Hi all, first post in this Forum but I think I'd like some verification/advice on my build.
I used to build my own Systems but the last one was years ago and it is hard to get a decent overview. I've read most of the guides here but I still can't completely make up my mind.
What I want: Allrounder, FHD Gaming (e.g. Total War Series, Witcher 3), Photoshop (not expert Level), Office use, silent build
What I don't Need: 4k, Fancy LED stuff, not really Looking into overclocking
Current configuration - parts to be replaced:
Now after some Research this is what I came up with so far (I won't bother with links, most pricing sites won't work for Austria anyway):
ASUS Prime Z390-A (shall I go with a Z Series if I don't really want to overclock - just picked it because the rest of the chipsets is a jungle to me...)
INTEL Core i5-9600K (because it was the i5 with the highest base frequency)
BE QUIET! Pure Rock Cooler
HyperX HX426C16FR2K2/16 Fury DDR4, 16GB (Kit 2x8GB), 2666MHz, CL16, DIMM XMP (is 2666 enough in this build?)
BE QUIET! Pure Base 600
ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1660 Ti OC, DUAL-GTX1660TI-O6G, 6GB (here I'm struggling again. first wanted a RX580/590 but the GTX seems to be slightly better at Little Price difference and seems to consume less power. Also unsure which model to pick, one fan or two fan, three fan with LED stuff seems a bit pointless to me)
well that Pretty much sums it up. I didn't really consider an AMD CPU. Not sure why exactly but never had one in the past and also here (at least in the market I have Access to) the Prices for the same frequency are more or less similar.
Any help is much appreciated!
