[SOLVED] Is this a solid setup? And are there any additions or retractions that would need to be made to top this off?

Get a better PSU and you should have a SSD. For the price of that GPU I'd pay $10 more and get the 2060 Super or look at the RX 5700 (XT).

 

[supercrosses123]

The power supply is around 300w over what the power consumption is estimated to be.

The power supply is around 300w over what the power consumption is estimated to be.

The VS PSU series are very low quality, the power supply is the most important (heart) of the system and could possibly ruin your other parts under a heavy load such as gaming.

Would the 550 that you sent me for sure be enough? And if it isn't and I have to go another route, how would this do?

It would be plenty for the build & overclocking if desired.

Can't see the new list as it's set as private.

nope. is an amd board

 

[jostegogar]

thats an amd motherboard. intel and amd products are not compatible with eachother regardless of bios version.
look for Z390 or b365 if you want compatibilty out of the box.

 

[supercrosses123]

Ok same i5 9600kf processor but with this motherboard instead would be fine? Any suggestions on anything else that could hinder this from being a long term setup? I'm trying to stay at the same price range if at all possible.

[jostegogar]

dont buy any 9th gen cpu if you care about your money. huge price cuts are coming with 10th gen release.
i5s also wont be future proof since they are already maxing out in today's games due to lack of hyper threading. go with ryzen instead of you want future proof.

 

[supercrosses123]

In that case would this be everything I'm looking for in a long term setup? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VbRr6R

Nice build but that hdd is going to ruin things.

If you're going to air cool your cpu, the Fractal has front intake fans. The case ya had picked doesn't appear to have.

 

[supercrosses123]

Yeah no way in hell can I afford that and please elaborate on how that hdd would ruin the setup, it's comepletely compatible and would suit all of my needs when it comes to storage

 

[supercrosses123]

This is the highest I can go in terms of price range and I was wondering if it would do me fine for a long term gaming setup? I've had some idiot critique me on every aspect of this build and suggest me a build worth $300 more, so I was wondering if anyone with more experience in the field could enlighten me a bit more.

That HDD is big, but it's also slow. It's totally fine as a storage drive - bad idea as a OS drive.
You will want the OS on a faster 7200rpm HDD, or a SSD.

 

[boju]

I agree with Phaaze88. OS, drivers, pagefile etc (if playing games is a plan) rely on hdd/ssd speed for performance and will be held back on a slow hdd causing potential stutters. Good for storage but as said, not quite fast enough for other tasks, if games is one of them.

Sorry if build was too expensive for you (340$ more mind you compared to your last build), was only suggestions and thought perhaps you could improve your own build in regards to some of the changes, ie case for airflow.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Those guys aren't idiots, they are highly knowledgeable, experienced builders and the advice they gave you in the other thread is exactly correct. That 5400rpm drive is not a good choice. It will severely hamstring the performance of your system.

The rest of the build is fine, but that drive is not. This would be much better, whether you can afford it or not makes no difference on the fact that you will literally be installing a problem if you were to use that drive for the OS and game storage because it is so slow. Not only is it a HDD, but it is a SLOW hard drive.

This, would be much better. By MILES.

SSD for the Operating system. 3TB 7200rpm drive for game and personal file storage.

[swanepoellukas5]

I agree with Darkbreeze. However, if I may, personally I would recommend you get a cheaper motherboard. In my opinion, spending 200 dollars on a motherboard is unnecessary unless it has some sort of feature that you ABSOLUTELY need. Try looking at a B450 board, they are ALOT cheaper than X570, and every bit as good at overclocking. You can even use the money you save to buy a better graphics card. If you ABSOLUTELY need the wif-fi function, a usb dongle or pcie card will be cheaper and probably offer better performance. Another thing of note: I recommend getting an M.2 NVMe ssd. I think you can get 500gb drives for close to 50 bucks nowadays. I personally own the HP ex900.

 

[Rdslw]

If you can throw ssd inside, it will be more less best mid range build you can find.
refer this for best ssd matching your budget:

[swanepoellukas5]

Jup, just check on Amazon, the HP ex900 is 56 bucks.

Don't forget to factor in the applicable taxes on the parts. People keep forgetting that when buying parts. You may need to change some parts when you finalize your parts list.

With this build you get much more longevity for gaming. It has a highend graphics card but the CPU is a bit less powerful but that won't matter all that much as long as you're not aiming for super high frame rates.
