I asked for recommendations on my second pc build about a year ago (and thanks again to mbilal2 for his/her advice at the time along with everyone else). However, Car issues forced me to push back my build plans. I am once again looking for any input on my plan build.
Approximate Purchase Date: Next month or so
Budget Range: $1,000 - $1,500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Scientific computing (Not trying to build a workstation or anything, but want decent capabilities), 1080p@60fps gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No (possibly freesync in the future)
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Location: Davis, CA USA
Parts Preferences: Going with an amd build.
Overclocking: Maybe, but in the far future
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 2x 1080p @ 60Hz; highest load would be 1080 ultra on one 1080p video playback on the other
Additional Comments: I'd prefer a plain functional case, to one filled with LEDs
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current desktop is 6 years old and I'm looking to upgrade
Planned Build List:New PC Part Picker
Case: Fractal Design - Focus G (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
MoBo: MSI - X470 GAMING PLUS ATX AM4 Motherboard
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 2700X
CPU Cooler: Stock Wraith Cooler
GPU: MSI Armor MK2 8GB OC (Already Bought from Best Buy for $250)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750 G 80 PLUS GOLD (I have this lying around that I plan to use)
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB 3200 (Wish me luck on hitting 3200)
SSD: WD Blue M.2 500GB
HDD: I have plenty of external hard drive space so for my purposes I'm not planning to get an internal hard drive.
CD/DVD: LG - GH24NSC0B DVD/CD Writer
WiFi: None (I plan to primarily use LAN, but I have a usb based wifi adapter in case I need it)
Any recommendations or comments about my build would be appreciated.
Thanks
