[SOLVED] 2nd New Dec 2019 PC Build

[Irishsullie]

I had an earlier build up here that I ran by you guys but never ended up getting it. Since it's later in the year, prices have changed and new gear has come and gone. Seeing what you guys think of this build. I don't need any more storage as I have some extra ones already here at home I'll be putting into the new build. I'm always down for saving more money in the build but performance is important to me. It'll be two 140 intake fans in the front and one 120 exhaust fan.

Looks like it’s gonna be hot in there.

You think I should max out the fans in the case?

 

[ScrewySqrl]

yes, I would max the fans out.. I'd also consider whether a $500 i9-9900K is worth it, when an AMD build is not significantly slower in games, and better at multitasking

It's kind of redundant buying a 9900K right now especially since Z390 will most likely be on its' way out the door this time next year. A Ryzen 3700X would be a much better investment at the time being since there's far more upgrade options available and it will support the Ryzen 4th generation. Here's what I would suggest:

High end components create a lot of heat, I’d use every fan slot available. Ryzen would be a great choice as well.

That makes good sense. I’ve heard some bad about NZXT, do you think it’s necessary over the air cooling? Also why not the 3800X?

 

[bmockeg]

Very small difference between the 3700x and 3800x. The top end speed is limited on Ryzen so there is little difference. I’d get a 3900x personally for the 12 cores but 8 is plenty.

NZXT makes damn good AIO. EVGA and Corsair as well.

 

[g-unit1111]

The 3800X is just a slightly overclocked 3700X, no need to spend the extra difference for a very slight gain.

 

[g-unit1111]

It's just a 3700X with a slightly higher factory overclock, and you can achieve those settings yourself with a few tweaks in the BIOS, there's no need to pay the difference.

NZXT makes damn good AIO. EVGA and Corsair as well.

I have a Kraken X62 and I can definitely vouch for it, it's a pretty impressive piece of hardware. The software, I can take it or leave it, but the X62 is one of the better AIOs I've used.

Any particular reason you recommend the NZXT case over the Fractal Meshify C? It's my understanding the Meshify has better airflow and if this build is going to be a hot one I would think that would be the better way to go.

I have an S340 and I don't notice my case getting too particularly hot. That can happen but in most cases you won't likely notice unless you're doing something that requires serious use of your graphics card.

Hopefully last questions here, do you think the 2080 Super is worth it over the 2080? Looking at FPS differences it seems that pretty much across the board I'd be getting only a 5fps increase in most games. Seems not really worth the cost. At the same time, if I'm spending that much already for the 2080, the 2080 super isn't that much more. Also do I need to go up to the 2080 at all, I know the 2070 super is likely a much better value. Would I even notice the difference in fps between them. Thoughts on GPU? Also looks like there may be about a 11% bottleneck with this set up (GPU/CPU) but I'm sure that would be fleshed out later with upgrades anyway.

Depends what your monitor is, you haven’t mentioned. For 1080p a 2070 super would be plenty and a bit overkill. For 1440p I’d get the 2080 super.

I'll definitely be getting a 1440p with the build. Thanks for the response!

 

[bmockeg]

No problem. If you want to push close to 144fps at 1440p a 2080 super is the minimum I’d recommend and really would prefer a 2080ti if you want everything on high settings.

If you're getting a 1440P then I would definitely go for the better GPU.

I have a PSU CORSAIR| HX750 750W RT from 2013 in my old build. If I give it a good cleaning do you think I could reuse it in this build?

I wouldn’t recommend using a PSU that has outlived its warranty on a high end system such as that. Will it work, yes. How long is anybody’s guess. Everything electronic wears down and the capacitors get worse as they age.

 

[g-unit1111]

I have a PSU CORSAIR| HX750 750W RT from 2013 in my old build. If I give it a good cleaning do you think I could reuse it in this build?

Yeah it could work but I personally wouldn't trust it given that it's that old. I mean yeah sure you probably could if it works but considering the age I am not sure how long it would last. The capacitors will have most likely worn out after 7 years and you would provide the proper power that it would be providing when it was new.
