080 ti with that 9900k.

[brob]

Put it in pcpartpicker.com.

 

If you really need 32GB of memory,get a 2x16GB kit. That will leave two slots free for a memory upgrade should it ever be necessary.

What games will you be playing?

At what res and target fps?

the 1060 6gb is perfect for 1920x1080 60fps

Why the everything?

What's your budget/country and what do you need your PC for? Why monitor resolution/refresh rate?

Well through a connection, I can buy it for the same price as the i5 so why not? Don't need 6.2 litre engine in a street car but it sure is fun!

The shitty laptop is dying so wanna start building for the future! Have the option to go to the 1070 version of that card 8f that'll help the bottle neck. Also at some point inn the future, I wanna get on a RTX so preping now for it

Power consumption, heat output requirement of a beefier motherboard.

Go for a rtx card right now then if you can afford it

First gen RTX is a joke, should skip it.

 

If you just want an overkill for 1080p GPU buy a 1070ti/1080 or Vega 56 for now. Vega saves you money with free-sync in the future if you need to upgrade your display.

Red Dead 2 if PC released and similar RPG third person stuff. Maybe the odd racer like Forza or sports like Madden or WWE 2K. Just keeping for anything that takes the fancy, you know?

No real res target or FPS 1080 60 Hertz is fine for me but 4k sports stream would be nice.

1060 6gb can output and decode a 4k stream, igpus can do that

Maybe upgrade to 1070 8gb.

I get a good deal on the GTX 1060/70 from a friend. Is there much of a difference with the Vega cards? Was told GTX 1060/70/80  TI where the daddy.

Any recommendations on the board? I just like the look of the taichi, like the steampunk vibe

Am I being fussy wanting a z390 board? Aren't they the newest?

I would get a z390 motherboard. The chipset includes up to 6 USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports. Also, Z370 motherboards may need a BIOS update.

AMD cards just give you adaptive sync on cheaper free-sync displays vs G-sync for nvidia, it's a nice bonus but if you're getting the 1060 or 1070/ti for cheap then just get that
