I've heard several takes on the list, both good and bad

spare coral
#

Budget?

#

Do you already have the parts?

#

And country?

silver cipher
#

no i don't have them already

spare coral
silver cipher
#

2500 for the pc parts

spare coral
#

Ok

#

What do you do with your pc?

silver cipher
#

2500 is the budget but not for the monitor thats why its set to 0

spare coral
#

Productivity? Gaming?

silver cipher
#

cybersecurity, gaming and probably gonna be rendering videos on it too

#

but nothing too too crazy

silver cipher
spare coral
#

Do you need aesthetics?

silver cipher
#

i don't care about aesthetics whatsoever

spare coral
#

Lemme change some things

silver cipher
#

i don't want to change the list too too much, but i do want to get the best parts for the budget

#

i was only thinking about changing the cooling

#

to a galahad trinity

spare coral
#

You absolutely need the 1000e PSU?

#

Actually tbh

#

It's worth it

silver cipher
#

well my whole reason is for upgradeability

spare coral
#

Ye

#

Good idea

silver cipher
#

i don't wanna have to buy another psu later

#

i usually like to ask for reasons for component switches

#

so i guess you'll let me know why you chose certain things over others

spare coral
#

I switched the ram

#

Cl30 6000 is better than cl34 6000

#

You don't need a 1tb boot drive which you had originally

#

500gb + 2tb drive with dram cache is optimal

#

Especially for productivity

#

And uhh, this is a better aio

#

Will keep that 7950x3d chilly

silver cipher
spare coral
#

hang on

#

here this is a better case

silver cipher
#

cause i spoke to someone who said the i9 14900K is uncoolable

spare coral
#

arctic freezer

spare coral
#

you can cool a i9-14900k

#

but you need a very good motherboard

#

good quality thermal paste

#

very good aio/water cooling loop

#

and a good case

wispy schooner
#

Deepcool ls720 is the one I’m getting currently

silver cipher
#

they told me that the case i had was the best one i could possibly get for a good budget price

#

v_v

spare coral
#

It's a good aio

wispy schooner
#

I was told it’s pretty good for the price

#

It’s probably a bit overkill for my build but

spare coral
#

Montech air 903 max is better

#

You could spend a bit more

#

And get 400d

#

4000d*

wispy schooner
#

The phanteks g360 ?? Is that a good cas

spare coral
#

From Corsair

spare coral
#

Haven't seen it

wispy schooner
#

Phanteks eclipse g360

#

A

spare coral
#

I stick to montech, Corsair, deepcool or lian li for aesthetics

spare coral
wispy schooner
#

It was in my budget so

spare coral
#

But I prefer montech air 903 max

wispy schooner
#

Not sure what that is but the phanteks fit in my price pretty well

spare coral

#

I was tryna make a new post rn but it’s not working.. was wondering if somone could look through my list

silver cipher
#

yea for the parts the budget is pretty strict

#

i mean we can go above 2500

#

but we dont wanna go too much over

spare coral
#

To be fair

#

that aio looks fine

#

yea I'd replace the aio with the one you had

#

It's not an intel chip so its sufficient

#

Even a good air cooler would work

#

But aio is preferable as x3d are sensitive to high temps

wispy schooner
#

14700k 😭 how do u cool that

spare coral
#

aio

#

360mm

#

Good thermal paste

wispy schooner
#

Water cool block

spare coral
#

Unnecessary

wispy schooner
#

Prob overkill

spare coral
#

Ye

wispy schooner
#

lol why do people use it though

silver cipher
#

i mean i'm also getting arctic thermal paste

spare coral
#

I mean people have found ways to cool 7000 series threadrippers

silver cipher
#

i forgot the name

#

MX-6 i think

spare coral
#

running with ovrrclocks

wispy schooner
spare coral
wispy schooner
#

Ayy I finally could post a “post”

spare coral
#

lol

wispy schooner
#

So what cooler he getting

#

Ls720 or

#

The arctic?

silver cipher
#

tbh.. idek

#

optimizing the build is difficult

#

a lot of people have different opinions

spare coral
#

Get the one you had originally

#

The original aio

#

I mean

spare coral
#

It seems fine

wispy schooner
#

Fair I’m currently getting an overkill one as well but

#

Yk I care more about aesthetics

silver cipher
#

i couldn't care less about aesthetics

#

i just want the best performance for my money

#

productivity and gaming

#

rendering videos, cybersecurity

#

for cybersecurity i think its the gpu and ram that matters the most

#

i mean cpu matters too but

#

i think its mostly gpu and ram

#

but i could be wrong

#

Do the ssds have cache?

#

I always assumed when Partpicker didn't say cache they didn't have it 💀

cedar pivot
#

I think its too much for an qhd 170hz monitor
