How can I improve this build?

[Sovu]

I've gone to these forums before to ask the same question on a previous, out-dated idea. Now, I return with a little more updated and thought out build that I still want to improve on. I think I've got the right idea, but I'm sure there is someone out there who can bring their expertise to me and help me out. Thanks.

Unless you plan on upgrading your video card, you don't need a 650 watt psu, 500 watts is fine for that build.

I would also not buy a $110 AIO with how much your rig cost. Buy something like a Cryorig H7 and save yourself $80 you can put towards a SSD.

Wont the overclocking require more than 500 watts?

Short answer, no. Long answer, no.

And you really don't need liquid cooling to overclock. I use a Cooler Master 212 and the CPU is overclocked to 4.4 and I have perfect temps. Somewhere around 43 C.

Oh, wow. I'll check it out. What CPU is this on? Ryzen 5 1600?

Save money on the psu and cooler and get a better processor. Probably would get the Cryorig H7 instead of the coolermaster 212 evo.

In my sig.

There aren't many reviews for this. You actually got it to 4.4?

For the same price it looks like you could get the Ryzen 7 1700 if you went with the Cryorig H7 and a 550W PSU (Like Seasonic SSR-550RM)

They can get up to 4.5 Mhz. I just set the option in BIOS and it was there. Wasn't hard at all. Of course, this is a Gigabyte MOBO, not sure how others do it.

Cooler Master 212

Depending on the cpu you can get thermal runaway on the 212 at overclocks that aio units can keep in check
