Any thoughts on this build?

[ExoticAzule]

Hello!

I'm creating a build at the moment which will be a high-end RGB gaming pc, some thoughts and opinions on of how I can make it better or try to improve its performance and also lower down the price a bit but get similar performances.
Thanks in advance

I have lowered the price a bit by changing the mobo and also only 16 GB ram as 32 GB is way overkill for gaming. Many games are still very fine with only 8 GB.

@Kaser Jorgensen I have OCD so it makes me feel better about having all of the ram slots full, also I plan on possibly streaming Ark or some other games, I also love the look of the mobo I'm going with right now.

Well using 4 sticks of RAM in a dual channel motherboard add's stress to the memory controller in he cpu, I wouldn't recommend 4 sticks just because you think it looks better only if you need the extra ram.

That is a very good psu but 850watts is overkill and too much for the power supply to operate at peak efficiency under load, 650watts would be more appropriate for that system.

Why three monitors over say a good 3440x1440 ultrawide 100z monitor? I would much rather have that personally, Ireally don't like NV surround monitor bezels ruin it.

If you care about high end paste, there are much better paste's than arctic silver 5 nowadays.

That is a lot of money to be spending on fans.

Other than that it looks okay for a high end build.

@Dunloop Do you know any motherboards that are better with 4 sticks of ram? Or a quad channel motherboard? Also in regards about my monitor selection, I personally like a triple monitor setup and I don't really mind the gaps, it also help with multitasking if I ever wanna play a game on one monitor and also watch a video say on the other, it's just personal preference.

Not on LGA 1551, only dual channel. Go with 4 sticks if you really want, I personally prefer function and value over form but it's your build.

If I was spending that much money I would want something higher than a 1080 vertical resolution. I think a good monitor is one of the most important quality's of a high end build as it is he interface between you and all your expensive hardware. I think pairing that system with some mid range 1080p TN panels is a damn shame. But again your build.

@Dunloop Say if I were to go with 4 ram sticks and the same mobo, what kind of performance would that effect, like would it effect the speed of the computer or the processing speed?
Also about the PSU would 750 Watts be apropriate for the build, so that way I could have some more room for overclocking?

Well that kit is on your mobo's QVL list, so it should be able to run it at 3000mhz with advertised timings. Often 4 sticks in a duel channel board can limit the memory speed and timings you can achieve. But if it's on the AVL list it should run at those speeds. So performance should not be affected. The only downside is that the extra stress on the memory controller add's more heat which could affect it's lifespan, no idea how much.

750watts is fine if it makes you comfortable, it should be in it's efficiency curve with a decent gpu and cpu overclock under load. However 650watts is still more than enough to overclock every component in that sytem and still have room to spare. A 1080 ti will use only around 330watts with an OC to 2050mhz, leaving 320watts for the rest of your system which is more than enough.

Just buy whatever you selected in first place. We cannot help you save money on the build when you refuse to take note of what we suggest.
