Hey all, I just built a new gaming computer yesterday. Really nice for me since I haven't had a proper gaming rig since 2016 (been surviving on consoles). The last time I built one for myself was 2012, I thought it was time to do it again.
After waiting 2 full weeks for Amazon to get me my CPU due to COVID-19...
Here's what I got.
MB: ASUS TUF Gaming X570 motherboard
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3600X 6-core (cooled by Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo)
GPU: EVGA RTX 2060 Super 6GB GDDR6
RAM: 16GB G. Skill Ripjaws 3600
SSD: Samsung 860 evo 1TB SATA III
PSU: Corsair 650w 80 plus gold modular
Case: Cooler Master MB511 RGB mesh
Display: Dell 27" 1440p 144hz (g sync compatible) TN panel
Audio: 3.1 logitech
Mouse and Keyboard: ASUS cerberus
I'm a little upset about the CPU cooler. I've used it in several builds for friends and family and the design has changed. It's now super hard to mount and doesn't mount securely anymore (you can literally easily twist it even after tightening it down all the way)
Anyway. I'll probably change out the cooler at some point but the build definitely gives me some room to grow for years.
Probably going to break it in with some Mass Effect (I realize the game won't even come close to fulfilling the potential of this system, lol)
