So, i am building a new pc now. My current PC is...well...not so good for my purposes:
I already have: FD R6 tower, mouse+keyboard (Razer), PSU (EVGA Supernova G3 550W, but this might be upgraded if needed to and monitors.
I have received some good help and advises to gather up a solid army of components that will fulfill my preferences and that will work great in my area of usage, and this are the components i have gathered so far:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (according to reviews and others, it seems like 3600 has great performance for my purposes and goes well with the other components on the list while also costing about $155 less than the 3700X, which i was looking to get at first...)
GPU: PowerColor Red Devil 5700 XT 8gb (quiet, great cooling and performs great + great price among the 5700 XT gpus that are available)
CPU Cooler: Scythe Ninja 5 (in about all the reviews, it's gotten THE best and most solid results in terms of quietness, performance AND it costs even less than the D15... a no-brainer this!)
SSD: PNY CS3030 M.2 1tb (overall, i get even more for the same price as the Adata M.2, which costs the same as this one)
Monitor: LG 32GK850F (best overall monitor for my purposes, especially since i am going with AMD. it has a great size, quality, i've got great experiences with previous LG screens, nice features, 144hz, 1440p, and that to an awesome price of $440.. another no-brainer choice!)
Mobo: Asus X570-F Gaming (will hold nicely for years to come aka upgrading-friendly + nice connections and features + gotten great reviews. not sure i can find a better mobo than this for less than $300, or?)
So, the components above i already seem to be determined for, but i am still uncertain about the memory! I have gotten some nice suggestions, and it seems that it stands between these 3, considering that my budget is about $100 for memory:
Patriot Viper 4 Red DDR4 3400MHz 2x8GB (PV416G340C6K) vs G.Skill Black V 3200MHz
vs G.Skill Red V 3600MHz - As you can see, they are quite similar, especially in terms of price. Viper costs $15 more than Red V, while Black V costs $10 less than Red V again...
With all these components, the total will be about $1400. Do understand that since i live in (expensive) Scandinavia, we operate with different prices than in i.e US/UK.
So. I hope i have given enough information so that you lot can share some thoughts/inputs on this setup of components and how good they will be for my purposes. Thanks a lot in advance.
- Heavy streaming/multi-tasking + on-screen recording. My work consists of having several streams (4-5) available on my screens while i do some browsing and other work at the same time. Now it becomes quite laggy and sometimes a bit slow when i am doing so. Naturally i stream a lot myself too, so it's a must that it should go well with that as well.
- I should note that since i do quite a lot of audio work, i would love the system to be as quiet as it possibly CAN be, though i do understand that i cannot expect overly much on this, of course.
- Aside from that, i will do easy/casual gaming, meaning i am not demanding overly heavy gaming specs, but enough so i can game things nicely. I do NOT plan to game hardcore, for sure. And i do NOT game any FPS games. More like FIFA and RPG games. However, since i have a 1440p 144hz screen, i'd need something that can run those games nicely as well, though not necessarily on ultra/very high settings. I am not that particular picky about all that fancy graphic stuff.
- I will also do a lot of sound/video/picture editing, so i would need the system to work well enough without things needing to be processed for some slow and crazy amount of time (yep, i know it takes time to render etc.) I do not have any plans to do much 4k video editing, though. I run 4 screens now. 5th will come in some months.
