There's some coolers that are around $35 or $25 in the case of the Hyper 212 but the large step-up in performance from a $30 cooler to a $40ish cooler is so large that it isn't worth considering a $30 120mm fan cooler with 4x heatpipes.Īlso unless you need to build now, I think you're better of waiting for a Ryzen 3rd gen CPU since the single threaded performance is going to be on par with i9-9900k. Oddly enough it is sold by Scythe USA on Newegg so maybe they share a supplier. If you're willing to go with a smaller brand, there's also the Reeven Justice. The Fractal Design Define R6 has plenty of room for all CPU coolers. Obviously, go with whatever is cheaper as Intel builds cannot make use of faster & tighter timing on RAM as much as Ryzen can.įor cooler, you can get stronger coolers for the ~$40 price, such as Thermalright's 5 x 6mm heatpipe True Spirit 140 or the Scythe Mugen Max or Mugen 5 with 6圆mm heatpipes and 120mm fan form factor. I would look into GSkill Ripjaws or GSkill TridentZ as they tend to be cheaper than Corsair RAM yet have a higher chance of being B-die (especially for 3600+MHz and 3200C14). The only main advantage the Phantom Gaming 6 has is the debug code LED, versus a status LED that indicates CPU/VGA/RAM.įor RAM, Corsair Vengeance is very rarely Samsung B-die.

Well IMO you're better off with a GTX 1070 Ti.įor motherboard, the Gigabyte Aorus Pro (or Ultra with debug LED and more PCB layers) is a stronger board than Z390 Phantom Gaming 6. I've been seeing good things about the H7 which is half the price. I originally was going to get a Noctua D-15s but figured that might be overkill (I love Noctua). I'm the least confident about the motherboard, there isn't a lot out there right now on the z390 boards. I was hoping to squeeze in a 2070 but I'm already over budget with the 2060. The original budget he gave me was $1,200 but I'll be persuasive. Total should be around $1,300 with the GPU. GPU: RTX 2060 (Model TBD once they are released) RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 3200

Motherboard: ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming 6

He would be gaming at 1080P and will use this computer for a long time (note he's still gaming on a 560Ti.).

I figure a RTX 2060 will make a lot of sense for him. He's currently playing Final Fantasy XV and it's so jumpy on his old 560TI I'm offended. He's doesn't play any intense games but I want to get him something that will last awhile. I'm putting together a new computer for a friend of mine.
