I went with an AIO water cooler for the CPU on my current build (8400k OCed to 4.8GHz) and I honestly think that was a waste of money. A good air solution would probably do a better job. It does look very nice and clean but that doesn't make it worth it at all.
I thought I would be able to hit 5Ghz with water AIO. The results were hilarious. |

I looked up completed builds and found this guys. He had 32 gb of ram so I changed it to 16 gb because I’m not sure if I need that much. Are the amount of fans overkill? |
I built my Ryzen fall of last year and unless something has changed I would stay away from MSI X570 motherboards. Everything I read and watched was nothing but terrible in regards to their performance in OCing, if that matters to you, and temperatures.
EDIT: https://youtu.be/rD65w5RVmtY I guess MSI is making changes after it was a unanimous stay the **** away review from launch. |
Ryzen 5 3600 would be plenty for photoshop and illustrator btw, but if you're cool with dropping $1500 here is one that will do far more than you need.
Head over to PCpartpicker and swap different components in and out until you get what you want. AMD Ryzen 7 3700X $325 ASRock X570 Pro4 $130 G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR4-3200 $65 Intel 660p 1TB NVMe SSD $98 MSI RTX 2080 Super Ventus OC $720 Fractal Design Meshify C $90 Corsair RMx 650 W 80+ Gold $95 Total $1523 Prices are probably outdated btw. edit: For what it's worth, I am probably going to go with something similar to that $1500 build for nearly the same uses as you. |

I really like what Phanteks is doing.
https://www.newegg.com/black-phantek...82E16811854086 One of the few cases that you can still find with a mesh front panel that doesnt look like your typical box but also isn't overly "gaming." There's a cheaper version that's slightly smaller called the P300A but its sold out everywhere. |

We’ve read up a bunch on VA, TN, IPS. Near as I can tell VA or IPS are both very good for gaming with IPS having better viewing angles not ghosting and VA having slightly better refresh rate and but slightly slower response times and subject to ghosting in some circumstances. In the end it seems either will work and for me it’s not a definition factor. |

I like this one better. The black/red. Customizable light scheme that looks cool, and not too flashy: https://www.newegg.com/black-phantek...82E16811854046 |

After I built my old GTX 1070 tower, I realized it was silly to not have something better than my old ass 24" Samsung 60hz 1080p panel. My GTX 1070 was maxing the games on Ultra settings with ease. I needed something better to do it justice. So I originally bought a 27" 1440p (2K) Dell TN panel with GSync and it was within my "new monitor" budget. When I hooked it up, though, I just felt like I wasn't quite happy and everything seemed a little too yellow no matter how much I ****ed with the RGB and temperature/hue settings. I was going to replace that monitor with an identical model hoping things would be better. After some thought, I just decided to say "**** it" and splurge on something much better (at the time, it was basically like the best monitor you could get under $1000). It was much more expensive than the Dell and as soon as I bought, feelings of buyer's remorse started to creep in. As soon as I hooked it up, I got the biggest shit-eating grin of all time and realized I made the right decision. Been happy as **** with it ever since. It's now been through 2 computer builds and I have zero interest in upgrading. |

Get a full tower if you can. It's SO MUCH nicer. |

Only problem I have with it is that I still want my optical drive so I'm using the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M. |
