Hi bro, thanks for your fast reply.

Yea he have high budget but don't know much about overclocking.

I couldn't pluck and paste the specs from other threads as im afraid those specs wouldn't meet his requirement to run game in ultra settings.

hopefully u can help~

He better learn overclocking. Lol. I'd incline to getting Ryzen 7 1700 for multiple clients of game running at once, but not sure how well will that fare in high refresh qhd monitor. I hope other bro here who is more familiar with high refresh gaming to chip in their thoughts. It's more appropriate this way as this is out of my league coz I'm a 60hz monitor user haha

I'm actually very curious about this "Posting on behalf of a friend"

hehe..its indeed for a friend of mine..i came here to look for recommendation in the past be it for myself or for friend. Because of the stability of the build recommended, i rely on this forum for the specs :D

I'm actually curious what's the pact between you and your friend that you help him enquire for a build rather than he do it himself. Many people does this also. Lol

Anyway,good luck :o

coz it is cumbersome for someone to create an account and keep coming in to check replies? and a friend happens to surf hwz often and so might as well ask him to post lor.

But the sad part is, info is always incomplete/not detailed enough.

Maybe want to consider tempered glass for the looks?

For that price unless your friend requires exteremely fast transfer speeds, can consider to get a 850gb evo and use the savings to get a HGST 4tb around 200

heartfelt thanks for your time.

may i know why do u recommend 1700 instead of 1800x? has it got to do with oc/ non-oc?

the cpu cooler u recommended looks awesome..

he already bought the monitor days ago..

thanks again! :s12:

You can achieve 1800X base speed with some overclocking. 1800X supposed to be better binned but already numerous 1700 can overclock as good as the 1800X.

That cooler can only be compatible with low profile ram like the vengeance lpx. Hence I chose that ram as well, other than being cheaper than trident Z
