I'm looking for a new computer to play games on high graphics and still be able to record at high quality, I also do a lot of editing. (already have a graphics card)
wonder if you guys have any suggestions or Improvements?

Yeah, it looks pretty good. Definitely replace the 2070 Super with a 3070. The 3070 performs as well as a 2080ti. The 3070 costs $500-$600, so it would save you money and perform better. Do you already have a case and DDR4 memory?

I don't know what case I should get at the moment? but here's the ram that ill be using :https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Ve...4+32gb+3600mhz+kit&qid=1602575813&sr=8-3&th=1

That RAM is very good quality. I recommend a Corsair Carbide case. It is a great looking case. But, the case is about personal preference. I'd say the $100-range will get you some pretty sweet looking cases that have a good amount of features (such as USB 3.0, USB-C, PSU covers, and room for cable management).

 

[Lucas.bv]

What Corsair Carbide case do you recommend? and also what water cooler would you recommend as well because id like to get a good one.

Corsair iCUE 4000X RGB ATX Mid Tower Case

Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L RGB The cooler master liquid cooler is the best for the money. It would fit on top of the iCUE 4000x, where it has space for a 240mm radiator. I wouldn't recommend getting a 120mm single fan radiator, because that probably wouldn't be enough cooling. If you want a 360mm radiator, you would have to remove the fans on the front of the case, which I assume you wouldn't want to do. Also the 360mm radiator is a bit overkill. I just feel like these two would be a great combo. Cooler Master makes quality stuff.

so would everything shown would fit in this case? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Te...d=1&keywords=iCUE+4000x&qid=1605649044&sr=8-1

 

[MyMindIsBlank]

Yep.

 

[Lucas.bv]

is the master liquid cooler a good cooler cuz I want to make sure that I get a good CPU Cooler?

Yes, Cooler Master is a great brand. It offers great quality, and at a cheaper price than other brands like Corsair.

 

[Lucas.bv]

Also is the motherboard that I'm using, is it compatible with the CPU? is this looking better: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6k3FZZ

 

[MyMindIsBlank]

Yep. The motherboard is socket AM4, and the CPU is AM4.

 

[Lucas.bv]

Thank you so much man this is so helpful where can I go for someone to build it, cuz I'm not confident enough to build it by myself.

 

[MyMindIsBlank]

Do you know any friends that can do it? If you don't, try to find a locally owned computer shop to do it, because the big stores will charge 2-3x more for it.

 

[Lucas.bv]

umm, there should be some shops nearby that can do it, can I just bring it into a computer shop and just ask them to build it for me?

 

[MyMindIsBlank]

Probably, yeah. I would try to call ahead to see if they will do it, but I can't see why they wouldn't.

 

[Lucas.bv]

Is that all I need for my PC?

 

[MyMindIsBlank]

Definitely get thermal paste to be put on the CPU. I wouldn't leave it up to the computer shop to use their own thermal paste (which they probably have lots of) because a lot of thermal paste is pure garbage. It only costs about $5 for it, so why risk the shop using crappy paste? Something I noticed just now (sorry for not noticing earlier) is that the motherboard is an Intel, not an AMD.

This motherboard is basically the same, except that this one is socket AM4 for your Ryzen.

Thanks so much, I was about to buy it and how hard is it to build a pc for the first time?

 

[MyMindIsBlank]

Not too hard. everything is pretty straight forward. I would recommend watching someone on YouTube building a PC. The only thing I would say is to be careful with the parts and buy nitrile gloves. You probably don't really NEED the nitrile gloves, but they are good to have anyways because of static. A You Tuber I recommend is Linus Tech Tips, as he has pretty good guides for this sort of thing.

 

[Lucas.bv]

Thanks so much for helping this pc is going to help me do my work so thanks brother, good luck and stay safe : )

 

[MyMindIsBlank]

Aight, you too!
