Just wanted to get some opinions on how you guys think this build would be for gaming, streaming/recording, and editing. I will be using a dual-monitor setup at 1080p 144hz.

Also, would you guys recommend a cooler & is my case decent for the price? I've heard with the Ryzen 7 1700 that a 3rd party cooler isn't necessary because it has a stock cooler of it's own.

Is anything about the build "overkill"?

All help is appreciated!

The cooler that come with the 1700 can do 3.7Ghz so unless your wanting pay $60ish for about 200mhz I would stick with the stock. I would suggest getting a Crucial MX300 1.1TB SSD instead. They are one of the top dependable drives.

1. Ryzen excels at many things but gaming is not one of them

1500x - https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_5_1500X/20.html
1600 - https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_5_1600/21.html
1600x - https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_5_1600X/20.html
1800x - https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_7_1800X/16.html

The 7600k is 15% faster than the 1600overall in gaming. Intel also leads in MP3encoding, PhotoShop, desktop apps but the Ryzen excels in the video editing (H264) and rendering (Blender) areas. The best choice therefore depends on how much you do of each and their relative importance to you.

2 Larger drives have a higher failure rate tho it is dropping, Drives w/ > 2% RMA Rate

3,48% Seagate Archive HDD 8 Tb
3,48% Hitachi Travelstar 5K1000 1 Tb
3,42% Toshiba X300 5 Tb
3,37% WD Red WD60EFRX 6 Tb
3,04% WD Black WD3003FZEX 3 Tb
3,06% WD Red Pro WD4001FFSX 4 Tb
2,89% Toshiba DT01ACA300 3 Tb
2,67% WD Green WD60EZRX 6Tb
2,39% Toshiba DT01ACA200 6 Tb
2,29% Seagate Enterprise NAS HDD ST3000VN0001 3 Tb
2,23% WD Red Pro WD3001FFSX 3 Tb
2,37% WD Purple WD40PURX 4Tb
2,02% WD Red WD40EFRX 4 Tb

You have a big SSD but remember anything on the HD will benefit in no way from having the SSD

3. Founders Edition = gimped card, it will throttle

4. PSU is oversized but no harm in that unless budget an issue. Others id look at:

5. I'd invest a bit more in the case / cooling

1. I've just heard that the Ryzen 7 1700 excels in general for tasks such as recording, streaming, and editing due to 8 cores as opposed to 4. There are many people recommeding the Ryzen for these tasks right now, but I am definitely always open to look at other CPU recommendations if you want to shoot.

2. I know the hard drives are larger, but I will really need all of the extra space for recording and editing. They eat up space like no other.

3. I've heard that this card does tend to run a bit hot, if you had to recommend a substitute GPU, which would it be? I would just need something that can push out dual monitors at 1920x1080 144hz while also maintaining 60-120 FPS in game. And also record/stream, of course.

4. PSU is a bit oversized but I always like to be safe rather than sorry, I may consider the one's you recommended however.

5. What case/cooler do you personally recommend? I want a mid tower with a good look and tempered glass panel, my budget for a case is honesly no more than $140-150 though.

Thanks
