Graphics Cards

[4nth0ny01]

Hey Guys,

I'm a first-time visitor here, and I'm creating my own gaming PC. As you can see, I've decided on all of the components that are necessary for me to build my gaming PC. I'm not a Professional Gamer or an Expert in PC Hardware and Technology, to be precise. I used the PC Builder website to make this component list, which is quite wonderful, as well as my numerous relatives who have suggested it to me. So, now I'm here for an open suggestion about Is this PC Build Rig Efficient or Reliable? Or is there any product that I should change?

That's all I'm interested in finding out...So, please let me know what you think about it.

Get a better psu because it will be good for the future

If you can get an amd gpu because they are better than Nvidia

6 & 7. you don't run different make/speed/timings memory.

Check on the asus website for a one make compatible memory kit for your cpu/mobo combo.

Besides what was mentioned by upgrading the PSU I would also make sure the RAM you purchase are all from the same manufacturer and in a set and listed on your Motherboard's QVL List for RAM for your processor or at the manufacturer's QVL list for your RAM and motherboard.

The PSU is probably one of your most important hardware in your PC. So going cheap on a PSU will cause you issues eventually later on.

I would upgrade to at least a 850 Watt Gold or higher metal rated PSU so it will be futured proofed when you upgrade the GPU or CPU later on.

Otherwise you have some high quality hardware for your build that you have listed. Looks like a top-notched PC once you get everything working as a unit.

That CPU is going to be overkill if a gaming PC is your goal. I would drop it down to a 5800X at most & try for a better GPU if you can manage to get one. This looks more like a workstation currently with a higher end CPU & a much lower end GPU.
