Just thought I would share my adventures with my first time PC build, which is still a working progress...
Spec
Case: - Jonsbo UMX4
PSU: - EVGA 650w G2
CPU: - Ryzen 7 1700
Cooler: - Stock Wraith Spire
MB: - Asus x370 Crosshair 6
Ram: - 16Gb Corsair Vengence LPX 3000Mhz
Storage: - Crucial Mx300 750Gb SSD / 2 x Seagate 500 Gb (ripped from 2 x Sky HD box)
GPU: - 1080Ti
I wish..... borrowed this 620 until I decide
Monitor / mouse / keyboard all borrowed from work!
So after sitting on the Case, PSU, SSD since October last year waiting for CES, then Kaby Lake then Ryzen etc.... I couldn't wait any longer and popped to Overclockers UK at the weekend and bought the 1700 for £300 CH6 £250 and the Ram for £130 and threw this little number together....
I have to say the whole experience of build was a roller-coaster of emotions.. from putting the components together with the precision of a brain surgeon, to the whole trepidation of pushing the on button for the first time....jesus that was nerve jangeling
I've also done a bit of tickling with the over clock and after several failed attempts I've currently got 3.6Ghz on all cores and the Ram running at 2666mhz
Temp are 32 idle and got to 52 during Cinebench
Cinebench - stock was 1100 / OC its now 1569
Next purchase's are GPU (vega?) Monitor Keyboard
Thanks for all the advice given over the last few months
