Hi all, hope your day is going great!
I decided to build my own custom rig. I want to get back into animation / video editing. I've had limited experience with builds (took a few apart, upgraded components etc) but feel confident I can navigate through it and end up with a solid build. I am buying parts as and when I get the funds. So far I have purchased: * Case: Phanteks Eclipse P400A D-RGB Gaming Case - White - £75 * Motherboard: Asus tuf gaming 570x Plus (WiFi) - £185 * Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 - £80 * Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1 TB NVMe M.2 Internal SSD - £178 Need to purchase: * CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Processor (8C/16T, 36MB Cache, 4.4 GHz Max Boost) - £285 * GPU: PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Red Devil 8GB GDDR6 HDMI/3xDP Video Card - £400 * PSU: 550w? 650w? £75-£125? I shall get another fan or 2 to improve air flow and stick with the wraith CPU fan for now. My mind and stomach is set on the Ryzen 7 3700x CPU. The GPU looks like a beast, but I am open to ideas regarding GPU. Sales might affect my decision on this. I'm a bit stumped on the PSU. Help please? Need a reliable brand, fully modular, ATX, around the £75 mark perhaps, but can invest extra if a more suitable one reveals itself to me. Thanks for reading this. I am looking for any advice, suggestions, potential issues etc Cheers Alex |

Thank you very much. Yes I've been wondering if the extra cost of the Red Devil 5700xt is worth it. I'm going to keep my eyes open for those deals. I have time to wait. GeForce, sapphire look good.
Not sure on that psu though.. Cheers bud |

Newbuilder112 wrote Not sure on that psu though.. kitguru.net/components/power-supp...-review/6/ The Riotoro Enigma 850W G2 power supply excelled in all our tests. Not a surprise considering it is basically a rebadged Seasonic Focus Plus Gold (FX) supply which we reviewed back in August this year. There is no question that it delivers high grade power for a demanding enthusiast system. |
