My new planned build. Any suggestions or warnings are appreciated.

[lupaz]

Hi all,

I'm planing on building the following.
If the experts here can take a look, that would be great so I don't make a stupid mistake :)

Case be quiet! Dark base 900 $167.85
AMD Ryzen 7 1700X $369.99
ASRock X370 Taichi AM4 ATX AMD Motherboard $189.99
HyperX Fury 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 2400MHz DRAM (Desktop Memory) CL15 1.2V Black DIMM (288-pin) HX424C15FBK2/32 $266.99
Corsair Hydro Series H105 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler $124.99
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound $7.99
EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750G 750 Watt G2 ATX 12V Power $89.99
Geforce Titan X (already in use in current build, and will buy ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 Overclocked 3GB as replacement as I'll use the older computer remotely) $174.99
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" Internal SSD $200
Windows 10 64 pro $99.99

Total: 1,690

So what do you think?
I wouldn't mind spending more if it's worth it. Do you have suggestions?
Am I forgetting anything?

Thanks!

[lupaz]

Anyone?
Thank you!

Looks good to me :)

I presume that 1700x will get OCed to 1800x levels and I suppose if you ever want to go all out on the GPUs you can still slot 3 cards (or 2+ the extented). As far as CPU performance goes... After OC you'll be hitting 6900k levels so thats pretty good!

I might consider a slightly beefier PSU but thats about it given the price range you are in :)

edit: Maybe you could get a 1800x instead and try hitting the 4ghz limit on that one. I know, the value with the 1700x is awesome but it could be a safer bet to get a hunder CB points more...

[lupaz]

I don't have a price range really. I'd get better stuff it was worth it.
But I don't think I can get a much better workstation for more money...Can I

PSU, 750 is not enough?

[Nejc Kilar]

Honestly no, not that I know of a way to get a better build for the money.

Ryzen is my go-to for a 1500$ build - no question about it. 6900k performance levels for half the price. Even the single threaded speed is excellent.

One way would be to go for a used Xeon build, you could get two 2683v3 for about 800$ but then the dual socketed motherboard is more expensive as well and you also need ECC ram (which is surprisingly expensive, at least to me). At that point you are over the 2400$ mark easily. That said, the rendering performance would be  more than twice the Ryzen speed. Then again... Its used parts :)

Anyway, Ryzen looks sweet, to me its no configuration to scooff at. My only advice for a bigger PSU would be if you plan on sticking another titan in there ... any its probably gonna cost you 20-30 more euros now and more regrets later if you go down that road :)

I like your setup :)

Oh! Ok. Got it.
Not in my radar for the moment, being Corona CPU only.

Thanks mate.
Cheers.

All looks good.
Since you're already going with an AiO I'd look how much more a 280mm version costs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the NZXT X62, Corsair H115i and EVGA CLC 280 have newer generation pumps and might have better warranty. Also, 280mm would allow keeping the same OC with lower noise.
Not much else to suggest :)

[lupaz]

The reason why I didn't get the NZXT x62 is because of the bad reviews on newegg, and the reviews for the Corsair Hydro Series H105 couldn't be higher. That was the only reason to be honest.
What's an AiO? :) I have no idea...

Noise is VERY important for me, so I'm very interested in you answer. Thanks.

AIO - all in one coolers, like the X62, H115i, CLC 280, etc :D
I have only built one system with older Corsair H110, and that was loud as hell. But a friend recently bought the Kraken X62, and I was very surprised at how silent it can be, if you don't push the fans to max. So going from 240mm radiator (like H105), to 280mm (like X62, H115i, CLC 280), might allow you to run the fans slower and get less noise ;)
As usual, I'd say just get the one that has the best local warranty for you, or good manufacturers warranty.

Closed aftermarket kits, esp. the Corsair can be rather loud :- ), just search for general sound levels (Corsair can easily reach 39dBA like nothing happens). The small cheap pump is mediocre (and buzzing all the time) but it's the fans that are no good and now you have them right on top of the case.

I personally don't understand the general public affection for these systems in most (Corsair indeed does have perfect review scores lot of times), esp. the cheaper systems like Corsair, must be the fascination of filling childhood dreams of having "water-system" for the sake of it.
Any high-end air cooler (like Noctua tower) will end up slightly cheaper, same or better performance for most, and more silent.

I am more partial to the fancy semi-AIO lego kits from XSPC/EK/Alphacool. The price is midway to custom build, but already with good performance and acoustics for most part.

[lupaz]

Yeah.
I think I'll change it for an air cooler.

I just read this article and it freaks me out a little.

Thanks guys.
I bought a Noctua
Peace and quiet.
