PC component review

Hi All,

(pardon the English),
I have a component list below for mid level gaming
https://www.megekko.nl/wl/6AXZBTYN

As this is my first gaming build, I'd like to hear your comments on its compatibility, experience with one or more components, or anything you may have to say about it.

Thanks a lot in advance.
 
I will try to respond in my best English:

First off: Awesome cooler, the Thermalright Peerless Assassin is unequaled in air cooling.
But it's gonna take up a lot of space in your mini-ITX case. It wil fit, but it will definetely be the center of attention when you look through the window.
You don't need to add the thermal paste, because it's included with the cooler.

Speaking of the size of the case, it will only allow a PSU of maximum 14cm. The ATX PSU you chose is already too big. So I recommend to look for an SFX size PSU as the case is probably designed for that. An ATX with a maximum of 14cm is also possible, but the information about measurements is sometimes difficult to find.
The PSU is also a bit low on the tier list.
Check out this Corsair that scores higher and will fit your build better: Corsair SFX 750W

Your motherboard is a good choice as it supports PCIe 5, which your GPU uses.
But the memory stands out with the low clock timings of 36ms. And I'm not sure if they will fit under the Peerless Assassin. Check out these G.Skills.

About the M.2 drive. I would pick the Lexar NM790 with much better performance in reading and writing for a lower cost.


For the rest I wish you good luck with the build. Building an mini-ITX build is a challenge in its own. It will involve a lot of planning and replanning, routing and rerouting, you'll wish you never started and wanna quit and then pick it up again and start over (my own opinion).

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback first of all. I am now thinking of using 16 GB RAM instead of 32 GB. I could not find 16 GB G.Skills with similar clock of 6 GHz. Any recommendation for that?
 
While these RAM sticks have a clock speed of 6000MHz, I personally wouldn't recommend them for 3 reasons:

- 32GB is the meta at the moment, and upgrading from 16GB to 32GB at a later point in time will eventually cost you more
- They are not listed on the Qualified Vender List from Asus: QVL
- The CL is 36 clock ticks, which effectively make them run slower

I would recommend, if within the budget, the 32GB G.Skill Trident Z
If you really decide to got with the 16GB, you'll have to chedk the QVL. And you'll find that there is not many options.

Now you could go for a set that is not on this list. There is no guarantee that it will fail to work. But there is also a chance that it won't.
But if you do, go for these Kingstons, they mostly never fail.
