New Ryzen Build, how'd I do?

MaxFubar · November 9, 2018

I only picked up the RAM, Motherboard, Processor, and Cooler. Everything else I had from my previous system. I upgraded the case and PSU last Black Friday everything else has been in place for a couple of years. PSU on the list is semi-modular, but the one I have is full modular, 80+ bronze, etc. Been a while coming but I got it done and happy with what I'm looking at so far. I did the Gammaxx because it was on sale at Newegg and I've been happy with the Hyper 212 on my Intel chips. Going to put a couple of Noctua's on the Gamaxx for a push/pull and clock the snot out of the Ryzen.

What were you upgrading from? Tough to say the performance gain you'll see without knowing your original build. That said. the 2600 is a great chip for almost everything. $110 for 16gb of 3000mhz looks like a pretty good deal to me. $100 for a 2tb 5400RPM drive seems a little pricey, I'd imagine you could have gotten a 7200RPM for even cheaper than that.

Solid build, good prices, till I read the 1070's price. Damn, 500? Ooooouch.

Also that PSU... Yeah wouldn't have done that.

Looks decent, although I recommend against the rosewill psu.

Finally someone doing it properly

Though I would ditch the noctua and deepcool 400 for something like the Thermalright Macho Rev.B

Also had the Noctua Fans too. Upgrades were from a Xeon E3-1276 v3(3.6Ghz-4.0Ghz turbo), MSI Z97 PC Mate, 16GB of Crucial Ballistix(DDR3-1600), EVGA GTX 960 SSC(4GB), Raidmax 530W power supply. Before the Xeon I was running a G3258 @ 4.4Ghz with the previously mentioned hardware. I got the 1070 from eBay a few weeks ago for $200, honestly it's made a world of difference, but I really just wanted to get back into a newer rig and go back to AMD. When I was in college I had a lot of fun with the old Socket A Athlon chips and overclocking the snot out of them with lots of air cooling. Noise has never been a concern for me. I actually like the sound of a big gnarly air cooled PC, reminds me of a Harrier Jump Jet taking off.
