Can you guys double check my build? :)

Hi guys,

I'm pretty new to this kind of stuff and figured I'd just edit a build on overclockers. My main concern is if it might get too hot or loud. I'm quite new as you can tell haha.

Also, is it made to boot up and start straight away or is there anything else I must do before?

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...-geforce-rtx-2070-super-fs-1dw-og.html#t=b1g1

Case Kolink Castle Mid Tower with Glass Side Panel - Black
Power Supply 1000W 80Plus Rated PSU
CPU AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Eight Core/Sixteen Thread Processor
Motherboard Gigabyte B450 DDR4 Motherboard
Cooler Alpenfohn Brocken Eco 120mm CPU Cooler
Memory Up to 32GB DDR4 3000MHz Dual Channel RGB Kit
Primary Solid State Drive 480GB Solid State Drive
Storage Hard Drive Seagate 2TB 7200RPM Hard Drive
Graphics Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB Graphics Card
Audio 7.1 High Definition Audio
Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Home Advanced 64 Bit

I'd appreciate any advice.

Id ask on phone, also that 1000w psu is probably a Kolink, id ask for a better make gold rated psu.

Thanks. I guess Kolink must be a bit dodgy then.

Hi Lemin. Wow thanks for putting that build together, I appreciate it a lot!

Sorry do you mean I'll have to fit it in myself? Think I might throw in a WiFi card though but I'll probably go with this instead.

This may sound a little silly but motherboards already have audio don't they? There is no need for a sound card? I say this because I usually just stick my headset in for both audio and mic although.

Are you mainly gaming with this pc or doing heavier video encoding etc?

Just gaming

Get a 3600 or 3600x

No need for a 2700 or 3700x for gaming.

Also get 16gb of ram that is 3200mhz minimum.

No need for 32GB of ram.

Also I'd build my own pc. It's incredibly easy to do and there are literally thousands of step by step videos on YouTube.

As for wait for b550 I'd probably not wait they could be many months away thanks to covid. I'd just get a 3600x and b450 tomahawk from msi because the 3600x is more than capable and the likely upgrade to a 4600x won't be worth the wait or cost.

Will be an extra £100 on the mobo and another £100 on the cpu so £200 for 10-15% more power at best which in game will translate to an extra 1-2% as games aren't cpu limited on a 3600x

So paying £200 for 2% increase in frames is quite frankly a waste of money.

Thanks for the info, I don't plan on doing anything in 4k or over locking so the previous build could've been a bit overkill!

^ This is what I was going to say if you're only gaming^

Don't get a 1000w psu, get a quality 600/650w unit (I like Seasonic or Corsair RM models)
Don't get a 2000 series CPU, get 3000 series
Get a 3600 if you might want to overclock it now or later, if you won't overclock get the 3600x - it is the same CPU but boosts slightly higher when under load.
If you can wait then get a B550 / X570 board when they come out as they will support the next line of CPU's, if you'd rather not wait get a 450/470 motherboard.
32gb of memory is not necessary, it won't make any difference in gaming but fast memory will, get 16gb of 3600mhz or close.

What resolution is your monitor?

It's 1920x1080. 144hz

Nothing crazy
