First build - component advice

[Thorsten_2]

Hello guys, I am going to build my first system, and am looking for some advice.

Approximate Purchase Date: Next month

Budget Range: 1200-2000

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Home, high dimensional data analytics, gaming

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Do you need to buy OS: No, I am going to run Debian

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: No

Your Monitor Resolution:1920x1080, likely two screens with roughly 32 inch each

I was considering the following system: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YV86gL

What do you guys say? Does the system make sense? What is going to be the bottleneck in terms of performance?

First things first, THANK YOU for using the supplied template. It makes everything so much easier! As fo the build, I am not too sure of what high dimensional data analytics is, but from inference, it sounds like it would eat up CPU cores! Because of this I have configured a Ryzen based system, which has 8 cores and 16 threads, as opposed to 4 cores and 8 threads on the i7 side of things.
I am not sure if what your doing requires 32gb of RAM (though keep in mind that most tasks cannot benefit from more than 8 or 16gb of ram, and that for most tasks 32gb is completely overkill) but I left it in anyways.
I upgraded the GPU to a 1070, which will be far better at gaming and, perhaps more importantly, will bbe far superior in any hardware accelerated tasks.
All of these upgrades, of course, cost extra money, and so I stepped down the case, because lets bo honest, nobody needs a 570x (core P3 looks amazing though).
I have massively changed the storage because, although you mightn't know it yet, 250gb is not enough storage! I chose an X370 motherboard, not because it overclocks better (it doesn't), but because it supports SLI, so you can upgrade to dual 1070s easily!

Hope this helps!

P.s. anything here can be changed. I hope everyone can take a look at this build and make their own suggestions, not just the OP

Thank you for your quick response!

I am not too sure what to think about the new Ryzen to be all honest. Yes the AMD does have more cores, but is it going to outperform the intel 7700K, especially considering I would not mind some gaming from time to time? Furthermore, I was thinking to use the Samsung 960 Evo as SSD, since the speed is simply mind-blowing in my personal opinion.
About the case - Yes you are absolutely right. Definitely changed that part! Same with the Motherboard, considering I might want to upgrade at some point, it is probably a good idea to choose a motherboard that allows me to do so.

I would take THIS wireless adapter over the other one. Also, THIS hard drive over the WD Caviar one.

 

[Thorsten_2]

Even though your suggested wireless adapter does not support ac? Why do you recommend this specific hard drive?

 

[doctorC]

The TP-Link one goes to 5 GHz, and is a lot more hassle free than the other one. The antenna's are on the adapter versus, having an antenna sitting on top of your computer. The seagate one is mostly personal bias, because it performs so well and friends have same results. WD Caviar drives have a history of "melting down" and breaking.

Hey,
First things first: ever since Ryzen I have been in love with AMD, so I do have a personal Bias. overall the i7 offers between 10 and 20% better single core performance, which matters for most games, but both are not likely to be the bottleneck (that would be the 1070, although it is also certainly good enough for your needs).
Point being that both CPUs are more than good enough for your needs in terms of gaming, and with more support for higher core counts, Ryzen will probably perform the same or better further down the line, because it has 100% more cores and threads!

A few other notes: depending on who you trust, the Hyper 212x is either the same performing or far worse than the cryorig H7, which by all accounts is also quieter, however if the 212x is cheaper, then go for it. And last thing, I totally understand your lust for speeds measured in GB/s, so I won't contradict you there!
However I would recommend going for a 2tb HDD instead of just one, seeing as they are about $10 more expensive!

Hope this helps!
