This is a request for comment and opinions. Mostly, this is for fun, so don't get too wrapped up.
Uses: FPS games, Flight sim and Lightroom.
My first new rig since 2013, this is the plan:
Ryzen 5800x w Noctua U14S
Asus TUF x570-Pro
Asus TUF 3070 or 3080 OC
Trident Z DDR4-3600 CL16 4x8
970 EVO Plus 2tb and 4x 860 EVO 1TB
Fractal Meshify 2 w 5x Noctua NFA14
Reusing a 2012 version of the Corsair HX850
BenQ EW3280U
Notes:
I wanted a 5600x, but the 5800x was available.
I chose the pro version of the mobo for the extra usb-c header for the case front panel.
Everything is in shipping or on my desk except the 3070/3080 card, so I will keep my GTX970 FTW in service with the hope 3000 series stocks will become available in Jan/Feb. I'm not hung up on these cards, I would happily get one from another company.
Since RGB is fashionable, and the case will be readily seen, I will add a bunch of pointless RGB hypnotic eye puke. I'm learning the ins and outs this week, let me know if you have a suggestions.
Any setup tips I should watch out for or articles I should read?
