Hi all!
I am finally upgrading my 4 year old PC and have just placed the order through this morning! Excited to receive it this week and spend all weekend getting it up and running!! Gonna be in dept for a few years now haha!
I've got a couple of questions for those of you who are more active on the scene than I am!
First, do you agree with my built in the sense that I have not made a mistake by choosing something incompatible or creating a bootleneck somewhere?
MOTHERBOARD= MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI
CPU = AMD RYZEN 9 3900X TWELVE CORE 4.6GHZ
THERMAL PASTE = GENERIC CHOICE
GPU = EVGA GEFORCE RTX 2080 TI FTW3 ULTRA GAMING 11264MB GDDR6
MEMORY = CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 32GB (2X16GB) DDR4 PC4-29200C16 3600MHZ DUAL CHANNEL KIT
PSU = CORSAIR TX850M 850W 80 PLUS GOLD SEMI MODULAR POWER SUPPLY
COOLING = CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H115I PRO RGB PERFORMANCE LIQUID COOLER - 280MM
SSD #1 = SAMSUNG 970 EVO PLUS 1TB M.2 2280 PCI-E 3.0 X4 NVME
SSD #2 = SAMSUNG 1TB 860 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6GBPS 64 LAYER 3D V-NAND
CASE = CORSAIR CARBIDE 110Q SILENT MIDI TOWER ATX CASE
OS = MICROSOFT 10 PRO (I need remote desktop)
MONITOR = SAMSUNG 27GL850-B 144Hz 1440p IPS
KEYBOARD = CORSAIR K70 RGB MK2, CHERRY MX RED LOW PROFILE
MOUSE = LOGTIECH G502 LIGHTSPEED WIRELESS
Should I have gone with 4x 8GB memory even though AMD doesn't support quad channel memory (if I understood that well) instead of 2x 16GB?
Second, when I receive all this, I will be comfortable assembling it all - no problem there. What I'm really curious to know though is in which order should I install the drivers for all the components once I've installed Windows? Would it make any difference in the order I choose to proceed in?
Lastly, overclocking. I understand I've got a good system already. I don't know crap about overclocking. Is it worth me diving into it and studying how to overclock systems and giving it a go on mine? Would I get a lot more performance out of it if I adventure down this path? I will be using it mainly for gaming and office work to start with. But I've built it this way to encourage me to get back into editing and start playing around with colour grading big 8K RAW video files (hence the 32GB RAM).
Thank you so much for your time reading this!
