Hi,
I'm a Mac User currently and set up my MacBook Pro with an external monitor to work etc.
I'm not looking to replace my mac or use a new PC as a daily driver as for my code and design work the Mac is what i need.
However i am looking to start gaming a bit more and obviously that isn't always ideal on a mac, i've looked at EGPU's but would still be a bit limited.
Below is the Spec i'm looking at as i want to keep around the £1000 budget as close as possible, and from the research i've done on each part this seems like a good build.
I'm mostly interested in things just running smoothly and being able to play any game i want too.
The Screen i'm using is - LG 34WK650 - 34" 21:9 Ultrawide
The Spec i have in mind is :
Case NZXT H511 MID-TOWER GAMING CASE (WHITE)
Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Six Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.2GHz/36MB CACHE/AM4)
Motherboard ASUS® PRIME B450-PLUS (DDR4, USB 3.1, 6Gb/s) - RGB Ready!
Memory (RAM) 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3000MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card 6GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1660 SUPER - HDMI, DP - GeForce GTX VR Ready!
1st Storage Drive 1TB PCS 2.5" SSD, SATA 6 Gb (520MB/R, 470MB/W)
2nd Storage Drive 1TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 64MB CACHE
1st M.2 SSD Drive 250GB SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS M.2, PCIe NVMe (up to 3500MB/R, 2300MB/W)
Power Supply CORSAIR 650W CV SERIESTM CV-650 POWER SUPPLY
Processor Cooling PCS FrostFlow 100 V2 Series High Performance CPU Cooler (AMD)
Thermal Paste ARCTIC MX-4 EXTREME THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY COMPOUND
Extra Case Fans 2x 120mm Black Case Fan (configured to extract from rear/roof)
Sound Card ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Wireless/Wired Networking WIRELESS INTEL® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 2,400Mbps/5GHz, 300Mbps/2.4GHz PCI-E CARD + BT 5.0
I'd be grateful for anything that could maybe do with changing or upgrading, or anything that is overkill/unnecessary.
Thanks
