2nd Modest PC (Suggestions?)

[Greenish]

So, right now I am wanting to build another gaming PC for my other house. BUT however I didnt want to just do a normal build. No no no, I wanted to give myself a challenge... a budget. So here is the build. I want to make it AS CHEAP as possible while including some parts I have lying around. But I also didnt want to sacrifice on performance (it will already be a downgrade to my pc at my main house with a 2990WX and 2x 2080ti's). So please feel free to leave your opinions on this build...

I should also point out that I didnt want to use the stock cooler because I want the PC to look deicent. Also I didnt go with an AIO because the case I am using will be cramped with a full radiator in it and because I cant overclock the CPU (which I wouldnt if it could)

You should be going Ryzen at that price, given the low cost of an R5 1600, the 2600 is avalible, but the motherboard may need a BIOS update for it, as b450 boards are horribly overpriced on the part picker at least.

Otherwise the Ryzen 4 core CPUs are cheaper anyways.

 

You also really don't need the extra fans

And you probably want a 240GB SSD at minimum

In my opion i fell like the cooler is overkill since you are not oc and also u r using a z370 with a non overcloable cpu so thats pointless and if u r only getting the cooler for looks as u said their are many better options

100% agree with you about the ryzen part but i dont agree about the ssd part if hes only using the ssd for os he doesnt need a 240gb ssd 120 is more than enough i used to run windows on a 64gb ssd

Like I said. I am trying to make do with what I have. I have an ASUS Prime Z370-A Board Lying around. In terms of fans I want to make the PC look and feel cool.

I got to admit. Yes. I have had my eyes on the Dark Rock 4. Are there any other sleek black coolers (preferably matte)

honestly there are other corsair fans that are way cheaper and look just as good insted of spending 120$ on fans just get some https://www.amazon.com.au/Corsair-High-Static-Pressure-Cooling/dp/B00L64NYPC/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1541651710&sr=1-2&keywords=corsair+fans  i run these and there great u get 2 for the price of 1 of yours and the money saved there could go towards a i3 8350k which u could oc and get awesome performance out of

Then why don't you just spend more money on your CPU now instead of the cooler and buy a cooler later so you don't have to worry about replacing the CPU?

i like the Coolermaster Masterair pro series. these have a matte finish.
I got mine for €35 which i think is a pretty good price. could be more expensive in AU tho.

While browing the web and listening music the fan doesnt even have to spin on my 8700K.
