AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor
Cooler Master - MasterAir MA410M 53.38 CFM CPU Cooler
Asus - ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard

Really need a advice because the vega 64 have a recommendation of 750 PSU and i don't know if i
should get that. And i would like to add some rgb fans in the future. but i don't know if that depends
on my mobo. And any tips and advice would really help thnx.

Well besides the PSU I was questioning the storage as you can get the Crucial MX500 500gb M.2 for much cheaper as performs just as good as the 860 EVO and then get a 2TB HDD for storage.

Yeah i would like to but it's the only available PSU atm at the local shop and i'll definitely replace it if something better shows up.

But in terms of compatibility is there any issue?

No problem, nice build! I have the same motherboard, for DOCP to work make sure you put the memory in slots A2/B2 as putting them in A1/B1 causes the system to crash and lowers the speed to 2133mhz (found this out the hard way).

One last thing, I'd dump the CPU cooler as the one that comes with the 2700X works great and does have RGB in it.

Oh wow thanks a lot for the heads up.

And about the cooler i just bought it because of the recommendation from the tomshardware and it's fairly cheap at the local shop so i just bought it, anyway i really don't like the looks of it but at least i got choices now.

Thanks!!
