Help with a new rig

bossghost007 · Dec 4, 2017

Hey fellow gamers so I'm building myself a new gaming desktop and I would appreciate if someone could help me by simply telling me if the components are well chosen and if this is enough for AAA games at fairly decent graphics at 60 hz( the monitor is going to be 60hz so going beyong that won't really help). Here are the specs:

Thank you all in advance

which country do you live in?

vapour · Dec 4, 2017

On the build, 8600k with Cryorig H7 is enough
you need better mb to overclock 8600k
tsm too slow, 2666 is much better
psu can be better quality and 450 is more than enough
most I5/I7/Ryzen can handle 60 FPS easily.

First , I live in lebanon
Second the cryorig H7 isn't available in my country the thermaltake watercooler won't do the trick??
I don't aim for crazy high overclocking just the one that come with the bios you know the automated overclock . Will a better mobo still be required? (The MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon for example)
The ram got me going crazy since prices are reaching all time high I'll check and see if I can better
About the psu , any models to recommend? I won't build the pc myself so I don't rlly care about modular or not
Sorry for the long answer
Thank you for your time

Automated oc is still oc... motherboard needs to have good vrm.
In your case, I5-8400 with stock cooler and cheapest z370 mb may do the trick. For PSU, Corsair TX550M is good to have, Seasonic focus point/evga supernova g2 550 are better. If those are too expensive, try to find Seasonic S12ii/M12ii 520 or Corsair CX550M. If you have a website, can look for you.

8600k does not need water cooling, btw.

bossghost007 · Dec 4, 2017

The cheapest mobo available is the one I chose( only 4 msi models on the website but still if you have a recomandation to do I can maybe ask for it)
The website is pcandparts.com

bossghost007 · Dec 4, 2017

Since the link doesn't seem to work just use one of the links sent above( first message)

https://pcandparts.com/team-t-force-night-hawk-rgb-series-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-3000/
is the ram I will use, if too expensive for you, get your single channel 2400...
psu: https://pcandparts.com/cougar-cmx550-bronze-modular-550w-psu/

bossghost007 · Dec 4, 2017

I'll ask for the one channel ram
Thx a lot for the psu
As for the cpu cooler , i wanted to get the MSI interceptor L but since it was pricier and air cooler I decided to go with the watercooler. Isn't it better?

vapour · Dec 4, 2017

your water cooler is fine.

bossghost007 · Dec 4, 2017

Thx a lot vapour for your time and effort gd night( it s 11am in leb)

vapour · Dec 4, 2017

good luck.

bossghost007 · Dec 4, 2017

I m sry I forgot to ask weither case fans are needed or not?

vapour · Dec 4, 2017

better case:
https://pcandparts.com/nzxt-s340-ca-s340mb-gb-black-blue/

Or add 1-2 120 mm fans to your case, the case has only 1 fan, too few.

bossghost007 · Dec 4, 2017

vapour · Dec 4, 2017

That is fine, get 2 then since 120 is kind of weak.

bossghost007 · Dec 5, 2017

Ok thx a lot !!
