Up coming New Build

[walrbe]

Hi Guys,

I'm about ready to drop some coin on a new build and I think I have narrowed down the parts list, here it is.

Motherboard	Asus Maximus XI Hero
CPU	Intel I7 9700K
Case	Lian Li PC011 Dynamic or Fractal Design Design R6 TG
Ram	G.Skill F4-3200C16D-16GTZR
SSD	Samsung 970 Evo 500Gb
CPU Cooler	Noctua U12 repurposed or NZXT Kraken X62 AIO
PSU	Cooler Master 520W repurposed

What do you think?

PSU is a little bit on the lowe side.

I would go for at least a 750W

Missing in your list is your video card.

Ye olde proverb

Yes makes sense. The recommended psu on pc builder wasn't highlight ing anything obvious.

As for the video I'm using on board graphics. This isn't a gaming rig. But I do have a spare card I can add in anyway.

I suspected you wern't using an add on GPU and can probably get by with what you have as long as it is a top end model but as stated above a good 750 watt will assure stability.
A weak power supply can cause issues that are difficult to pin point leading to hours of frustration

Cursory search shows the "NZXT Kraken X63 AIO" doesn't exist so I'd assume it's a typo? 750w gold or bigger/better is minimal for any new high quality build.

Thanks Heini, fixed. I need to stop looking at reviews now I like the Deepcool Castle 280 AIO:p
