help with future build

[LiquidMotionz]

like said i have a build I will be completing within a few months, and just checking to see if my components look alright. I will be overclocking the cpu to 4ghz with my cooler(not stock). I already have a rx 580 nitro + and will most likely buy another for crossfire or just wait for vega to come out. Also is there a different psu i should go with? $144 seems a bit much for 850 with corsair link, but I need 850+ watt psu for future proof purposes

Your build will work as is, but I have some thoughts:


1. I would not plan on using dual cards as an upgrade path.
Dual gpu has some issues with stuttering, screen tearing, and even non support.
My upgrade plan would be to replace the RX580 with a single great card.
Today, that would be a GTX1080ti; tomorrow, perhaps vega or whatever.
Such a card will run on a quality 650w psu.

2. The psu you picked is excellent tier 1. There are some other options if price is an issue:
I particularly like Seasonic:

3. Ryzen seems to be popular these days. But, if your use is for gaming, how many threads can be usefully used?
2-3 for today, perhaps more for tomorrow. Games depend most on a fast single master thread.
Overclocking ryzen seems to top out at 4.0 with a good chip.
A similarly priced I7-7700K will usually go to5.0 with a better IPC to boot.
Most any Z270 motherboard will do.

4. I will never again build without a SSD.
At the very least, buy a 240gb ssd for windows. Perhaps you can defer on a hard drive, it is easy to add one later.
If 1tb will do you, consider buying a 1tb ssd up front.
Samsung 850 evo would be my pick.

If you go the Z270 route, most motherboards will support a pcie m.2 device like the Samsung 960 evo m.2 with transfer rates of 3200mbps.
Or, it will support Optane devices with 10x lower latencies in the future.

I would add a SSD to that build at least as a boot drive. It will perform much better than the HDD. As for the power supply, as new GPUs and CPUs are developed, they are becoming less power hungry, meaning future proof may not mean that you need more watts. I would wait till Vega releases and see what wattage is required as they should be more efficient than the 580s and would require less PSU to run. But with that being said, don't go cheap on a PSU. Seasonic, Corsair, and EVGA are the only ones that I would ever look at.

hey man maybe i should update my description but i will be using this for rendering videos, streaming, programming, photography, and i will add an ssd within a few day of me buying this, just for right now i need a new hard drive. And for the psu i'm just wondering because its $144

also about this motherboard, i cant find anywhere but does it have a clear cmos button? i will be overclocking and just want the best and easiest way of resetting the bios
