Any feedback on this build?

[apersonwhoexists]

Everything has already been ordered and paid for but I would appreciate feedback.
I'm planning to overclock the 3600X which is why I went with a non-stock cooler.

Without knowing what it's for it's impossible to comment.

What's your max budget?

How much did it come to?

What monitor are you pairing it with, what resolution and refresh rate or make and model if you're unsure?

 

[apersonwhoexists]

I'm pairing it with a AOC G2590FX 144Hz 1080p monitor, its basically for general gaming, some light stuff, maybe some heavier titles, I don't really know yet. I got a earlier quote with better prices so I believe the entire build should come to just under £1100 and thats basically the budget.

 

[SpyderTracks]

You can balance it much better for the same money, can you provide the configuration link otherwise we can't edit it?

 

[apersonwhoexists]

Only problem with that is because I've changed it a couple of times the link leads to a different spec. Unless you have a way for me to configure it and then send you a link rather than doing it through orders.

 

[apersonwhoexists]

I can't proceed though because it wants me to change the processor and the motherboard because they are out of stock.

Sorry, forgot you'd already ordered!

Can you post the full configuration as it's missing half of it, want to make sure I match it pricewise.

Sure

Ok, so that's coming in at £1135, but we can rebalance it a bit without affecting performance, you should be able to make these amendments online without affecting the queue time at all:

Case
CORSAIR iCUE 220T RGB AIRFLOW MID TOWER GAMING CASE Case is really important to the build, this is far better for cooling and everything else really
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.2GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4) Only real benefit to the 3600x is the cooler, literally the same chip. See below for more info
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX) - RGB Ready! X570 much better for futureproofing and has PCIe 4
Memory (RAM)
16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card
6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1660 SUPER - HDMI, DP - GeForce GTX VR Ready! Plenty for 1080p 144Hz
1st Storage Drive
2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 256MB CACHE Upped storage drive size
1st M.2 SSD Drive
512GB PCS PCIe M.2 SSD (2000 MB/R, 1100 MB/W) 128Gb just isn't enough at all, 512 is the bare minimum for gaming.
DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
NOT REQUIRED
Power Supply
CORSAIR 550W CV SERIES™ CV-550 POWER SUPPLY
Power Cable
1 x 1 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead)

Thats definitely some interesting changes, I'll have to have a think about what I want to change based on that, the storage is definitely overkill because I only need windows and 2 or 3 staple games plus my most frequently used programs, which will all fit, on the M.2 SSD, and I'm not sure a 2TB HDD is worth it for the storage over the 1TB HDD. As far as the WiFi card goes, is there a massive difference? Will having the cheaper card really bottleneck the multiplayer experience or is it primarily for the faster max speeds? As far as the 3600 goes fair enough, I'll probably put the extra money from that into some other changes.

Thanks for the feedback, and I may be back to ask a few questions.

 

[SpyderTracks]

As far as the WiFi card goes, is there a massive difference?

The cheaper card is only wireless n and only 2.4GHz, both of which are very old now. The other card is only a few quid more and supports AC and dual band. It's basically not an option if you're gaming.

I can't stress enough, you will be eternally disappointed with 128Gb OS drive. It's just not achievable on a modern gaming machine, unless you're only playing 15 year old games.

A lot of modern games are 100Gb these days but most are £50 and windows on it's own with updates and cloud storage will easily cover 50Gb
