Write up:
CPU: I went with the 3900x because it is a 12 core 24 thread beast of a chip for under $400
Motherboard: I went with the MSI because of the price and features. Not to mention the X570 is the most feature rich AM4 Chipset. Also, It looks sick with the red on black
Memory: A fox list wouldn’t be complete without at least 16GB of memory and the G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB Doubles that and rips along at 3600mhz ensuring the CPU isn’t RAM bottlenecked.
Storage: As Always for this price point I am pairing a 1TB NVME with a 2TB HDD. Put your system and main games on the NVME and put your files and games on the HDD and yes, the NVME had DRAM
Video Card: I went with the 2080 Super because it’s the second best gaming GPU on the market without going Titan.
Case: I love the NZXT H510. It is a beautiful and elegant case which is also great for new builders and veterans alike with its easy cable management. It comes with 2 exhaust fans and I included 2 140mm intake fans for you to put in the front of the case. And yes, Red on Black
Power Supply: When I saw the price for this fully modular PSU I couldn’t not put it on the list.
Case Fans: I love be quiet! fans. Make sure to grab 2 for the front of your case along with the fan splitter. When you instal the Fans make sure the arrow in the fan points toward your motherboard.
Conclusion: This is a solid Gaming PC that will run most titles on Ultra settings.
