Hello everyone,
I'm building my first PC very soon and I'm trying to perfect it as much as possible, please keep in mind that I really dont want to go over 1600 USD, here is the link to the build. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RRJZhq
Thanks to your appreciated efforts.

Hy, I changed some things to your build to boost the performance https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mg4hCy

I would get a 3rd party GTX 1070 with better performance and cooling like MSI GTX1070 Gaming X or Z or ROG STRIX GTX1070 O8G GAMING over the FE if that is indeed what you have chosen. Better performance and much less heat and noise.

Also have had hands on experience with the Hyper 212 EVO not a very good performer. I've had good results from a Thermaltake TRUE Spirit 120M BW Rev.A. Even on a six core Ivy Bridge E CPU it performs quite well.

That PSU is not a bad one but has average 12V ripple suppression and Capxon (Crapson!) capacitors for filtering on the modular daughter board. To be clear a good 550W PSU is enough for this build but I would personally go for a better 650W unit (as PSUs lose some of their nominal capabilities - their edge if you like - after 1-2 years).

I'd rather get nothing, absolutely nothing AMD. I'm going for Intel and Nvidia. AMD, as I heard, is not good for 3D rendering. Plus, a GTX 1070 would cost around $400 as a minimum, RX Vega 56 would cost at least $454. Extra 50 dollars for no reason.

All that my PC needs is 355W. I'm getting a 550W. I'm good. Even with the decrease of performance after 1 - 2 years...

OP, u got ur facts wrong. The vega beats both the 1070 and 1080 with 56 and 64 respectively. The only downside to it is the power draw.
And ryzen is equally good in 3d rendering when paired with a fast ram kit. Ryzen looses only in lightly threaded applications.
But I respect ur decision if you wanna stick to intel/Nvidia

I don't know if you heard that or not... But AMD will not be able to get the "fab" technologies for its CPUs next year due to them being overpriced. Intel will be able to do so. So, I think it is a bit logically incorrect to buy a motherboard with AMD sockets rather than one that has an Intel socket... The fact about the vega, I'm going to research, and if correct, you would have saved me from an extra hundred, or two, bucks.

Did some research regarding the Vega, the GTX 1070 is better for my uses.

Thanks to your appreciated efforts.

Something like a 6gb 1060 would still preform for all AAA titles and even video editing/consumption. A 1060 would also save you some money you could put to a ssd for your os, thus resulting in overall faster performance and load times.

 

[Khaloodi]

An SSD is just pointless. I'm willing to spend as much as possible for throughout performance, not startup times and things like that that do not matter.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

Regarding the fab technology, it's going according to plan now. Initially there was no 12nm plan, just directly to 7nm and that was dependent on tsmc. Now in 2018 they are going for the 12nm, same as Nvidia Volta. This is for the ryzen refresh. Dunno if it's the 12nm or 14nm formula the yet to be released mid range Vega cards.
