[d_animality]

Greetings All,

Need suggestion on building a new system including new monitor, budget is around $2800, please recommend me the best brand i can buy

Preferences -

1. RGB tower case that can include at least 2 Sata HDD (since i have my pictures and important documents from my current PC) - good airflow, easy cable management, spacey and sturdy/sleek/beautiful
2. i9 Processor
3. 4x16 RGB Ram
4. Curve Monitor
5. NVIDIA graphic card RTX 30 series
6. M2 SSD 1TB for system
7. Water Cooling system
8. Power Supply
9. MOBO to cater all above
10. Anything additional that any of you recommend to include

I am planning to buy these all early next year so i am collecting information as much as possible right now

Thank you very much hoping to get replies soon

Stay Safe!

EDIT: Im gonna use this PC mainly for gaming at high settings and Photoshop and Video Editing.. and my current PC lasted me for more than 15years with its Q6600 processor tho its aging right now..

Im looking to build this PC to last atleast another 15 years or more

Looks great. To save money switch the cooler to a Scythe Fuma or Dark Rock 4 and reduce RAM to 16GB. Performance will be the exact same, it will run slightly quieter and you save $150

Thank you for the suggestion but I prefer to go with liquid cooling

Here's what Newegg list for MSI Z690 boards. You want to look at the DDR4 boards.

Do not get an MSI board. They are total trash. Have a search on this forum for how many people report issues with MSI hardware.

Gigabyte and Asus are the only two brands making consistently reliable and dependable boards these days.

Between those two, Asus makes the higher performance boards, but there’s very little in it.

Oh no but which ASUS board will do best in ur opinion?

Which is the best amongst those 3? Im not really good at picking RAM in terms of CAS and Latency

TBH I'd go with3200mhz CL16. Crucial, Corsair or G.Skill. Easier to set your timings in Gear 1 and there's little to no difference between 3200mhz and 3600mhz for these Intel 10/11/12 gen cpu's.

Ah okay will see and keep that in mind, because when i check the the price, some of the 3200 is higher or almost the same with 3600 (if this is the case should i stick with 3200 or just bump it to 3600)?

Anyway i changed the GOLD seasonic to PLATINUM because there is a huge discount and made the price lower than the GOLD... so i bought it immediately along with the case Phanteks

Lastly can you recommend me the best RGB fan (interms of price and quality) for exhaust? because the one you recommend above doesnt have RGB lighting, looking forward to your next replies and thank you in advance!

Usually the cooler comes with thermal paste. With that said I've always liked Arctic Silver.

I will keep this in view, do u have 2nd option, im loking for bigger 30 inch above and curve monitor (if there is for me), please use the shopee website thank you again

 

[Nighthawk117]

Is this monitor better than the ASUS u suggested earlier?

The Asus is IPS where the Dell is VA, they both have pro's and con's but for high refresh rate IPS is better.

After considering some of your suggestions, how about now? I have problem in selecting the PSU... and how many exhaust fans do i need for that case? and that is a bit way for my budget, but i dont mind wait to save another $$ but i would welcome any recommendation to reduce it

It's an amazing build, apart from the PSU which you've already mentioned it's a great set of components. As for the case, I assume your going to put the AIO in the roof of the case. In which case you'd want the 3 front fans as intakes and either a 120mm or 140mm exhaust at the back, I'd go with 140mm.

Yup i saw ppl build it and they put it on top so im gonna follow that! And yes i defo going for the 140mm so its the same as the intake fans that came with the case

I don't want to put you off, most of the large panel high refresh options are VA. I'm just saying that all things being equal IPS is normally the better technology for high refresh rates because it's response time is better. Some VA panels are very very good, others can suffer from motion blur. The Dell is a very nice monitor, but an equivalent IPS will offer a faster response time.

Sorry what? The one benefit of VA over IPS is the faster refresh rate. IPS panels have lower refresh rates but better viewable angle, colour reproduction and less blur.
