Write Up:
CPU:
The 3700x offers an 8-core 16-thread overclockable performance that will breeze through almost any workload 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 500GB NVME SSD drive from Samsung has 512MB of cache (DRAM). This is the drive to install your system and your main games and programs 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 2070 Super from EVGA is a reliable high-tier video card that will breeze through most games at high to ultra settings. The RTX 2070 Super 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 Corsair offers excellent cable management and airflow. The case includes one intake and one exhaust fan, but you could add two more 120mm intake fans.
Power Supply:
This PSU from EVGA is a dependable 750W fully-modular 80+ gold rated power supply. 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:
4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
