My Build:

- i5 7600K

- MSI Z270 Tomahawk

- Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ OC

- Seagate Barracuda 2TB

- Crucial MX300 275GB

- Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX PC25600 3200MHz 16GB (2X8GB) / Dominator 3000MHz

- CRYORIG H7

- Seasonic X650 650W / X850 850W

- Phanteks Eclipse P400

- AOC G2460VQ6


I'm not sure about the PSU, i read somewhere that overhead of PSU make your PSU last longer and with better efficiency but if not necessary I prefer saving that extra bucks.

Does Dominator RAM better than Vengeance? It cost like $30 bucks more than Vengeance here.

I intend to use this PC for mainly gaming and several multitasking with mild OC.

So far I didn't see any bad review for those parts. But if you guys have suggestion for my build parts, please give a comment. Thanks!

You're going to need 500W of power at least from the PSU but you should add more for overclocking, longevity and ofc the option to add more down the road. Seeing how you are on an ATX board, I'm assuming you're going to either go Crossfire or SLI? If not then you are fine with the 650W unit listed.

Domintaor rams are more of a cream-of the-crop kind of deal being binnned more strictly so their quality and the IC's used are much better than the Vengeance series.

Outside if these, you're good to go! ;)

Thanks for your response!

I'm planning to reserve extra PSU wattage IF later CrossFire really help boost graphic performance. But from what i read across the internet, only several games support SLI or CF support. So now i'm really confused.

If i'm going to overhead PSU for CF, what wattage do you think the safe option? I'm not sure whether to pick seasonic X or corsair RMx series (because of corsair RMx has 3 year more warranty, 7 VS 10 years).

From what u said, Dominator RAM has better quality, does it really affect real use performance? Or just for benchmark?
