Hey guys hope you are doing well

I’m trying to have a really really good gaming pc. I’m a streamer on twitch. So I don’t know what to upgrade next. Mind you I’m aiming for a pc to handle triple a games, while still being able to multitask . Any suggestions will help .


Rig:
I9 9900k
MSI RTX 2070 8 gb gaming x Twin Frozr
128 SSD & 1 TB HDD
700 watt PSU
Noctua NH-D15
MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Plus LGA1151 MOBO
Coolmaster Masterbox Pro 5 RGB ATX Mid Tower

What 700 W PSU? I don't see anything that immediately needs upgrading here. Are you having any problems?

Not sure what you'd want to upgrade? Are you having slow load times?

 

[silenthunt316]

I mean I don’t have no problems. I’m just little worried about my temps. I don’t know what’s the safe range

I think the only thing That could be upgraded is my storage. My 1tb HDD is alright almost full.

9900K: 100C is the critical temp. It's usually advised to stay below 85C for everyday use.
2070: 81C, 88C max.

CORRECTION: that's your specific model 2070.

GPU about 80°c is safe, 84°c to hit throttling, but to be honest keeping it in the 70's would make me happy. As for your CPU "technically" 100°c and you'll start to see throttling, but preferably in the 80's for longevity.

@Phaaze88 Internet high-five xD

The highest my cpu goes is 74C and gpu below 65C

Look for 1TB SSDs like the WD SN550 or ADATA SX8200. They range about $125-$140 usually.

Also, your PSU? I'm a bit worried because it might be something that needs to be upgraded immediately.

@refillable how come this one is lower in watts ? Isn’t it supposed to be the opposite

Don't mistake the power output for quality of the unit. As long as the PSU has enough power for the system a lower wattage higher quality one is worse to have.

There is a shortage of parts though, none of the quality power supplies are in stock and those that are are prices much higher than retail.

@refillable so you recommend the Asus PSU?

Yes.It's the best one right now But, since you risk degrading your components faster with that smart PSU, it isn't that bad of a value compared to what it used to. Note that the pre-ordering went back from the 8th to the 14th. Get fast!
