Hey guys so I’m planning to buy a new computer, I have around 1500 Swiss francs (prices from digitec.ch). 

These are the parts I choose, but i’m not sure of the value and compatibility 

  • Ryzen 2700X
  • Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming 
  • GTX 1060 (Gigabyte Windforce)
  • 970 Evo 250Go
  • Seagate BarraCuda 2 To
  • Corsair H110i or H100 v2
  • Trident Z RGB 3200 MHz
  • Meshify C Black
  • Seasonic M12II-620 Evo

First I chosed Ryzen because I’ll do a lot of photography, video editing (After Effects) and some gaming, but Zen 2 is coming soon, is the wait worth it ?

 I’m also planning to overclock both my CPU and GPU. As for the cooler I don’t really know, can the H110i fit in the Meshify C, or is the H100 v2 a better option? I want the best thermal performance without having to delide my CPU (This is my first build). 

For the RAM I heart that Trident Z is more optimised for Ryzen and I really want the best performances. 

 

This build comes around 1500.- (without windows and peripherals), is it good tho? I don’t have a lot of experience especially in cooling and airflow. The Meshify C is a small case so I was wondering if Corsair AIO will fit. 

 

If you find better option around 1500.- for what I do, I’ll take all suggestions. 

Thanks a lot!

Honestly, unless you really must push that 2700x as far as it'll possibly go, I wouldn't bother with a water cooler. You could put that money into more storage or a better GPU which is definitely money better spent. You could also go for a cheaper motherboard, but I understand wanting higher end boards.

 

Otherwise, I think the build looks good. Well, I would choose WD over Seagate.

i7 2600k @ 5GHz 1.49v - EVGA GTX 1070 ACX 3.0 - 16GB DDR3 2000MHz Corsair Vengence

Asus p8z77-v lk - 480GB Samsung 870 EVO w/ W10 LTSC - 2x1TB HDD storage - 240GB SATA SSD w/ W7 - EVGA 650w 80+G G2

3x 1080p 60hz Viewsonic LCDs, 1 glorious Dell CRT running at anywhere from 60hz to 120hz

Model M w/ Soarer's adapter - Logitch g502 - Audio-Techinca M20X - Cambridge SoundWorks speakers w/ woofer

The DRP4 fits in the Meshify C case, the PSU is expensive but it's a good quality PSU.
