Is this a good build?

[Guest]

I'm making my first gaming build and I wanted to ask some people who are experienced to see if this is a good build for gaming, please reply any recommendations or changes or I should make or any questions, thanks in advance. I'm also planning to heavily overclock.

Motherboard: Asus Crosshair VI Hero
Memory: Team- T Force/ Nighthawk 16GB (2-8) DDR4-3000
Storage: Sandisk SSD Plus 480GB
Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM
Video Card: RX 580 or Vega
Case: Zalman Z11 Plus
PSU: Rosewill 650W 80+Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX



OS: Windows 10 Home
Monitor: Asus VS229H-P 21.5" 1920-1080

Also do you think it is worth it to get an optical drive?
I also am going to play games at high quality at 1080p AAA

I thought that DDR4-3000 didnt work with Ryzen CPU's yet.

ddr4 3200 works, but some motherboards and ram kits are a problem, so constant bios upgrades have helped alot

some users still report ddr4 at 2133

i remember a report on a article, someone overclocking to 3600mhz, so progress continues

$1984.55 before $55.00 in mail-in rebates (MiR)

To make it work requires scaling some things back. (BTW: this Ether mining has made the RX570, and RX580, in addition to the GTX-1060-6GB, prices over-inflated.

MIA from both of these builds is the bling element you wanted: RGB: DEEPCOOL RGB 350

It works, as does 3200... you need the latest BIOS for the motherboard though, and even then, there are some that have issues working right.

Missing:


OS: Windows 10 Home
Monitor: Asus VS229H-P 21.5" 1920-1080
Keyboard: Redragon K552
Mouse: Redragon Centrophorus M601
Speakers: Cyber Acoustics CA-3090 10W 2.1ch
RGB: DEEPCOOL RGB 350

which pushes it over $2000.00 CAD, including MiR

If I waited for Vega to come out how much would it Averagely cost and is the cryptocurrency mining craze going to affect this card, also how powerful would it be?

thats y i said "platform" instead of "build"

regarding Vega and mining craze, u will definitely have stocks of Vega gpu at the launch prices. so i would suggest u to get it while stocks lasts. or it will end up the same like the gtx 1060/1070 rx580/570 now.
i think u can expect better performance from Vega comparing the similarly priced cards now.
