4070s BUILD

[GothicGhost]

My son is going to have my current PC other than my PSU
He already has a good PSU.

Current specs.
Gigabyte RTX 2070
MB GA-Z170XP-SLI.
i5-6600k @4.2
Team Group Vulcan Z T-Force 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz
Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500

EVGA 850 80+ GOLD power supply

Does this look okay?

Thank you.

 

[tamzzy]

No it's terrible.
For that sort of money you should get an AM5 build.
And a better SSD

Thank you.

you've doubled up on the ram there so s/b £1123. still a lot for an am4 build, though £600 is the gpu. I'd def lean to am5 is buying new. You'll save a ton on your next upgrade

Thank you, I need 64GB for DCS I will take a look at AM5 I was not if that be out my range.

Drop the PSU in my build as you have one and up the memory to 64gb , £1250 done.

Oh and it has a 2tb m2.

 

[Craig_d1]

I'd also drop the gpu and get the founder edition (checked and in stock for same price). Far nicer looking imho and are well put together. Personal preference though. The asus tuf psu have come back on offer. £80 for the 750w, £90 for the 850W. both are atx 3.0 compliant with 10 yrs warranty

 

[tamzzy]

i've just tidied up @mickyflinn 's build (and left the ssd as a 1tb, but better than the crucial p3)
64gb ram as you require, just note that 64gb at 6000c30 is a tough ask on any cpu memory controller, so don't be surprised if you have to lower the speed to 5200/5600 and/or loosen the timings (or alternatively, you could get the slower ram right off the bat and save some ££)
i've specced a cheaper case, i know it's kolink (groan) but their newer cases are actually of surprisingly decent quality for the price (and yes, i'm currently building in one, so it's a first hand recommendation) obviously don't expect lian-li quality for half the price when the kolink case also has 5x argb fans included lol
i've also kept a cheap psu in the spec, the sole reason is so that you can use said psu in your old/current build and sell/reuse the bugger - remove if you already have a spare

Was doing something simlar to @tamzzy ... though put antex cx700 case in..also spent £5 more for the 6000c30 rgb version..for £5, thought that would be worth it just for the resale down the line...current ddr4 sets 2nd hand seem to go £10 more for the rgb ones..bit more for those selling 32gb ddr5 as they upgrade to 64gb... and add founder edition card which is only sold 1 place...I've got same ssd, just put the 2tb version in
