Hi, I'm building a computer for music production that also has the capability to game in 1440p, I'll personally put it together and that's a first time, so I'd like to ask for some general tips and clarify some doubts, as well as for your rating on my choice of components, if you're willing to do so
Here's how it is looking like:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/H8Ppmq
CPU AMD Ryzen 7 2700x 3.7 GHz
as my main objective is producing music I favored the 2700x over the 8700k due to its better multi threaded performance, posted a thread on the subject that you can read here
RAM G Skill Tridentz RGB 16GB 3200 MHz CL14 (8x2)
specifications I was looking for were CL 14, B-die, 16GB, 3200 MHz. I'll expand to 32 gigs if necessary
Motherboard Asus ROG Crosshair Hero VII
haven't researched a lot to be honest, I like Asus and read good opinions, I need USB type-C for my sound card
Storage Samsung 960 EVO 1TB
this might be a controversial one, I'm willing to pay the premium for lower noise levels (for audio monitoring) and faster file transfer/boot time, while compromising on storage space
GPU MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
I know I won't be able to run properly some AAA games on 1440p, plan is to upgrade in 2-3 years to 1080 maybe TI (no SLI), read that MSI has the quieter 1060
Display Asus ROG Swift PG279Q IPS 4ms 144 Hz QHD
IPS because of image quality, ok response time, QHD for more space since I might not be able to go double monitor (speakers placement), 144 Hz since it comes with the package, Asus because I love my current Asus monitor and their aesthetics
Power Supplier Corsair RM650i
has low db output (18.3 dB) and fan control. Pcpartpicker marks 450W when I change my GPU to a 1080TI
Case NZXT H700i ATX Mid Tower Case
still researching here... love the aesthetics on this one
I know asking for help might seem lazy but I researched a lot, however some things just pass, or are beyond my understanding (I'm really tired of researching please HELP). I also feel that when you get to a certain level there is no wrong choice, but I want that feeling of knowing every single part of my PC and understanding each choice. Main concern is will it all conect fine? I know almost nothing about that connection part... Is there any choice you believe could've been better? Give your opinion!
As for the cooling system I'm going with air, but still researching. I need this build to be as quiet as possible, if you have any tips regarding that I'd appreciate it
Thanks
