Q. I chose these parts based on a bit of research. Just let me know if i missed anything in terms of compatibility or anything else.
1. Motherboard - MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
2. CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
3. RAM - G.Skill Trizent Z RGB 16GB (8GB x2) @3200Mhz
4. GPU - Zotac Gaming RTX 2070 mini
5. Storage - Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD + 240GB WD Green SSD
6. PSU - 650W bronze certified by Corsair
7. Case - Thermaltake V200 RGB Tempered Glass case
What i would like to know specifically are these three questions below.
1. Does the MSI B450 works with Ryzen 7 3700X right out of the box without any issues ?
2. Does the G.Skill 3200Mhz RAM work with MSI B450 right out of the box ? Because i read something about O.C under motherboard details. Could you clarify that please ?
3. I'm having hard time choosing the case for this build. I'm looking for good air flow and i chose Thermaltake V200. Should i change my case or is this case good enough to provide enough cooling for this build ?
A.
1. The motherboard may require a BIOS update. We can update the BIOS on customer request. Please mention "BIOS update" in the comments section under the view cart during checkout. We will update the BIOS of the motherboard and then ship it to you.
2. G.Skill 3200Mhz RAM will work with MSI B450. However most of the RAMs run at 2666MHz at default. You have to enable XMP in the BIOS to run at tested 3200MHz.
3. The case is good. You can go for a 240mm AIO cooler for the cooling of CPU. You may also look for MSI MAG Force 100M for a cabinet with great airflow.
Also, it is recommended to choose a 750W+ SMPS with bronze certification or above to keep a safe overhead for any future upgrades.
