Write Up:
CPU:
The R9 3950x offers a 16-core 32-thread overclockable performance that will breeze through almost any workload with ease.
CPU Cooler:
This all-in-one for ASUS will add great looks to any build, let alone when you’re going for a white build. wITH THE 360MM Rad, it will keep up with even the top of the line CPUs
Motherboard:
This white and black 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 64GB DDR4-3200 kit from Corsair will ensure the CPU is speeding right through all the Chrome Tabs you can throw at it while also adding a nice bit of RGB to the case. Yes, this is 3200 and not 6400. If you look up the cost of this RAM at 3600, you will see why we went with 3200. Still more than fast enough.
Storage (SSD):
This 1TB NVME SSD drive from HP has 1024MB 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 2080ti from Asus is a reliable top-tier video card that will breeze through most games on max settings. The RTX 2080ti 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 NZXT is a nice white and black ATX case with great looks and airflow.
Power Supply:
This PSU from EVGA is a dependable 1000W fully-modular 80+ Platinum rated power supply. It has enough power for today and upgrades tomorrow.
Case Fans. I picked a total of 6 SP120mm fans for this build. With the fans, I wanted to make it to where they were all the same. The 3-pack comes with an RGB controller and then the 3 individual adds to the 3 pack and will work off the RGB controller for the 3 pack. These fans completely replace the fans on the AIO
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:
24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
