Hello everyone! I'm looking for suggestions for my actual build. After a long time, I finally gathered all I needed to improve my rig. here's what it looks like:
Now I'm focusing on the peripherals, got to buy a decent keyboard and mouse, and I'm planning to remove the Seidon 120v cooling my i7 and replacing it with a noctua nh d15. Is there anything else? Should I evaluate changing something else?
A few more notes (sorry, i was in a rush): CPU, Motherboard and RAMs were bought earlier (almost 2 years ago). If I built it in recent times, I'd evaluate a Ryzen or an i7 6xxx or even 7xxx series. GPU was bought in recent times. RAM has been tweaked to 1866mhz and cl8 without increasing voltage (1.35v), ran memtest for a couple of days and it found no error whatsoever, so I guess they're stable? this is also something i need advice on. PSU has a strange label (it's a Sharkoon, something i've never heard of) but I tested every single rail before mounting it on my computer and also tested it under load with the main voltages (3.3, 5 and 12) and they were in perfect range (I saw a couple of guides on the net about variation, can't recall correctly, I hope you understand what I mean). About the audio card... it's something i bought 6 years ago because my former motherboard had its onboard audio device burnt. Beats me how it happened. Bought this audio card for a real cheap price through Amazon and I think it doesn't make much of a difference, but as long as it makes my sound working, that's good for me. Hope this explanation helps!
