You're thinking carefully about your build. The Noctua NH-D15 and Corsair RAM may not fit together as expected. Check the dimensions and ensure they match your case and power supply specs before purchasing. It's always good to verify compatibility in detail.
Looking for a CPU and a budget range? Here’s the link to explore PC parts: [PC Parts Picker](link).
Tell me your budget and where you are. It seems building a Z390 system now isn't worth it, especially with the high cost of your power supply.
Consensus reached. Consider the z490 since newer models are preferable. 10 series CPUs provide higher speeds and more cores for a lower price. The power supply seems like an unnecessary extra cost.
I believe that link is correct. I was trying to save costs by not including much in the description and I chose the motherboard since it’s recommended for a top-tier micro ATX setup. This project is for gaming and experimenting with Blender and Unreal Engine. Also, I’m based in the UK and I’m unsure how to assemble a PC properly.
I've switched it to public now. I'm ready to adjust if needed. You're looking for a gaming setup suitable for Blender and Unreal Engine.
It makes sense to opt for an AMD CPU these days since it offers better performance for the price. Intel can be tempting, especially if you're starting out, but benchmark sites suggest AMD chips often provide better value. If you're into video editing, 32GB of RAM is unnecessary for most games and streaming, making it a costly expense. The graphics card would be more beneficial to invest in instead. Your power supply might also be too large; using a calculator will help you find the right wattage. For gaming, a Ryzen 5 2600 on Amazon is affordable at $139 with 16GB RAM and a budget GPU. I’m guessing your budget is limited, which is why I chose a more affordable processor. Regarding the clearance question, I wasn’t sure about that part, but I noticed some oddities in your build list. Cheers!
