have a squeezey at that and let me know what you think about my build
its super good init?

What is this for? If gaming, what resolution and refresh rate? A Ryzen system will offer better value for very similar performance. Also, that PSU is poor quality and will not handle these components safely. While the other options are expensive, I would suggest either biting the bullet and getting a good one, or get a better unit from somewhere else and install it yourself. Either way, that unit should not be paired with this system.

Also, you have an overclockable processor paired with a motherboard with no OC support, so you will be at default speeds and won't be able to overclock anything.

-Unlocked processor on a locked motherboard
-360mm AIO for the processor that can't be overclocked because of the locked mobo
-Antec's VP series isn't good
-9600KF just isn't a good all round cpu
-I think I see a case of 'priorities mixed up'. Too much focus on looks that you cut precious corners in the actual muscle of the build

5/10.


EDITED.

thanks for answering
how do you know this stuff its super complicated for me to understand

Like I said, a Ryzen system would offer better value for your money, Intel performs better in very, very specific situations which you will not see with that monitor. I would suggest getting a Ryzen system instead, an R5 3600, a good B450 motherboard, and 3200 MHz RAM. You can keep everything else the same, since stock cooler is not an option here you should go for the cheapest cooler they offer, because Ryzen's stock cooler is actually enough and you don't need aftermarket cooling.

By the way, let me warn you beforehand that this exact same PC, if you build yourself, will cost much less when prices of certain parts are back to normal. Just for a simple example, a 1 TB WD hard drive costs about $35-40 online, and they are charging about $85 for the same hard drive. I only expect other parts to be worse than that. Just wanted to inform you.

Building a system around a 9th gen i5 is a big no from me. Only having 6 threads is just too limiting. As above go Ryzen 3600/3600x or 10th gen i5 which has 12 threads.

ahhh
i tryed to find all rezen stuff but not alot

Pretty good build, just wanted to know why you went with that case? OP's case of choice is cheaper at $90, is there anything better about the one you have recommended?

Also, @thewhitepowderwizard it might be worth waiting for B550 boards to come in stock as they offer equal VRM quality as X570 boards at lower prices, plus there's no annoying chipset fan.

I can't help but nitpick when users go with certain kinds of chassis... they can have their cake and eat it too; have something than can still look nice without sacrificing thermal performance.
Sure, there are workarounds, but why deal with those when they can be avoided entirely?
That chassis should eliminate the possibility of gpu thermal issues later on when they try to throw something 'bigger' in there.

Metallic Gear is a sub-brand of Phanteks.

i didnt think cases mattered that much i spending most of m budget on cpu graphics card and motherboard altho i did see that noctua cpu coolers are the best just tring to figure out if it will fit the case and socket which is reall hard being dumb at this computer spec stuff

He was replying to me, don't worry about it.

The first part of my reply was directed to Phaaze88, only the second para is for you. Anyway, since you are not well-versed with PC compatibility, I suggest you instead use PC Part Picker's website, as that checks for compatibility between most components, it'll help you pick out stuff which is compatible with each other. PC Part Picker also finds the lowest prices for each part by checking across various online retailers in your country, so that's also a plus point. Here's the link to start building a PC from scratch : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

Just pick out the basic parts you want, then the other parts that will be shown to you will only be the compatible ones. So, you can pick out a Ryzen processor, then based on that it'll only show those motherboard which support Ryzen processors. There's still a few things to make sure for complete compatibility, but it's a good starting point. @Phaaze88 has already listed two very good part lists, you just need to click on this to see that list. You can then click on Edit this Part list on the website to customize it further.

To share your list, you need to use the permalink, which is given just above the 'Compatibility' area. You can also click on the BB button, copy everything that's shown in it, and paste it directly here. Copying the URL in your browser will not work.
