Help with component compatibility 7820x build

[yashan94]

Hi Everyone,

I'm building a PC after a long time and I would love get your comments on it. It's primarily for coding, web browsing and watching movies .(Often all at the same time 😀). I don't plan on gaming, but I would like to have the option of installing something around the level of GTX 1080 level in the future if I ever get into it. I'm hoping to get about 5 years out of it.

My current plan is,

• 
  CPU: Intel 7820X (Would like to try overclocking to around 4.5 Ghz in the future)
  GPU: Asus Phoenix GTX 1050 (Need to drive a 4k monitor)
  Motherboard: ASROCK Taichi X299
  RAM: 16GB Kit (8GBx2) 3000 Corsair Vengeance Black (Hopefully expand when RAM prices come down)
  PSU: Corsair RM750i (Going overboard but I think I'll need this if I get a 1080 and overclock the CPU)
  SSD: Samsung 960 PRO 512 Gb
  Case: NZXT S340 Elite (I'm hoping a 180mm PSU will fit fine)
  Cooler: Corsair H115i 280mm
  Thermal Paste: Arctic Silver 5 (Not sure if the built in ones are good)

Monitor: Philips BDM4350UC

Can you please give me your thoughts on anything that could be incompatible, or I could do better? I would like it to be reasonably quiet, but need to find a good middle point between cooling and noise. I wouldn't mind spending a bit more/less if I can justify it.

Thank you in advance !!

If you have so much left, you could build a 8th gen intel system!
How about this other Monitor ? What were your preferences choosing an over 40" screen?

I really wanted the 8 cores... The quad core 4th gen core i7 is starting to feel slow for some of my work. Sadly there's no 8th gen equivalent yet.

And this monitor's actually the older version of the one you suggested. I would like to get the one you suggested but I've seen quite a few complaints about ghosting.

I was going to recommend the i7 8700k with a z370 chipset motherboard.

The main difference between the monitors is contrast, the one you chose is better for shooters and gaming, you are right.

Have you considered Ryzen?

8 Cores, and is really good. You can keep the rest of the parts you have chose, especially that RAM as it is 3000 Mhz and will pair extremely well with Ryzen. The cooler in this build is also the same as the one you have choses.

Thank you ArchitSahu !!

I was really torn between the 7820X, 8700K and the ryzen 1700x, I figured the better single threaded performance of will be better for coding workloads and the 8 cores of the 7820 will be a bit more future proof. But I'm really going off of then reviews online here, because I haven't personally used any of these CPUs.

But I do see that both yourself and zoltan seem to be trying to point out that I'm wasting a fair bit of money for that little bit of extra performance... Maybe I need to think more about this.

Any thoughts about the other components?

Rest of the components are well chosen, I would stick with them regardless.
