07/20/2020 $2,000 White and RGB Build List

Did someone ask for White and RGB puke? I went all out today and we are over budget by about $200. You could get back down to $2,000 with the Alternate Case and Fans instead of the ones in the main list.


CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT 3.8 GHz 12-Core ($498.00 @ Amazon*)

Motherboard: Asus TUF X570-PLUS ATX ($179.96 @ Amazon*)

Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB DDR4-3600 CL18 ($177.99 @ Amazon*)

Storage: Patriot VPN100 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME SSD ($149.99 @ Amazon*)

Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 7200RPM HDD ($58.04 @ Amazon*)

Video Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER XC GAMING ($729.00 @ Amazon*)

Case: Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 Mesh White ATX Mid Tower ($99.99 @ Amazon*)

Power Supply: Antec 850 W 80+ Gold Fully Modular ($149.44 @ Amazon*)

Case Fan: Cooler Master MasterFan MF120R ARGB 59 CFM 120 mm Fan ($21.99 @ Amazon*)

Case Fan: Cooler Master MF120R ARGB 59 CFM 120 mm Fans 3-Pack ($64.98 @ Amazon*)


Optional: EDUP WiFi and Bluetooth Adapter PCI-E ($29.99 @ Amazon*)

Alternate Case: NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.98 @ Amazon*)

Alternate Case Fan: Fractal Design FD-FAN-SSLL-140-WT 47.1 CFM 140 mm Fan ($13.00 @ Amazon*) (Also grab this)


Total: $2200.43**

Alternate Total: $2,075.35**


Write up:


CPU: I went with the 3900XT because it is a 12 core 24 thread beast of a chip for under $500


Motherboard: I went with the Asus because of the price and features. Not to mention the X570 is the most feature rich AM4 Chipset.


Memory: A fox list wouldn’t be complete without at least 16GB of memory and the Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB Doubles that and rips along at 3600mhz ensuring the CPU isn’t RAM bottlenecked While giving great RGB


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: The Cooler Master Case is a beautiful and elegant case which is also great for new builders and veterans alike with its easy cable management. It comes with 3 rgb intake fans and I included 4 more fans for all the RGB possible.


Alternate Case: Most of you know by now that I love the NZXT H510. I love putting 2 140mm fans in the front and having a nice positive pressure case that will help to keep the dust out. Yes there has been testing that shows that the stock cooling set up with negative pressure using only the 2 stock 120mm fans as exhausts runs cool and that adding 2 140mm fans from the front doesn’t add much in the way of cooling. But, I see it as worth the extra $20 as keeping dust out of the case keeps things cool longer and with less cleaning and more gaming.


Power Supply: When I saw the price for this fully modular PSU I couldn’t not put it on the list.


Case Fans:Pair these fans with the case on 1 controller for optimal RGB Bliss


Alternate Case Fans: Straight up I chose these because they are White and black to match the case. Well reviewed, these fans should serve you well


Conclusion: This is a solid Gaming PC that will run most titles on Ultra settings With an insane amount of RGB.
