I bought all the parts for this build with beginners knowledge but I researched a lot and waited for good prices.
Mainly I want to use my focusrite audio I/o to use with REAPER but maybe even pro tools, want to record easily.
I also want to be able to use the 8K monitors, once I can afford one and to work with 8k audio/video but right now just recording - and learning to do so.
Gaming isn't really important but I intend to look into some games to see if I like gaming 1st person on my PC.
Case - Thermaltake View 71
MB - Gigabyte Z490 Vision D - $264.00
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce 1660 super - $229.00
RAM - G Skill Royal Z 32GBx2 - 2666 Mhz - $204.00 (went right up to 288$ days later)
Processor - Core i5 10500 - $230.00 (my worst mistake I think) - Darkflash Shadow PWM cooler - $19.99
M-2 Boot Drive 1TB NVMe gen 3x4 - $94.00
PSU - Thermaltake Toughpower grand 80+ 750w - $112
Fans - Thermaltake Quad 120mm - 3 for $149.00 (look great but way expensive) - Notos O120 6 fans at $15.00 each - look as good as the Quads
I think the biggest mistakes I made were the i5 and the 2666 MHz ram. maybe I should have went i7 or i9 and matched a higher speed RAM?
I want to be ready for the 8K monitors, which are fantastic! Also want to more regarding audio video work that would necessitate some upgrades.
I'm really green -BIOS is giving me a headache learning how to properly use it. I can operate the REAPER program and my Focusrite I/o at least.
I tried to buy the best parts I could at the times I bought each one, over a month and a half.
Did I do okay with my part selection for a total beginner, or what would you swap out?
