Hello Everyone,
I am building my first computer in 10+ years. Therefore, I am in need of some advice/feedback. A few of the things I need to know are (1) if it meets all of my computing goals and (2) if I have selected the correct parts and if there are any better suggestions.
In terms of computing needs, I want to be able to Overclock the CPU to 4,5Ghz (if possible) along with OCing the GPU & RAM (in the future that is), a super fast PC for various multi-tasking requirements, able to run a 2-way SLI/Crossfire setup (in the future) along with a fully functional M2 PCIe (for my OS) and for fast encoding/rendering videos along with photo editing, streaming and other similar operations. I also plan on futher upgrading the system (at some point in the future) with more water-cooling (for a themed build), better GPU cards for 4k gaming and whatever else I might need.
Some of the things that I am unsure about is the motherboard and the PSU. Specially, which one is better for what I want to do and if there is any other better options out there that I might have missed. (That goes for the rest of the build). Also is there any way I can improve on my build and if so, how? I am already almost at my budget of 2400€
Below is the planned build and any advice, help, and/or feedback is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks in advance!!!
