07/22/2020 $1,500 Black Stealth

Not really any changes for Today’s list from Tuesdays’s Just a change to the case for what was in stock. Nice solid R7 3700X/2070 Super Build. This is very similar to my personal gaming build and it rips through anything I throw at it.


CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor ($279.99 @ Amazon*) 

Motherboard: ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 ATX AM4 Motherboard ($218.00 @ Amazon*)

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory ($65.98 @ Amazon*)

Storage: Patriot VPN100 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME SSD ($79.98 @ Amazon*) 

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM HDD ($58.04 @ Amazon*) 

Video Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB XC ULTRA GAMING Video Card ($585.98 @ Amazon*) 

Case: Phanteks Eclipse P300A Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case ($59.99 @ Amazon*)

Power Supply: SeaSonic 550 W 80+ Gold Fully Modular ATX ($116.49 @ Amazon*) 

Case Fan: (2) be quiet! Pure Wings 2 140 61.2 CFM 140 mm Fan ($21.23 @ Amazon*) 

Custom: PWM Fan Splitter, 1 to 4 Converter 10 inches (2 Pack) ($9.99 @ Amazon*) 


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


Total: 

$1526.85**


Write up:


CPU: 

I went with the 3700x because it is a 8 core 16 thread beast of a chip for under $300


Motherboard:

I went with the ASRock 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 G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB rips along at 3600mhz ensuring the CPU isn’t RAM bottlenecked


Storage: 

As Always for this price point I am pairing a 512 NVME with a 2TB HDD. Put your system and programs on the NVME and put your files and games on the HDD and yes, the NVME had DRAM


Video Card:

I went with the 2070 Super because it is a Power House under $700 that performs better than last generation’s 1080ti.


Case: 

This case checks all the boxes. PSU shroud, Tempered glass, Cable management,.....


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 and when you install them make sure the arrow in the fan points toward your motherboard. 


Conclusion: 

This is a solid Gaming PC that will run most titles on High to Ultra settings.
