I just want to know if everything is compatible with everything else especially the case?

Thank You.

Yes the case is capable of supporting the 280mm radiator for the liquid AiO cooler, and should fit everything else.

It's a good looking build.

Seems like you'd go with a 2TB HDD and possibly a 500GB SSD. Drive space is scarce when it comes to installing today's games.

 

[Barty1884]

All compatible, yes.

Case supports ATX boards, 280mm Rads in the top or front & GPUs up to 296mm with the drive cage installed (the AMP! is 210mm).

All good.

 

[zyh1987]

component wise, its fine, however, if you want rgb to work, please refer to the manual, and see if the rgb ports are compatible. you will destroy the rgb by connecting it to the wrong voltage type (some rgb header uses 5v, and some uses 12v),

The ram should be 3200 for maximum speed benefits from the Ryzen

[geofelt]

Take the time to verify that the ram you picked is compatible with your selected motherboard.
The ram kit should show up on the motherboard ram QVL list.
Failing that, it should show up as a supported kit in the corsair ram selection app for your motherboard.

Build are crap. It is overpriced and budget is being spent in wrong places.

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_ryzen_7_2700x_review,19.html

That article (unless I missed it) doesn't directly compare 3000 vs 3200MHz.

While yes, 3200MHz (at least on Gen1 Ryzen) was a bit of an improvement over 3000MHz... it wasn't always economical, and 3000MHz was the best "bang for your buck".

Haven't seen anything definitive for 2nd Gen, other than increased memory support.

If prices are the same/very similar, a 3200MHz kit may make sense.

Build are crap. It is overpriced and budget is being spent in wrong places.

I wouldn't go that far, but I agree about the budget for a "gaming" rig. Would probably be best to move some of the CPU budget into the GPU.

You do end up going down a rabbit hole though.
If you opt for a stronger GPU, you should probably look to either a higher refresh rate monitor, or a greater resolution.
If you already have the monitor though, you'd be just fine..... just a little under utilized.

 

[geofelt]

Build are crap. It is overpriced and budget is being spent in wrong places.

I don't know about "crap"
But, you have a point.
for a balanced gamer, one should budget about 2x the cost of the cpu for the graphics card.
Likely a GTX1070 class card and a lesser cpu.
Most games depend on 2-3 fast cores for performance.
Most of the 16 threads of the 2700X will go unused.

Criticizing without bringing a solution or another option is pointless.



The build is actually great and the machine is pretty good.
Still, it is overpriced in some parts and there's plenty to be done in price distribution across the others more important parts.

Nevertheless, a R5 2600 with a GTX 1070 is wiser IMHO.

 

[King Dranzer]

I get the point that you guys are unaware of prices on PCP India. I would advice you guys to check on prices by visiting the Amazon.in website.

It has been nearly 2Yrs since India has been included in countries list and still PC Partpicker is unable to tackle this problem. Don't know why.

 

[King Dranzer]

I would also recommend avoiding EVGA GPU(or any other component from that brand) recommendation as officially EVGA is not available in India.

 

[Barty1884]

PCPP for India only pulls from Amazon. Yes, sometimes the prices are skewed a bit (ie the 1070TI shows at 39000 via PCPP, but 55000 on Amazon).

That's pretty typical for all PCPP sites though, not exclusive to the Indian 'site'.

The OP used PCPP, it seems logical to continue to use it, no? While there may be regional availability differences, without knowing specific where the OP will be shopping, we're pretty limited in what we can do/link.

As for EVGA, as confirmed by EVGA here:

Hello,

Our warranty does indeed include global coverage. India is supported by our EU team and the warranty terms are at http://eu.evga.com/support/warranty

The shipping location is determined by the EU team at the time of RMA but it will either be to Germany or Taiwan.

https://forums.evga.com/EVGA-WARRANTY-SUPPORT-IN-INDIA-m2588406.aspx

Warranty is worldwide, and applies in India also.

While yes, there's no official retailers, Amazon is selling/shipping from the US - and are an authorized retailer there.... so warranty would apply.

AFAIK, Gigabyte are the only GPU vendor with service centers in India. In my experience, their customer service/warranty isn't the greatest anyway, so locality may not matter in the event you need to file a claim.

At least EVGA's warranty service (and "step up" program) is solid and, generally, reliable

Problem is not with warranty but with the shipping policy. EVGA states that if something fails and component being under warranty needs to be shipped to its service center by the customer. Customer has to pay for the shipping. There is no service center in India. To ship Internationally it cost a huge amount and is lot of pain.

*A* list, not *the* list.

A very solid build..... but for the money there, you could still do "better' from a Gaming perspective.

