[Jose :)]

Hello, I am building my first pc and wanted to know if the parts I choose are any good.
Thank you

Depends what you're wanting to do with it.....

But yeah, to my eyes, looks like a solid system. I'd maybe switch out the PSU for something a bit better known/good reviews as such (some TT PSU's don't fare so well).

I recently built a new system, and for an extra $100NZD, upgraded to 32GB RAM. Sure, not hell of a lot will take advantage of that yet, but its there ready for anything I do throw at it that wants more RAM.... mainly virtual machines (if that way inclined) - but for the price, was a good future proof item.

Okay thank you

Actually not a bad PSU, old school tier B by Channel Well if I remember correctly, just quite old at this point. Probably alright with this light of a system, but it should be on your short list of things to replace.

I have the 1050W version, which I bought at least a decade ago for running dual GPUs, retired it in 2018 or so.

you can switch to the 750W that @Lucky_SLS mentioned, that would push this to a 700$ build.

personally id swap to a 750w psu and either the ARC770 16gb or a 6700xt with 12gb ..

ram is okay 3600 cl16 32gb ( 16gb is usually more than enough) is my go to for AM4 not to sure on the brand though and maybe swing for a 2tb WD 850x when its on sale !!

i often go Gkill for my ram not had a problem yet
corsair is good to
M.2 ssds ive used 980 pros firecuda 530s and wd 850x all have been solid !!

 

[SorryBella]

and either the ARC770 16gb or a 6700xt with 12gb .

I would push this to the sweet budget of 800$ if I were myself. These GPU would basically tear through 1080p144 to 1080p240/1440p144 class easily.

I may sound rude when i say this but people shouldnt skimp on parts im not familiar with silicon power stuff so i dont trust it ..
If the OP cant afford stuff save some more money and push that budget a bit higher and look at quality with a bit of a life span ..
Like i said i may sound rude but my argument stands i rather see some one with a easy no hassle build for at least a few years without any issues !!

just built a 7700 6800xt 280mm actic freezer ii AIO 850w psu PC today for a friend put it together bios updated windows installed updated everything fixed the rgb lighting ready to go no issues ..
CPU 58c R23 allcore ( was actually blown away with that my old 7600x was 75c with a 420mm arctic freezer ii ) and the 6800xt should be super cool to !!
quality parts i dont expect any issues with it for years upgrade as he wants over time

I've seen worse in adjacent LTT forum and my old platform of Reddit. Ya good.

There is the Team T-Create Expert at the same price, but the sub timing on Silicon Power is slightly better at 16-18-18 instead of 16-20-20. Considering there are few hands left on the DRAM industry right now, id rather take the chance on generic.

If you're talking about the SSD, there's also Mushkin Helix-L, Western Digital SN770 the better internal Silicon Power UD90, and for a bit of premium the Crucial P5 Plus.

ive curently got 4 fully built computers 1 is my friends ill give it to him in a few days
and 1 sort of in the process ARC770 16gb a B760 waiting for a 13600k and some ddr5 ram Deepcool ak500 digtal cpu cooler ( maybe toss between that and a Noctua NH-U12A ) but if you were to see pics of all my systems they all seem to use the same parts AMD CPU's GPU's corsair PSU's arctic freezer ii AIO's or NZXT x63s noctua cpu coolers samsung m.2s Gskill ram ..
I stick with these same brands because ive never had a issue ..
not always cheap 100% agreed but out of all of them ive never once had a issue with any of them failing !!
