Hey lads,
i've been thinking about downsizing from my Define R5 and would like some advice from you. It more or less started with me needing a new PSU, since mine is from 2015 and doesn't have enough EPS connectors for Ryzen (i'm runing with only a 4pin).
I've decided to go with the mainstream available cases and parts that i can get my hands on without issues and waiting time. I'll be keeping crucial parts such as my GPU, SSDs and maybe CPU and RAM.
Hardware i'll keep:
Strix 2080ti OC
One 3.0 M.2 SSD and one Sata SSD
Hardware i might upgrade at the same time:
3900X to 5900X
2x8GB 3200MHz LPX kit to whatever the best 3600MHz kit is
I got two potential builds lined up:
NR200
Strix B550-I
SF750
Fuma 2
Thoughfan 12 PWM 4x
TU150
Strix B550-I
SF750
NH-D15 (i've got this in my rig rn)
Thoughfan 12 PWM 4x
If you could give me some inputs of cons and pros of boths builds, that would be nice. Price wise, it's the same really and it's just about the case and component fit. I plan to deshroud my 2080ti, that's why i got the extra fans. And the other 2 are meant for to go on the CPU cooler, for them extra °c gains.
IF i decide to swap to a 5900X, i'd like fitting ram aswell. So, my pick for now would be the BL2K8G36C16U4B 2x8GB 3600Mhz dual rank kit from Crucial. < i heard mixed stories about some people getting single rank, so give me some suggestions on other RAM abtions aswell.
