week 5 - pc build + specs!

hello all! long time no see.

i decided to get it together and build a computer (for work and personal reasons). This parts list will be updated as my research continues! I might post bulletins later on about my theming/customisation plans as well.

here are my specs, if anyone's interested.

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor  ($699.00 @ Scorptec)
  • CPU Cooler: Deepcool AS500 70.81 CFM CPU Cooler  ($66.20 @ Device Deal)
  • Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING WIFI II ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($469.00 @ PCCaseGear)
  • Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory  ($299.90 @ Newegg Australia)
  • Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($89.00 @ MSY Technology)
  • Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive  ($289.00 @ BPC Technology)
  • Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact TG Dark Tint ATX Mid Tower Case  ($189.00 @ Umart)
  • Power Supply: Corsair RM (2019) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply  ($169.00 @ Device Deal)
  • Monitor: Asus TUF Gaming VG27AQ 27.0" 2560x1440 165 Hz Monitor  ($479.00 @ JW Computers)
  • Monitor: LG 27QN600-B 27.0" 2560x1440 75 Hz Monitor  ($345.00 @ Umart)
  • Total: $3094.10
    I'm still going back and forth with that power supply, so the components aren't all 100% fixed yet. I'm also not sure how many more M.2 slots that motherboard provides so I'll have to do some more research as I would definitely like more storage. As for the OS - I'll just use a stripped back version of Windows 10, and one that I can install WSL on. I already have a few netbooks with various flavors of linux installed on them already, and while i tried Pop!OS and themed it towards both Windows 7 and MacOS Mojave, I would rather just be able to run my programs without too much hassle.

    anyway, that's it for this week. :)
