Hey guys!
I am currently putting together my new gaming rig by myself and therefore I have some questions. I'm just gonna clear up potential questions about what I am going to play and on which res on this PC. The PC may be a bit overkill for what I am going to use it for - mainly games such as CS:GO, Call Of Duty MW, League of Legends, Forza Horizon, F1 etc. but I'd like to have a future-proof computer that I can play any game on without having to worry about whether my computer can handle it on 144hz or not. It is mainly going to be 1080p gaming but I will definitely get into 1440p gaming down the line.
The pc build I have in mind right now:
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Asus Strix B450-F
G.Skill TridentZ Neo 3600mhz CL16 2x8 gb
Intel 660p M.2 NVME 1 TB SSD
MSI Geforce RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio
Corsair ML120 Pro + ML140 Pro
Corsair TX650M 80+ Gold
NZXT H510
My questions are:
1. I've looked everywhere about whether the B450-F from Asus supports more than 3200mhz ram but I can't find a definite answer. I've seen a lot of builds with it where people have used more than the max 3200 mhz ram set by Asus. Is this possible?
2. Since I am overclocking the Ryzen 5 3600, should I dump the stock wraith stealth cooler and go for an AIO? I am currently inbetween buying the Ryzen 5 3600 + an AIO (presumably the X52 Kraken or the H100 platinum from Corsair) or upgrade to the Ryzen 7 3700x and stick with the wraith prism cooler since I've heard it can handle temps pretty good under load on overclock. The price I'd have to pay for the Ryzen 5 + AIO will be the same as getting the Ryzen 7 3700x anyways. What is the wisest choice?
3. I haven't ever put a PC parts list together by myself before so I'm pretty clueless about whether the 650 watt PSU will be enough. Is it enough or should I upgrade to the 750 watt instead?
4. Any suggestions or improvements to my build? I don't really have a budget but I don't wanna spend more than necessary since I am looking at a new car at the moment.
Thank you and good day to you all
