Im looking at the building of another PC and given my self a $1500 to start it next year of course parts will be bought over time. My question is what do you think of this build here for gaming.

gorkie spring for the ryzen 7 1700, if you can manage. Also, a SSD.

shiftysatchmo Alright I modified the build slightly to get the 1700 and a SSD… I changed the GPU as well to lower the price.

gorkie if you’re playing at 1080 that card should be fine
shiftysatchmo Yea 1080 is what the TV im getting is.
Also you do not need that many fans, a 200mm plus a 140mm will do just fine

meffflenn especially with a liquid cooled cpu having it’s own fan taking up a slot

Katsuo says you should get an ASUS Mobo and nothing else is worth getting
shiftysatchmo Exactly Better spend that saved money on a better mainboard or just save the money

meffflenn The case is build to hold 2 200mm fans in the front… im trying to slightly recreate the setup I seen from Linus with out using Intel lol
gorkie just remember, more fans = more noise. Only use what you need, which won’t be a ton with the liquid cooler.

gorkie do you have a nuclear reactor? I guess not … so reasonable amount of chassis fan is about 2- 3 no more no less … I don’t have a clue why on every build you show us contains 5 or 10 fans (when maximum number of fan per chassis without AIO is 3 up to 4) …
Since the PC case is by design nothing else but a sealed container … And if you use one bigger fan for pulling air into the casing and two smaller for exhaust the air … or vice versa … you will find that you have constant volume of air in the housing and variable pressure and temperature of air in same sealed container (at least in theory) …
Isochoric process …
In short you will cool your components inside chassis by bringing fresh air of lower temperature … which will mix with hot air inside … or you will lower temp by mixing air of different temperatures (delta T 
xD) … so only way to lower the temperature inside is by increasing the flow; or volume per unit of time … so push-pull method … (how much will be the cooling efficiency depends on only one feature of the fan; and that is airflow in CFM (cubic feet per minute) … more fans = more turbulence or more air mixing within space … you want more fluidity less turbulence (or less mixing) … the more volume in the unit of time is moved through the sealed container greater efficiency of cooling is …

Linus is/was and always will be idiot … the rules of thermodynamics and fluid flow are much more important in cooling … than what Linus has to say … coz he does not care about rules of physics

mark2k77 counter point: fans have pretty lights.

gorkie more or less fine … except it will outshine the sun in RGB spectrum … i would consider maybe one of those
ROG STRIX X370-F GAMING
ROG CROSSHAIR VI EXTREME
and consider AMD Ryzen™ 5 1600 CPU since you are not PRO video / 3D modeling users who will use highly threaded apps like NewTech Lightwave or Alias Maya Wavefront, AutoCAD and so on … So since you need that PC mostly for gaming and surfing around Internet … even that is too much … Invest money in something else
