[SOLVED] Is this a viable PC build?

[Danrespectable]

Basically I am building my first PC and so am obviously inexperienced. I want to know whether this is a good build/ am I making any mistakes? could I be getting more value for my money? Somebody mentioned to me that I could look at getting a high end Ryzen CPU as they have a better thread count but a lower ips. I intend on just gaming pretty much. Would really appreciate anyone's help!

Looks good. Pretty expensive choices though.

Could save a bit on motherboard, cpu cooler with no impact on performance.
Do you intend to OC ? If you ditched OC capability, could save even more.

 

[Wolfshadw]

Agreed. It's a solid build. You shouldn't run into any issues.

Yeah I want OC capabilities, I probably won't do it straight away but might look into it in the future. Do you have a particular mobo or cooler in mind? Thanks for your help by the way.

There are plenty of Z390 boards with prices in £100 - £110 range.
For cooler - Noctua NH-D15S, Cryorig H5.

The build looks all compatable. Your selected cooler & motherboard should be fine for mild overclocking.

Just a side note:
You may want to consider an Intel 660p NVME as a boot drive. The 660p is cheaper even though it is faster than the Samsung 860, although the difference is unnoticeable in day to day tasks.

Triple A titles are starting to prioritize multicore performance so this chip will give you more gamming longevity. The i7 9700k without hyperthreading is basically a future i5. It won't be long before future titles peg that chip at 100% load. I went with faster memory, a better NVME ssd and a RTX 2080s which will also give you more longevity before an upgrade is necessary.

Eh, I would argue 6/12=8/8.

The 9700k outperforms the 8700k in even core heavy titles. The 9700k would also outperform the 3600, but not by a lot.

 

[Fros78]

I'd get a R7 3700X, 8/16 will treat you way better, for gaming and other workloads. Get a Decent X570 board and a good cooler, and you wont even need to overclock it yourself since it already does it for you.

I do agree up front the 9700k out performs the 3600 in gaming, however that's ONLY going to be primarily 1080p gaming. There's more to the third gen Ryzen chip than just thread count and frequency. The combination of more threads and significantly more than double the processing cache is what gives third gen Ryzen superior multicore performance over the i7. That chip will out last the 9700k and the x570 platform will allow for a more relevant upgrade path. As newer more demanding triple A titles are released the 2070s graphics card will quickly become the limiting factor (if not already) which will show no performance difference between the higher clocked i7, so there's no point in spending more money on anything but the graphics card. I personally would rather have a RTX 2080s, because the above spec is an overall better gaming system, which makes going third gen Ryzen a better choice at that budget range.

So what i'm getting is that it'll probably be wiser for me to switch to an Ryzen 5 3600 from the i7 9700k and upgrade from the RTX 2070s to the 2080s? The i7 9700 seems more expensive for for not a whole lot of increased performance.
Or should i be considering a R7 3700x aswell? I'm interested in 1440p gaming although not exclusively. Sorry if i haven't mentioned that before. Also thanks for everyone's help!

 

[NightHawkRMX]

You would have a better framerate with the 3600 and 2080s.

The 3600 is equivalent to a stock 8700k, which isnt far behind a 9700k.

If you can stretch the budget to a 3700x, that would be a wise decision. What is your monitor's resolution and refresh rate?

I think i'll go with the 3600 and use that money for the 2080s, and the ASUS MG279Q which is 2560 x 1440 144Hz

My suggestion is the LG 27GL850-B. This allows 1ms fast response time with color richness/viewing angles of nano IPS and HDR:

This system is insane "bang for your buck" with ALL the "bells and whistles". You really can't spend 2k better than this.
