I watched a few videos, went through pcpartpicker to make sure all the components are compatible.
Please tell me if i've overlooked something silly, or just berate me for picking stupid overpriced parts that i'll regret.
Also, will this system be capable of 1440p 144hz or should i not expect so much?
Tell me if i fucked this up

Looks fine to me user. The only thing I would possibly change is getting some higher frequency VRAM, but thats fine. You'll hit 1440p 144hz no issue.

thanks bud, just good to know someone else has looked it over and im not just self assuring. about to look into the VRAM now

Only thing I would change would be to go to miniITX, it is simply better smaller and more portable.
Grayson Williams
why buy last gen intel. why buy intel in general.

is the 8700 really that much better? and on that note, is ryzen actually better for anything other than my wallet? real curiosity
why would i be concerned about portability in a desktop? On the "better" part though, what exactly makes it better? i assumed to go with ATX so id have plenty of room for everything to fit comfortably, without worrying about cooler conflicting with RAM and things of the nature
Michael Sanders
its mostly that full size ATX boards are unnecessary since you won't sacrifice anything by using micro atx. still get 4 ram slots etc. Even if you never move it around its nice to have a smaller footprint

You fucked this uo completely user imo

Use the R 5 2600X and oc it to 4.2 GHz. This should work with the stock cooler.
>MoBo
Either something with the X470 chipset (they've gotten cheaper) or if you want to save some sheckels a B350 one and do the processor swap for bios update.
>ram
Get 3200 MHz ram like the GSkill Ripjaw one or the better Trident Z one
>SSD
For the love of god get a M.2 SSD like the Samsung Evo 960. I have two of them in two builds and they are stupid fast.
The Ryzen architechture has 4 lanes reserved for direct M.2 connection passing the chipset.
>gpu
OK
>case
just make sure to put enough fans in there. A lot of slow fans make it silet and cool. Few fast fans make it loud.
>psu
Quite overkill. Something in the 500w should absolutely do the trick. There are no power hungry HDDs or CD drives etc anymore in these days.
Get the Xilence 530W or something like this. (have two Xilence ones and they are good)
Expensive PSUs are a meme.
1440p 144Hz should work, if you really need it get a 1080ti

not even in a cooling factor?

No, the case width is generally about the same, just height and length are different
