What do you think? (My Build)

JayGallagher · 12 Dec 2021 at 17:17

I have not built a gaming pc for around 5 years so a bit rusty, might ask some silly questions but hey I’m sure your all nice :cry:

This is the basic build sticking with onboard graphics until February/March time

Is it all compatible like the M2 with the motherboard (prob is lol)

And I’m new to water cooling what’s the best for that as the cpu has no heat sink and I want hard pipe water cooling, anyone can recommend a good water cooling setup that would be amazing

Where is the GPU?

JayGallagher · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:05

Using the motherboard onboard graphics for now

AORUS · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:14

I would have gone for a Corsair RM 1000W Psu for a future GPU

JayGallagher · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:15

Reasons ?

AORUS · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:22

The RTX 3090 recommends 850/1000w RTX 3080TI 850w I have a 1000W in my old build

JayGallagher · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:27

Ok gonna go for

AORUS · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:36

I would go for a brand name PSU Corsair not cheap one but that me, my PSU came with a 10 year warranty but if you're on a budget go for a Corsair 850w

JayGallagher · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:43

Ok gone for this lol you made me :cry:

It is worth it in the end for a future build + GPU

AORUS · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:54

Are you gaming on a M.2?

JayGallagher · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:55

Yes as it’s better data transfer I’ve read

AORUS · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:57

Do you know the WD colours? Blue is for main stream, Black is gaming

JayGallagher · 12 Dec 2021 at 18:57

Oh lol

AORUS · 12 Dec 2021 at 19:04

I would put a link but it's against the rules on the WD.

And last for the Ram Corsair
