Besides going up to a ti I think that's firmly in the high and range of gaming rigs. You going to use the stock CPU heat sink and fan?

More juice on the PSU would be my initial thought. Recommended is around 650W and I prefer to have overhead too.
While not “luxury” high end, I would call that a solid build. Last edited by OrbitalEllipses; 05-27-2020 at 11:10 AM. |

I already have the super, I was running it on my razer in a core. Yeah, the stock fan is fine. If I was going to go hard core I'd water cool. I'm not really interested in overclocking. Stability is more important to me these days, I'm old.

Hopefully the 500 will be enough as it's sitting on my kitchen table. These 7nm parts draw a lot less current and I'm not overclocking it so I figured good enough.

On the bright side I have the cabling nailed what with it all being m.2.

I ran a top tier seasonic 500w with an FX9590/Gtx 1080 combo. It only crashed a couple of times in the 2 years I ran it. My nephew runs a cheap 650w corsair psu that crashes every now and then. I think you can manage as long as you don't oc and you have a high tier psu.

Yeah I think 2080S and 3900X bumps you up a little from mid range .

I figured high end was threadrippers and water cooled SLI setups. I wasn't playing in that league. I bought the stuff that was just below the derp barrier. The 3rd gen Ryzen 9 was 419.00 anything beyond that was derp money. I went with the DDR4 3600 because the 4400 was over twice as expensive and the difference in performance really isn't that great. I bought an RTX 2080 Super black because it was like 200.00 cheaper than the RGB ones. The motherboard was more than I wanted to spend, but it was the cheapest thing I could find that was both not back ordered and supported PCI 4.0 and supported 2 m.2 drives. Everything else was like 600.00 with that support. Also, who the **** pays 600.00 for a motherboard!??!! |

I'm going to come up on this challenge soon because I'm building a mini itx. Not many good psus in this form factor. |

I run a Corsair RMx about 100w more than recommended. |

I didn't think there was much overhead for OC, water or not, on the higher up Ryzen chips. If I was building something like that, id probably go with an upsized cooler like the noctua mostly for a quieter machine when its working hard, but it should get you a little more margin on the cooling, too. Nice thing about that is that it's easy to do later if the oem fan is too noisy or if you find that you want more cooling power. My last build was a little obnoxious with the fan noise.

ended up finding a Corsair CM series at my local BB for $105 versus the $250 plus s/h that i was running across online. not perfect but should suffice. |

I think a lot of people are upgrading these days. I had a hard time finding some components and shipping times were long.

Ahh. Yes availability in actual available stock, I can see that may be an issue. I was referring to models that have been available to purchase in the SFX format which has grown a lot in the last 5 years.

Since PSUs are the hot subject right now. Have there been any major advances over the past 10 years or so that would render an older PSU not worth using in a new build? I've got a PC Power & Cooling 610W with something like a 50A 12V single rail that I'm hoping is still relevant since it was barely used when I replaced it with the 750W version(around 2010.)

Speaking from decades of building my own computers, save yourself a lot of grief. Get a fresh PSU. They eventually fail in ways that make your computer seem unreliable. On the bright side, the new units can be more power efficient and if you like playing dress up, you can fill them up with fancy modular cables. |

I haven't built a PC in 6 years or so but I'm getting the itch and don't really want to research the new tech until I've decided to actually build. |

You could get a few years out of it, but make sure it has enough of the 8-pin PCIe for the video card + motherboard that you go with.

Single 12v rail or maybe 2. Some of the old PSUs used a ton of rails as a marketing gimmick.
BUY A NEW POWER SUPPLY! It's $100, I can't tell you how many weird annoying issues I've encountered that were all psu related. |

Seriously you guys. It’s a small cost compared to the $700 graphics card and silly RGB lighted bull****. And new ones ARE more efficient and less expensive for that efficiency than they were 10 years ago. |
