Im planning to building a pc in a few weeks time. This will be my first full build and i'm confused on how some of the parts work. Also worried about compatability issues among the components. I have some questions, hopefully you guys can help me out. This is the part list.
Cpu - i7-8700k
Ram - TridentZ rgb 2x8 2400
Gpu - Gtx 1080 windforce oc
Aio - Idcooling auraflow 240
Case - Phanteks p400s TG
Mobo - Asus strix z370 f
Psu - Corsair cx550
Ssd - sandisk 240gb
Hdd - 1tb
First of all, is 550w psu enough to power this setup? Im only planning to add another ssd, 1 case fan, and 2 sticks of ram in the near future.
As for the rgb, there is only 2 rgb headers on the mobo. But i have a total of 5 rgb components (2x radiator fan, pump, 2x rgb strips) im planning to use a 1 to 3 splitter for the aio and just chain the 2 strips. Will that work? Also, if i use the rgb header for my rgb strips, can i still control or via the case rgb controller? Or only via asus software?
For the fans, if i plug it in the mobo, will i still be able to control it via the case fan controller?
Also.. I kinda just threw all these parts together because it looked nice and was within my budget. If you guys have better suggestions please do let me know. Sorry for the noob questions. Thanks!
