pcbuild About to build my first pc, can anyone give some advice on my parts selection?

[InvisibleAlex]

Hi guys,

I currently have a gaming laptop with an i7-7820HK, and a GTX 1080. It has had way too many problems with cooling and GPU failure. So I'm going to build my first pc.

Can you guys give me some advice on the parts? Especially the case. I prefer a minimalist mid-tower, but can't seem to find what I like.

I would go with a more sedate and much less expensive cpu cooler, more storage, and lower capacity psu (still ~300W over max draw), and a more sedate case with excellent airflow.

The R6 is an excellent case. Perhaps a bit quieter than the Meshify C, but also slightly warmer. If you do go with the R6, consider getting the USB-C version as the motherboard has the needed header.

I just placed my order for the r6 USB-C on newegg. With your advice in mind, I'm thinking getting the NZXT Kraken X72 and a lower powered power supply. My friends are saying that I should go with the Asus Strix Z390-E. Do you know the differences between the Strix and the Maximus ?

Why Z370 and not Z390 ? Something like a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Elite would be a good entry level board.

The Maximus has better networking, more USB 3.1 ports, USB BIOS Flashback (update BIOS without cpu or memory installed). Either motherboard will do an excellent job.
