NO NEED* GOT NEW IDEA

MythEnvoy · 4 May 2020 at 22:34

So I've been working on it now for sometime truth a site that compares PC components to see if they all fit together, and for what I can tell. It all works together.
Its my first time building a gaming pc on my own and would like a second opinion if it truly all works togother. So I won't meet some brain errors or buy something I didn't need.

Components:

Motherboard;MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard
CPU; AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor[/URL]
CPU COOLER; iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT Liquid CPU COOLER
GPU; Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB WINDFORCE OC 3X Video Card
RAM; Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory
CASE; Corsair iCUE 220T RGB ATX Mid Tower Case
STOR; Samsung 970 EVO 500GB
PSU; Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

PERIPH; Razer mouse, razer headset, razer mousmat, corsair keyboard.

Montitors (2) MSI Optix MAG241C - 24'' 144hz
I know my screens are AMD Free sync, and the GPU G-sync. But that does not matter. If I experience any stuttering I will buy new monitor's with G-sync and sell the MSI one's.

OS; Windows 10.

So for what I can tell most of it like CPU and RAM works together with the MB.
GPU fits in case. But I am not sure if the Motherboard fits in the case. I've searched for my self and truth website if they fit together but I can't find anything.

Can you guys/girls help me figuring this out. Thank you in advance!!

EDIT-

Changed HDD to new SSD M.2 Slot
I changed RAM from 3200 mhz to 3600 mhz.
I go for the CPU cooler because I also want to go for the aesthetic's.

You'll want to remove those competitor links.

You'll want 3600 MHz RAM and you should look at the RX 5700 XT as a possible alternative to the 2070S - unless you have a GSync monitor. Do also note that new Nvidia GPUs are expected in August / September, and B550 motherboards are expected in 5-6 weeks.

Unless you're overclocking you don't need an add-on CPU cooler - the one that comes with the Ryzen 3600 is entirely adequate.

Where's the storage? SSDs / HDD?
Have you budgeted for your OS?
What monitor do you have?
Have you got peripherals? (Keyboard, mouse etc)
What do you plan to do with this, just game?

Save money on the cooler. Just stick with the OEM unless you're overclocking.

Ryzen likes fast RAM, don't skimp here.

The motherboard will fit fine, it's a smaller board. From largest to smallest, motherboard sizes are : E-ATX > ATX > mATX > ITX

Aside from the very stupid E-ATX boards, all the other sizes are standardised, and any larger case will fit a smaller mobo, eg an mATX case will fit an ITX board.

I personally prefer ATX. The only benefit of the smaller boards is compactness. Larger boards are easier to work with cabling wise, and often offer more funcionality, have more PCI-E & RAM slots, better VRMs etc Smaller boards are often more expensive too.

Answer the above questions and we can help better.

I've added your question's. Thank you for helping

The single best thing you can do to that spec right now is add an SSD. It will transform the performance. Get at least enough capacity for your OS and 'main' games.

Otherwise this is still the best advice; faster ram, see what you think of the 5700XT, and save yourself a bunch of money over buying two new monitors for the card.

I used to have multi monitor, if you must have Nvidia and a new display, perhaps consider a single Ultrawide, I absolutely love mine.

Are you overclocking? If not remove the AIO and get faster ram and an SSD instead.

Also, circumventing banned words with numbers is a fast way to earn a holiday.

I do want to move forward with the RTX 2070 Super, I changed to an SSD from HDD. and am now at a total of 1500 euros

Looks good to me.

Can you wait a few months for the new nvidia cards?

I wouldn't touch this 2000 series. Sham scam of a release so they don't deserve my money this time round. Easy for me to say having a 1080ti.

Skynet5 · 5 May 2020 at 23:14

As for cooler... Not needed, but will be quieter.

Jimbo · 6 May 2020 at 14:42

My system is roughly the same as yours although i would say the stock cooler in my case for the 3600 performed awful. I swapped it out for a DEEP COOL GAMMAXX L120T and its perfect. Temps now 28/34c I bought 16gig of 3200mhz T-force pro dark ram though as looking at 3600 MHz ram only netted 2 or 3 more fps in games.

Basic level lower than in next-gen consoles CPU and you're then wasting 100€ for no good use!
(except for guaranteedly shorter life time than in heatpipe cooler)
Arctic Freezer 34/SilentiumPC Fera3 are already way more than enough for such low end CPU.

PC Master Race is sure getting replaced by plain Cash Cow Race...
Just for comparison next-gen consoles come with pretty much non-boosting variant of 3700X.

And without knowing particular price also memory is likely unnecessary expensive for low end CPU.
Already RGB stands often for Ridiculously Grossly Bloated prices...

Nvidia has brand overprices for performance and especially future proofness is bad for the price... In any card.
Next Xbox comes with 2080 Super level GPU, which should be around mid level chip of AMD's coming GPU architecture.

Samsung brand scam overprices most of their drives.
Anyway for that budget PC you shouldn't waste M.2 slot for smaller than 1TB drive:
Wintoys10+Modern Warfare would reserve half of that small Samsung, which fits games as little as other such small drives!
Kingston A2000 and WD Blue SN550 are the best priced NVMes for gaming PC.

Just drop PSU to 650W.
For such lowly CPU even 550W would be good.

And instead of brand sticker keyboard should be selected for switch type.
Most "mechanical" switches differ quite a lot from usual membrane/rubber dome keyboard if that's what you've used.
Both in physical behaviour and noise.

Now it's more like it...
Because in place of bang per buck banged to butt would be more fitting term for many choises.
Hope mousemat isn't as badly overpriced as some parts.
Headset is quite likely to be...

And G-sync should be just called as ButtSync, because that's its purpose by limiting graphics card choises to brand overpriced ones.
FreeSync is only sense making choise for new monitors.
Also Intel is joining discrete graphics card game and while first cards are likely aiming mainstream and market PCs, Intel also has bank account size to try to go high end.
