Hey everyone, just wanted to share my new PC build! Here are the specs:

* **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 2700 (3.2 GHz, 8 cores)
* **Motherboard:** Asus ROG Strix B450-I Gaming Mini ITX
* **Memory:** Crucial Ballistix 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4-2666 CL16
* **Storage:** HP EX920 1TB M.2-2280 NVMe SSD
* **Graphics Card:** EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB
* **Case:** Cooler Master MasterBox NR400 (with optical drive)
* **Power Supply:** EVGA BQ 850W 80+ Bronze Certified
* **Optical Drive:** Pioneer BDR-2209 Blu-ray/DVD/CD Writer
* **Monitor:** Acer VG271 Pbmiipx 27" 1920x1080 at 144Hz
* **Keyboard:** Logitech K800 Wireless Slim Keyboard
* **Mouse:** Logitech MX Master 2S (Black) Wireless Laser Mouse

The total cost was around $1656.90. I’m expecting to hit over 100 FPS in Diablo 3, but I'm only getting about 70-80 right now. I’m wondering if my monitor’s refresh rate might be a factor – it seems like the GPU should handle more than this. I’ve adjusted all the settings in D3, even on the lower options, and still haven’t been able to get past 70-80 FPS. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I had some trouble with voltage regulation and ripple – it performed significantly worse than a Corsair CXm, and honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. You might actually be paying more for it than you need to; a simpler, more basic PSU would probably cost about the same and do just as well. Don’t get too hung up on wattage alone. I personally wouldn’t use this one with a powerful graphics card. However, it’s perfectly fine for a standard office computer.

Using a DDR 2666 memory kit with a Ryzen processor feels like we're not fully utilizing its potential. The most affordable power supply I’ve come across, especially when combined with a 2070 Super, would be something to upgrade as soon as possible.

Please explain why you would replace the PSU? The wattage is more than enough for the GPU.

You might be surprised to find that a more basic Corsair unit is often priced similarly, and would probably be a better choice. Don’t just focus on wattage; I personally wouldn't use this power supply with a high-end graphics card. However, it seems perfectly fine for a standard office computer.

Just wanted to say thanks for the explanation. Do you have any ideas about what might be causing my frame rate drops?

Let’s take a look at your computer’s processor and graphics card speeds – are they reaching their full potential? If not, there might be an issue, like the ripple I mentioned, which could be causing inconsistent power delivery to your CPU, GPU, or both. And don't forget about RAM speed; it’s really important for Ryzen systems because of how the memory and processor communicate through the infinity fabric. Ideally, you want that speed up to 3733MHz – anything lower, like 2666MHz, will noticeably reduce performance.
