Help with a build

[tdmaster]

Ok so I'm going for a 1440p build for decently cheap, I wanna be able to play games at high to ultra for a while. I'm just asking if anyone knows where I can cut a couple of corners, btw I already have a psu( the one in there is for a different build) and storage. Thanks in advance

That PSU is junk and will probably ruin your other parts, spend the extra cash and buy a much better unit as the PSU is the most important part of the system.

As far as saving money I would go with the 1600 as it comes with a cooler which you can still overclock on.

PSU has to go. the corsair CX550M is far less likely to fail and kill the system. with a 1080 I suggest a 550W in any case that PSU is all wrong.

Yeah that psu needs to be replaced. But you could save $30 by going for the ryzen 1600 instead of 1600x. You can OC the 1600 to 3.6 ghz+

Guys I literally said that the psu in there build IS NOT for this build, I have a spare psu that I'm using.

I saw that. my opinion of that unit is so low I would not use it in ANY system unless I had too.

All the psu is running is a cpu and hardrives, I'm not going all out on a light working pc for my mother.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from tdmaster : "Good enough for 1440p at high?"

As the title describes, is this build going to be good at 1440p high 60fps.

its more than enough man

I'd say you would be good for even higher frame rate at 1440P with 2 GTX 1080Ti's. more like 120+ unless you like me and do max settings with heavy filtering and AA (say 16x by 8X) then yeah should be good for 60-90 FPS, depending on title.

That computer won't have any problems with 4K. Let alone 1440p. Going by the monitor you selected. I'd assume 4K is your goal.

missed the monitor resolution cause of title...but yeah should do 4K at 60hz at max setting with medium to heavy filtering/aa in 95% of games.

1. The twin Tis is overkill for 1440p ... but you didn't select 1440p, you selected 4k in ya PCPP list.

2. The Kraken is a complete waste ... inadequate (0.11 gpm) pump, cheap aluminum radiator,noisy fans but it does have LEDs if that's the deciding factor. As you can see here (23:00):

... the Swiftech H240-X (copper radiator, 1.0 gpm pump) kicks the Kraken's tail while being 1/6th as loud.... it's cheaper too.

3. Be aware that if ya 4 sticks don't function together you have no RMA options... only sticks purchased in the same package are guaranteed to work together. These come in a package of 4 x 8GB, are guaranteed to work, and are cheaper

4. I would recommend against 4 TB drives as they have a significantly higher failure rate than 2 TB drives. Also remember that nothing installed on that drive will in any way benefit from the SSD. Look at options here:

If gaming library exceeds 400 GB or so, I'd consider SSHDs

5. Your chosen monitor is not compatible with your card selection. And with this amount of investment in the PC, that's a rather paltry sum for the monitor by comparison.

Right now the best gaming experience today is on the 1440p, IPS 165 Hz monitors using the AU Optonics panels on the Asus PG279Q (8 bit) and Acer XB 271 HU (10 bit). With a week or so, the new AU Optronics panels (144 Hz , 4K IPS w/ HDR) are expected to drop and everyone who bought a 4k panel in recent months is going ti have a sever case of buyers remorse.
