Curious why you're buying components from Best Buy. That's not exactly their forte.
Because I'm getting one for 10% off.

Optical DVD burner. Might go blueray
but will upgrade to x5800 or x5900 in a few months
Why?
If you need one, get a USB external slimline that you can move around. No reason to put one in a system these days.
Otherwise your build looks good- remember to take pictures and post your build experience and impressions!

Testing a 3700x on a ROG X370-F with some cheap ram CRUCIAL 16GB 8X2 D4 3200CL16 BSLT.
So far on the AGESA 1002 BIOS, boost to 4.4Ghz works, and I have the ram running at 3600C16.
Will be swapping to an X570 shortly and doing more comparison testing.
think you mounted your pc together upside down! (been a while since i seen supply mounted on top)Here is my finished build. The shots in the dark are with the front cover off. During summer gonna run this way. Plus I love the LED lights that shine through my Noctua redux 140mm fans
GPU is a gigabyte 1070ti
Boot disk is the inland m2 512 GB and steam library/data drive is a 1tb team sata SSD.

Kinda like it on top as it acts a secondary exhaust point and it allows for the GPU to be on the very bottom with vents in the bottom of the case to it can receive fresh air. Plus its a SFX-L so its so cute and tiny, but Sea sonic quality. This was if I venture further down the SFF PC rabbit hole because lets face it this case is more in the realm of Micro-AXT size but super tiny compared to my old school Lian-Li PC Lancool K-58think you mounted your pc together upside down!

you doing a manual 0/C or PBO?CPU: R5 3600 @ 4.2GHz
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 @ 3600
GPU: Gigabyte 2070 Super Gaming OC (+100/+800)
Mobo: MSI B450 Tomahawk
Case: Fractal Meshify C
PSU: Gigabyte GP-750H
Storage: 500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus
Loving this setup. Super quiet with virtually no changes needed for fan curves, etc... Paired with a 1440p ultrawide for maximum gaming pleasure!
Temps stay super low. In synthetics (e.g. prime95/intelburntest) CPU peaks in mid 60s C, and I've never seen the GPU break 64C even in extended Furmark runs. During real world load (gaming) temps hover in mid 50s for both. The NH-D15 barely fits in this case, but dear god does it do a good job!

Ryzen 3000, but technically Ryzen+, rather than Ryzen 2.
3400G
In Win BP655
Silverstone TFX 300W
MSI B450 itx Gaming Plus

Noctua NH L9a
LG portable DVD 8X USB
The case is just alright. I'd rather they sold it for $30 less without the PSU. Then it would be more worth recommending. The included 200W PSU was too loud and had to replace it.
Also, the front panel cables are a bit short, and can't be routed around things.
One the plus side, with only an SSD or M.2, this case can offer decent ventilation for its size, unlike some other cases built to a small form factor.
Meanwhile, the wifi on this motherboard isn't the greatest (Intel 3168 module).
Given all my unused PSU cabling, maybe I should have gone with a smaller case and a Pico power adaptor. I just really dislike any kind of external adapter.
And with my 300W PSU I ended up with, I could potentially beef things up a bit down the road without power concerns.

Thanks for the suggestion man, I appreciate it. My preference is 32GB, budget is <$500. I've come to that sad realization that populating all 4 dimms is not really an option as the chances of hitting the advertised speeds isn't guaranteed.daphatgrant , do you want 16 or 32GB? If $200 is within your budget, I would get the same 32GB G.skilll B die based kit I have. It is running 3400c14 across (this is with 2 DR DIMMs)and will run everything at 3600 c14-15-14...
I got mine from Newegg for $190, here is a link G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model F4-3000C14D-32GVK https://m.newegg.com/product/N82E16820232214?ignorebbr=1&m_ver=1
If you want to save even more and roll the dice on OC'ing the Crucial Ballistix LTs that use Micron E die seem to be able to do 3400-3600c16... Personally I think the extra $50 is worth it.
240mm aio's are really insufficient for the 3900x. They behave more like heatpipes at that size in that there is no real volume of water to absorb temp spikes when they happen and full load @ 4.2Ghz all cores puts the temps in the 70C range. Granted, I'm using only 2 fans on the radiator. Still, system is rock stable despite temps at idle being 29C and swings to the 70's under full sustained load compiling. Half the compile times with the same hardware and software as my 1800x
I'll be looking for a 360mm setup in the future when I go to upgrade my graphics card (when the next set of navi cards come out that will compete at the highend)
ambient temp is roughly 77F
idle cpu: 29-32C
full load all cores at 4.2Ghz : 75-78C
full gaming load for avg games: mid 50's.
benchmarks here comparing to my 1800x setup. Done the next day on all the same hardware and software (no re-install or anything)

80c is not fine. . 70c makes me unhappy
Is that nasty blue led down the right side on all the time? That would drive me insane..
Yes, power and hdd activity LEDs.
But I only have the power LED active currently. And now that the build is stable, I'll probably unplug that one as well.
Have you tried per-ccx overclocking at all?I just got mostly dialed out. I'm quite new to Ryzen in general but it was simple enough. It's a bit more reliable than my previous SkylakeX 7820x. I got the cpu to 4.3ghz at 1.3v. Under Prime95 avx it gets up to 77c, but in normal use max average is 55c. Interestingly even at stock, the 3900x beat my [email protected] in Cinebench single and multi.
Parts:
Ryzen 3900x
Asus x570 Strix-E
Gskill TridentX 3600 32gb
Radeon VII
Cooling:

EK Velocity AMD cpu block
EK Vector Radeon VII gpu block
Swiftefch MCP35x pump
Have you tried per-ccx overclocking at all?
Der8auer did a video on it but he used a tool that isnt recommended for everyone. You should be able to do it through ryzen master. Heres a link with some discussionNot yet, I've still got a bit to learn. I just clocked the memory and set up offset voltage on the cpu. Is there a guide for per-ccx overclocking?
