It is a very good computer, the GPU in this computer is very powerful and can run 1440p. The CPU is also very good for gaming

What are you planning to do with the PC? If you plan to game, those specs are great. If you plan to do some encoding, rendering, server hosting, or virtual machines, then I would recommend something else entirely. Budget is also a factor that most have to include into their decisions as well.

It's a bit "OverKill" in some things, If you consider yourself a noob then i think you are not going to tinker with it enough to warrant the H100I or the RM750i and you can always save quite a few bucks by going lower on those parts.

Don't take it the wrong way, i'm Portuguese and used to make the most
"bang for buck" i can, and also there are things you just might not use fully and gonna have it "just sitting there".
But by all means if you don't care about the costs, and try MB auto-OC's or just bragging about it, just go for it.
Just giving you both sides of the coin, so to speak.

PS- That build should max at 410W+- even with some OC so can go for a cheaper tho good 600\650W model.

For one an H100i is not a necessary purchase when a Cryorig H5 or Noctua NH-U12S gives you about the same overclocking performance for less money and there's no liquid. Two, auto OC is not a true overclock. All it does is really change the multiplier, it does not change the voltages. And 3, even though your PSU does max out at 410W, you do not want the bare minimum of a PSU to run it. You want at least a solid 550W or 600W for any solid GPU. Having the bare minimum isn't going to cut it.

OP - how much is your budget and what country are you in?

 

[Ibian Pahiva]

I stated the build will max out at 410w not the PSU ofc.
Even a bronze 80+ 600w would be in the "sweet spot".

I feel so bad that isn't the computer im building this is it. So sorry....

I live in the US and want to spend around $1100 to $1200 USD.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from logeth_gaming : "Motherboards... which one????"

This is the computer I'm building and I was looking to replace the motherboard with a cheaper alternative. I really would like to spend around $100 on it instead. Also, if you think I should change anything let me know (This is my first build). And what is Zen????




https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gDqpQV

Because you have an Intel build, Zen refers to AMD. So no need to worry about that right now. Did someone refer you to this build? Do you have any idea what this stuff may mean? Not trying to insult your intelligence, and do not want to assume either. However here is a cheaper Z170 for under $100 - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9L2rxr/asus-motherboard-z170p

850w PSU is too much, 8gb RAM isn't enough, and unless you plan on overclocking you may not need a k chip and a z170 board. Which board depends on your future plans, like whether you'll want to SLI cards or use NVME RAID etc.

I know what I'm doing. I'm very aware of the things I'm buying i just have never built a pc before. And thankyou for that motherboard recommendations.

I'm not going to do sli.

I'm not going to do sli.

If you don't plan on overclocking, you could step down to a cheaper CPU, and that should give you some money to upgrade to 16GB (not to mention no need for a CPU cooler). You can start keep the z170 in case you want to upgrade in the future, or step down from that as well.

Go with the board Herc08 recommended, and good luck....

I have updated my build and would like more comments. I know I don't really need the cooler but I want it.

Not bad. I would switch out the SSD for a Samsung or Crucial one. I hear PNY isn't the most reliable. I believe they have the same size for around $60-70. You actually need the cooler since it is a K CPU.

Other than that, pretty good.
