Hi all, first-timer here. I hope you can help and give advice.
Best timing for a laptop to stop working so my plan to update to a new PC has to be done earlier. I do have a keyboard and a mouse and I thought to get a machine with some basics and upgradeable parts later this year. I do have the budget to go for AMD 5700 or Nvidia 2070 cards but just do not the see the point at the moment.
MB: MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI (AMD AM4) DDR4 X570 ATX Motherboard
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X Eight Core 4.4GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail
CPU-Cooler: SCMG-5100 Mugen 5 Rev.B CPU Cooler (Not it stock at the moment )
HDD: 2TB Barracuda 5400RPM 2.5" Internal Hard Drive - PC and PS4 (ST2000LM015)
SDD: MX500 2.0TB 2.5" SSD SATA 6Gbps 7mm Solid State Drive
Case: Eclipse P300 Air Midi Tower Case - Black Window (the provided fan will be installed on the top. Decided to take this one after watching reviews at Gamers Nexus.)
PSU: Straight Power 11 550W 80 Plus Platinum Modular Power Supply
GPU: Radeon RX 580 Arez Dual OC 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
RAM: Team Group Edition 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C16 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit (looks like a good alternative to the high priced G.Skill B-Die RAMs)
Case fans: 3x P14 PWM PST Black Fan - 140mm (Not it stock at the moment )
Monitor: a cheap 20" for now as I am thinking it is better to wait and buying an ultra wide monitor together with a newer GPU in autumn/cyber monday.
I have a room which gets dusty fairly quick and also warm during summer, which influenced my choice of case.
Mostly playing Hearts of Iron 4, Stellaris, World of Warships, Avorion, Empyrion in multiplayer with friends and the C&C remastered for now.
Would this build be alright/smart for now to get a running gaming PC? It has been six weeks now.
Thank you.
