PC Build

I hate everything is so PC these days.

Do you really need a 1 TB SSD? I mean they are expensive as fuck and you could get a HDD with several more TB for a tenth of the price.

Could wait till i5-8600k comes?
If you only game perhaps Intel is better option than Ryzen.
Would still check if Ryzen 7 is what you want.

Says nothing overkill, adds a 1TB SSD, expects 144hz AAA gaming... I think we need to have a talk about the word overkill lol.

On a more serious note, you need to scrap the CPU and MB, go 8th gen, thought that was obvious at this point.

And for the love of humanity ditch that huge and expensive SSD and get a HDD for mass storage.

I hope the prices on pcpartpicker are not the ones you want to pay. ridiculously high.

I don't know what is happening in New Zealand, these prices are insane.
Newegg doesn't deliver there?
Amazon doesn't have better prices?

I bought similar stuff minus the ssd less than a week ago for around 600 usd.
1700x ryzen 300
350b mobo 100
ddr4 3k 16gb 150
212 hyper turbo (the one with two fans) 20
And I wouldn't have paid a penny more.

Personally i always look for what i need a PC. Is it gaming, office stuff, graphic design and or programming.... So here is my question: What do you need your PC for? Is is mainly gaming? If it is I would advise you, and this is my opinion, that you would be better off not going for the 512 dollar SSD but just replace it with any 7200 rpm regular one. That way you can free up your budget a bit more and go for another/better component(s).

I have a samsung SSD 500 gig where my windows some graphic design programs and a couple video editing programs are on. For office stuff I use my laptop. I also have about 20 TB at 7200 rpm that are in docking stations. Now a lot of games have bottlenecks when it comes to performances, which is where sloppy coding comes in ( intentional or not). If your equipment is not up to date it may also contribute to the problem but most of the time is is because of shitty coding ( most of these companies ship certain parts of the codes off to India, Pakistan or others and that means a lot of mistakes and crappy programming)
Also your DDR is way to expensive for what you got and you can find the same cheaper either directly from the manufacturer or from amazon itself ( newegg is also a good choice but i heard that people got some crappy components in the past). You can also get more "bang for your bucks" if you do some smart price watching and comparing what the DDR actually does.

As for case it also depends just make sure it is wired properly and that it is easy to install your components. I have cut myself numerous times while installing pc components.

some info about SSD and HDD and the difference. Older games it will not matter, new games might see a slight difference. SSD's are great for graphic work, making your OS better/faster, streaming and video editing. Games not that much ( if you want the best of the best go for consoles. You want pc games that run beautiful go with Xbox). Ps 4 is also good but the fact that Xbox will play games in 4k....
Anyway that is my opinion. Cheers and good luck with constructing your new pc!

Drop the 1tb ssd for a 2tb HDD and get intel 8th gen or ryzen 7.

Just saying you can get 2x 8TB seagate ironwolf internal hard drives for the same price as 1TB ssd... Just saying 16 TB versus 1TB just saying. https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-IronWolf-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST8000VN0022/dp/B01M1BUBSO/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1510577001&sr=1-11&keywords=internal+hard+drive

I would suggest getting a better CPU, my recommendation Intel Core i7-7700k / Intel Core i5-8600K (this is newest gen, more powerful and cheaper). As your current CPU isn't powerful enough to fully optimize your GPU. For CPU and GPU they come hand in hand, having them equally powerful is the best option, never go higher / lower budget on either one.

Storage wise you don't really need 2 SSD, 1TB SSD is purely enough if you are using it to strictly game (you need to have good game storage management, like uninstalling your unwanted games etc but its still more then enough) and not using it for practical use. If you are using for both practical use and gaming, ?TB(depends on your needs) HHD for your normal applications, files, etc. and maybe a 250GB / 500GB / 1TB(only if you want to download lots of games) SSD for your OS (for a way faster boot up rate) and game storage.

For RAM, G.Skill Trident Z instead of Ripjaw V series would be a much better choice, better overall performance and cheaper (at least from where i am). But its not too much of a difference.

Get a decent monitor that at least have a refresh rate of 144Hz and 1080p for your 1080p gaming with 144 fps.

The rest is not much of an issue, but make sure your power source is around 650W - 750W, safe spot for this build

Just what i can help with. Overall its a decent build.

yeah, AAA games on 1080p at 144hz sounds good..
then you realize most "AAA" games are locked to 60fps lol

I'd never chose a 4 core nowadays. At least a Ryzen 1600 or Intel equivalent is a must.

I definitely wouldn't get a 7600K atp unless you can find a crazy good deal on one. The 8600K should cost about the same price but have an additional 50% performance boost in multi-threaded tasks due to the extra cores.

opt a ryzen : https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/tcmztJ [cheaper oc ready]
opt b intel : https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/list/RksptJ [expensive oc way higher after delid]
intel is about 20ish % faster in games and every day work , where Ryzen is awesome if you want to work on video and streaming but intel isnt that far any way

People already gave you Ryzen and HDD alternatives, the only alternative I might suggest you to look at is a Cryorig H7 or perhaps a Raijintek cooler? They have better performance than the 212 and (should) have similar costs.

7600k CPU is ok, but youll get a better return for your money with Ryzen or Intel 8000, if you can consider any alternatives on those it will be worth it.
