I'm new to building a pc so i want to know if my build have any problem. I am particularly worried about the wiring inside the case. I also want to know what is a good monitor to go with this. As i am mostly using this on games and light work. I plan to use this for foreseeable future with no plan to upgrare which is why I go with this.

I would at least stick a 500gb SSD in there, Samsung 860 EVO or a Crucial MX500 for your system drive. You can use the 1tb for storage of the games and such. Also, I like to watch this guy build computers his name his Carey Holzman. https://www.youtube.com/user/CareyHolzman/videos
I editted it good idea

What experience do you you have with evo 870 ssd and evo 860? Is it good for my build?

Anyway what is with the low rating and space invaders for the rtx 2070

I hear that they are great drives, but I went with Crucial. A little cheaper than Samsung. I don't know anything about the RTX 2070. I wish I could build a new machine, but I wouldn't be putting a 500.00 GPU in it. I'm cheap. The only game that I am currently playing is World of Warships and my AMD 7850 is on high for that game. My computer is old. And I like this cooler also, https://www.amazon.com/Mugen-Rev-CP...id=1548520621&sr=8-66&keywords=cpu+fan+cooler and it will fit that case that you picked out, I checked, too bad they don't make it for an AM3+ board, I buy it and clears the front ram ports better. The Hyper 212 Evo will need extra mounting hardware to use that cooler. You can also use the m2 or nvme SSD's, but it will cancel out 2 of the sata ports.

I'd consider using your M2 port for an SSD with NVMe interface. I've recently bought that same MB and use a SAMSUNG 970 NVMe EVO M.2 for OS and a SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series 2.5" 500GB SATA for storage. Here's the benches,

The M2's much faster. Love the MB BTW.

fyi, it's much faster because you bought a SSD using the NVME interface instead of the SATA interface, not because it's in the M.2 form factor.

No, M.2 just describes the form factor of the drive. It has nothing to do with how fast the drive can operate. You can have M.2 drives that operate under the SATA interface.

Example: Samsung sells a M.2 form factor version of the 860 Evo. It still uses the SATA interface and will be as fast as your 860 Evo in the 2.5" form factor.

Ok, I didn’t really understand this until now. But it is true that the NVMe interface is only supported through the M2 specification? SATA III will not support those speeds.

M.2 can utilize the SATA bus or PCIe bus. NVMe is only supported over M.2 PCIe in drives that support the NVMe protocol.

So that's correct, SATA cannot reach those speeds.

Technically, NVME is supported on any PCI-E interface such as M.2, PCI-E slots, U.2, and SATA-Express. However, the most common is the M.2.
