Hi!
I just need some review on my build, if all parts will work well together or something would be better to replace etc.

Main purpose of the build is for games on monitor in the list on high settings. I'm upgrading from years of playing on notebooks so want something to finaly enjoy games on full settings or close to it :).

List of parts (PC part picker)

Thank you for answers :)
 
Not the biggest fan of Barracudas anymore they appear to struggle with qc sometimes.
I'd go WD black (if performance is important) or HGST instead.

Scythe coolers have a pretty good price/performance ratio but they can get a bit noisy. If you can invest 20-40$+ you can get an even better cooler that if you plan on oc the CPU, will handle that more silently.

Keep in mind both these suggestions aren't really big issues or critical and reflect primarily my personal experiences

But overall looks like a good build!

Thank you :).

I looked on the coolers, i read a lot good reviews on Noctuas coolers. So i checked them, and there is Noctua NH-D15S and NH-D14. The difrence in price is like 2 euros. Would be better go for the NH-D15S? And im not sure if it would fit in the case i picked :D.
 
both fit the case easily.
the R5 can take a max 180mm cooler, the ND14 is 160mm, the ND15s 165mm
both are fine, both provide overall the same performance, the 15s being maybe slightly quieter
just go with what is easier to obtain
