[SOLVED] Building a PC for Gaming

[KarthikNS]

Yo! I'm building a new PC and would love to have some input on it.

CPU- Ryzen 7 3700x
Motherboard- MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus
GPU- GIGABYTE RTX 2070 SUPER
Memory- Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz (2x8GB)
PSU- Corsair TX-M Series 650W 80 Plus GOLD Certified
Storage- 1TB WD HDD
Case- NZXT H510 ATX Mid-Tower

So, is this a good build? Or is there anything I should be replacing?

Looks pretty good- decent cpu, motherboard, GPU and PSU so thumbs up there....

You might want to look at higher clocked memory- 3600mhz ram is sweet spot for Ryzen 3000 series cpu's. The performance difference between than and 3000 won't be huge so depends on price but usually a 3600mhz kit wont cost you much more.

Also for storage don't go with an HDD, they are really slow and SSD drives are quite reasonable these days. Ideally look at an NVME ssd- your machine will boot faster and games will load quicker (it also helps for things like texture pop-in in big open world games). The old advice was to use an SSD as a boot drive + HDD for storage but these days 1tb NVME ssd's aren't very expensive so that is what I would opt for.

I would change the memory:
the sweet spots for memory performance is DDR4-3733 CAS 17

followed by DDR4-3200 CAS 14 and DDR4-3600 CAS 16, just a step behind

you also want an SSD
