Any Futureproofing Tips?

[pootissandvichheavy]

I currently have a Ryzen 5 2400G / Vega 11 iGPU / 8GB Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz, but I am planning to upgrade to a EVGA 1070 FTW2 / 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz in the near future.

I am really eying that Wraith Prism CPU cooler, so I would like to know which Ryzen CPU(s) come with it.

Any other tips besides that?

No offense but the Wraith Prism CPU cooler aint Thaaaat good and its expensive (80 bucks)
And as an alternative of the Wraith Prism CPU cooler which is not even close to the effectiveness of this... you could get this one which is the very best price - quality cooler i have ever seen : Cooler Master - MasterLiquid ML240L RGB 66.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler. (Also looks, way more Fancier than the Wraith one...)

My tip is to not attempt to future proof.

In my experience, for graphics cards its better to upgrade more frequently (every 2 or so years) at the mid to mid-high range. Then when you need more performance, sell the old card.

The top end cards are not good value unless you really need the level of performance. They lose value quickly and are often matched in performance by a much better value card of the next generation or so.

Ramlethal: Would it fit in the H500?


Robcrezz: So is the 1070 good enough?

Yep 1070 is good, but bear in the mind the cards have just come out, so keep a look out for offers and sales, as you may find the 1070, 1070 ti and 1080 at much reduced prices for a very short time while stock gets run out.

Pretty sure it will fit with no problems. Since H500 its a Mid Tower Case and also you are not doing SLI or having another cooling System or a ton of HDDs so... i see no problem here.

So I'm really eying the EVGA CLC 240 instead of the ML240L. I plan on replacing the fans with the Corsair ML120 fans that I will eventually buy.
