Question Have I Spent My Money Wisely

[Jonathan_80]

Good evening,

I've just ordered after much research the following items for a new PC build (excluding the GPU 'RTX 2080ti' as I already own this and the tower) and I was wondering if I'd spent my money wisely? I was torn between Intel and AMD - like lots of people I'm sure.

So, have I spent my money wisely for an Intel build or would I get better value/performance for money going with AMD? I'm not looking to upgrade my GPU anytime soon and I am not too fussed about PCIe 4.0 (although the MB supports PCIe 4.0 if using an 11th Gen CPU with a BIOS update or so I'm lead to believe).

Intel i7 10700K £274.94
Asus Prime Z490 A £209.99
Corsair Vengeante 32GB x2 DDR4 3600MHz C18 £174.26
Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe M.2 £135.54
And lots of Corsair RGB fans, Aio CPU coolers and controllers

Thanks in advance for your help/advise.

Looks about right for the parts you've spec'd for your build. Out of curiosity, what is the make and model of your PSU? If it's being recycled from an older build, please include the age of the unit. Number of fans in the build? Model for said AIO,. fans and controllers?

Ideal thanks for your reply!

So no real benefit in using the AMD equivalent?

PSU is a Corsair 750w RM750X
AIO is a Corsair RGB H100i twin 120mm cooler
Fans (3x) are Corsir QL120 RGB
Controller is a Corsair Commander Pro

Cheers

All looks fine to me provided that power supply isn't too old as it's a good unit.
