Hi all

Please help to review my new build PC, it's pure gaming machine.

Ryzen 7 2700X
Aorus GA-AX370-GAMING K7 AMD X370 (AM4) DDR4 ATX-MOTHERBOARD
TeamGroup VULCAN T-FORCE 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHZ x2
AORUS GTX 1080TI (11264MB GDDR5)

Already have 850W PSU (if needed more PWR?), 480GB SSD, and 1440p 120FPS G-SYNC screen.

Is this build too much? I read on recearch Ryzen 7 not a very good pair with 3200MHz+ DDR4 RAM.

Hi

Go with the R7 2700 as it is cheaper. You can still overlock it.

You are fine with 16GB Ram for gaming. Looks like you have 16GB x 2 (32GB) there ?

An X470 chipset would be better as the X370 might not work without a bios update. Something like the Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming if you want a mid range option. The Gigabyte X470 Gaming 7 is the top end but costs more money.

Please do explain a bit more on X370 might not work without a bios update?