CPU: R5 2600X (₹18,868) or R5 2600 (₹15,328)
Motherboard: Auros Ultra X470 (₹11,899 - out of stock currently) MSI Gaming Plus X470 (₹13,384) or the Tuf (₹13,899)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4-3000Mhz 16GB(2x8GB) (₹13,998)
SSD: SAMSUNG 850EVO 250GB (₹5,675)
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (₹2,950)
GPU: Zotac Reference 1080TI (₹66,999)
PSU: Corsair RM650x (₹8,699)

₹125,548 - ₹131,088 depending on specific components.


At anything from a 1070TI through a 1080TI though, that 1080p/60Hz monitor is looking extremely disappointing.

Problem is not with warranty but with the shipping policy. EVGA states that if something fails and component being under warranty needs to be shipped to its service center by the customer. Customer has to pay for the shipping. There is no service center in India. To ship Internationally it cost a huge amount and is lot of pain.

As I mentioned, the only company I'm aware of with a service center in India is Gigabyte. The terms will be the same for any company - you pay the one-way shipping to the service center.
While international shipping has a cost, and can be a bit of a pain...... the actual warranty terms/customer service reputation from EVGA should offset it.

Of course, if there are more (say, MSI or Zotac or anybody else) with centers in India, then they may make the most sense.

 

[King Dranzer]

ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, Zotac, Corsair, Cooler Master, Seasonic, G.Skill, SAMSUNG, SanDisk, Crucial, Kingston all have dedicated Retail centers and Service centers in India.

 

[ElectrO_90]

Well, the ram at 3000 is still not very good, as it is CAS 16, which is less than average for 3000, should be 15 or lower.

 

[King Dranzer]

Companies like NZXT, beQuiet, Noctua are not available or have limited supply.

 

[Barty1884]

ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, Zotac, Corsair, Cooler Master, Seasonic, G.Skill, SAMSUNG, SanDisk, Crucial, Kingston all have dedicated Retail centers and Service centers in India.

Good to know. When I was looking earlier, I couldn't find anything from GPU vendors.

Visit ASUS.in(Indian site) and check under the Service menu you will get the option of "Find Service Locations". Same goes for MSI and other brands. All major cities have Service centers. Cities which have no Service center at-least have certified Resale Outlet where they can handover the component which failed for the further shipment to nearest service center. Most of the time(95%) it is free of charge and when charged it is minimal amount compared to shipping internationally.

Exception: Corsair and DELL as they always send their support team to our address no matter where we live. That is the main reason I prefer Corsair for PSU and AIO over other brands.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from 2.yash2003 : "Gaming PC Compatibility Check!"

I've created a build on PCPartPicker that I am a couple steps away of ordering. I was just wondering if it was possible that anyone could give it a quick look over to confirm that everything is indeed compatible before I order it all. Thanks!

Link: https://in.pcpartpicker.com/user/YashKumar/saved/GPZtJx

Looks all good! Although, a 500W PSU seems a little unreliable for the rig you have going on. I recommend going for a 550-600W PSU unless you don't ever plan on maxing specs via overclocking.

Are you really that fond of the Kraken x62?
You've noticed that you are going to spend more than half of what you're paying for the GPU just in a single cooler right?

You must know that the Ryzen already comes with a pretty decent cooler within its box and the Kraken, while good, is mostly just for show...
With that price difference you get a MUCH better PSU and a GTX 1070.

Which, IMHO is a much wiser call since you'll get a more powerful/solid PC instead of a flashier one...

I'd recommend this any time:

But, if you're just looking for reassurance on compatibility, you're good to go. No problems there. Only, as stated above, 500W might be too little if you wish to overclock and that model isn't the best/safest you can find...

MERGED QUESTION
Question from 2.yash2003 : "Is 600 watts enough for this build...?"

16GB Ram and etc.


Thanks!

A quality 600W unit should be sufficient, absolutely. The CX600 however, is not overly great quality -- especially for the price listed there!! (~8,000 rupees).

The SeaSonic Focus+ Platinum 750W, fully modular unit is 7,087 and a top tier quality unit.
https://in.pcpartpicker.com/product/dCs8TW/seasonic-focus-plus-platinum-750w-80-platinum-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-750px

750W is most likely overkill IMO but, with overclocking you should operate at near peak efficiency for the unit

The psu you need is primarily gated by the graphics card you will use.
600w usually power even a GTX1080ti.
Here is a nice chart:
http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

Of more importance is the quality of the psu.
Look for a tier 1 psu from a list such as this:
https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/

I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will allow for a stronger future graphics card upgrade.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.

They should be compatible.
Sry... Edit... 8/10 for gaming performance

CPU and memory are compatible with motherboard, all other components are sound and no compatibility issue noted, enjoy your build.

You could probably save on the PSU, you dont need that much, 550w will be fine and also the windows licence key ,buy it online cheaper.
Get the X470 Taichi, solid motherboard.

Don't create multiple threads. Check the previous one you created. People answered your question there. You should also include your max budget in the description.
