[SOLVED] How does it look?

[freddyrobins143]

This is my first pc and I am a little unfamiliar with bottlenecking, I dont know if any of my parts are being bottlednecked by others and I am already at my max budget. How does this pc build look overall as well? I plan on doing some hobbyist level 3d modeling as well as some pretty decent gaming, I am locked on with the video card, I bought it from a friend for a really good price.

Very nice build , all solid choices. Well balanced.

Don't get too hung up on "bottlenecking" - every system has a bottleneck in some way, and it depends on the workload.

For "decent"(?) gaming and hobbyist level creation, the 2700x is a solid option. Similarly, a 2700 or 2600 would serve the purpose well.


If it were me, I'd make a couple of changes, but nothing that's going to change performance necessarily.

1. For the money you're proposing for a B450 board, I'd opt for an X470 offering.
2. For the type of money you're looking at for 250GB + 1TB in M.2 & 2.5" storage, a single 2TB NVMe SSD is just about doable, albeit Intel not Samsung. A 1TB SATA drive (M.2 SATA or 2.5") is probably sufficient for most people though.
3. Some alternatives on the PSU front likethe TX750M for $60.... The G3 is a very good option though.

Again, no wholesale improvements, just some aspects to think about.

What are the advantages of an X470 motherboard over a B450?

AMD B450 chipset preview – X470 features at a lower price - KitGuru

Today’s headline news is that AMD has launched its B450 chipset for AM4 Ryzen. Much as we would love

In this scenario specifically, there's not a whole lot in it.
The TUF X470, I believe is a 6phase VRM vs 4+2 on the B450-F, but it's going to be fairly negligible.

In a general X vs B setup, you have a couple extra PCIe lanes, USB & SATA ports available on X over B.
In some instances, you may also have SLI support too (only available on X370 and X470). The TUF X470 is not one of those boards however.


As a side note, I briefly had a defective B450-F. Not to say they're all bad, but I have some reservations about the BIOS on the board.
