My New Build Any Advice On Parts?

Domwaffle · Feb 6, 2017

My Specs

I7 7700K 4.0Ghz
Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler
Asus Strix Z270-E ATX Lga1151
Corsair Vengence 16GB DDR4 3200 Memory
Samsung 850evo 500GB SSD
3TB 7200RPM HDD
Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB
NZXT S340 ATX Mid Tower
Corsair CX 600W PSU

Just Looking To see if these will work well in a build and also if the CPU cooler will be good when overclocking the 7700K.

P.S first post on this site.

I'd replace the low quality (Tier four) Corsair CX series PSU with good quality Seasonic G-550 (Tier two) PSU.

Who is the maker of your 3TB HDD?

Btw, NH-D14 is one of the best CPU air coolers.

Other than that, build looks good.

The HDD Is A segate I believe

Out of 4 major HDD makers: Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba and HGST (Hitachi); Seagate HDDs have the highest failure rate.

For 3TB HDD, i suggest you either get Toshiba or HGST HDD. Western Digital is only good when you use the 1TB HDD from them.
