Write Up:
CPU:
The R7 3700x offers an 8-core 16-thread overclockable performance that will breeze through almost any workload with ease. It also comes with a Wraith Prism Cooler made by Cooler Master, which can add a nice amount of RGB or be turned off.
Motherboard:
This board from Gigabyte 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 DDR4-3200 kit from Crucial is a good match for Ryzen CPUs to ensure the CPU is speeding right through all the Chrome Tabs you can throw at it (within reason lol.) 3600 would be better, but, With the availability of RGB RAM today this was the best deal
Storage (SSD):
This 500GB NVME SSD drive from Patriot 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 addition of the 3 RGB fans in the front adds to the look and function.
Power Supply:
This PSU from Seasonic is a dependable 550W 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:
31 For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. 32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love.
