Write Up:
CPU:
The 3600 offers 6-core 12-thread Performance that will breeze through most workloads with ease.
Motherboard:
This board from Asus is a premium X570 board with almost every feature you could want except maybe WIFI and Bluetooth 5.0, but we address that in the optional WIFI card.
Memory:
This 16GB DDR4-3600 kit from G.Skill is the sweet spot for Ryzen CPUs to ensure the CPU is speeding right through all the Chrome Tabs you can throw at it (within reason lol)
Storage (SSD):
This 256GB NVME SSD drive from HP has 256MB of cache (DRAM). This is the drive to install your system to ensure the pc is speeding along for years to come.
Storage (HDD):
The Seagate Barracuda 2TB is a mainstay on my lists. This is the drive to put everything you don’t want clogging up your NVME. Games, songs, stream sources…. Any files that aren’t as demanding. HDDs get a lot of flak—a lot of builders switching to a single 1TB NVME. But the price to performance and storage of the Barracuda HDD is unbeatable. HDDs are great at one program at a time. If all you’re doing is loading a game, just playing a song, only loading a stream source… HDDs are fantastic for single tasks.
Video Card:
This 2060 from EVGA is a reliable mid-tier video card that will breeze through most games at medium to high settings. The RTX 2060 also has a Turing NVENC encoder that can take the stream encoding load off the GPU and the CPU for you aspiring streamers.
Case:
This case from Phanteks gives a beautiful black and sleek appearance with tasteful RGB on the front panel to your build. With its easy cable management and tempered glass side panel, even new builders can get a clean and professional-looking build. It includes one 120mm Exhaust, but you can grab three more for an intake. Grab a 1to4 fan splitter HERE if you do.
Power Supply:
EVGA has a dependable 500W semi-modular power supply here. It has enough power for today and upgrades tomorrow.
Optional WIFI Card:
This little card is fantastic. I have one in all of my personal builds. The Bluetooth connectivity is impressive. I have had uninterrupted connectivity throughout my house. So if I am working in the office and then go to the kitchen to grab a snack, my music is still playing through my headphones.
Bible Verse of the day:
14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord.
