Question Can someone review my build?

[Gamezdude]

I have just finished planning my first ever build and went over it to check for any incompatibilities or things that need to be changed. This might be abit of a complicated post as this is my first EVER build. So I want to get things RIGHT. I'll be as detailed and cooperative as I can if there are any questions.

Case is here as it is not present on PartPicker

From what I can tell, a few issues have cropped up.
1) Looking at the case and motherboard (front USBs) the 2.0s should be all functional to their best ability, but what about the 3.1s? The case front USBs are down as 3.0, however the motherboards are at 3.2, would this be downgraded to a 3.0?
2) Looking at the GFX, it mentions a GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit bus. I cannot find any mention of this on the motherboard. Would it work to the best of its ability?
3) The motherboard keeps mentioning there is a difference between the CPU and Motherboard in regards to Storage, RAID and USB. What does this mean?
4) Is the RAM compatible with the motherboard, I cannot see the B450 mentioned in the compatibles section? Also it mentions its built for overclocking which I have no intention of doing, switchout?

Are there any other issues I may of missed?

So from what i can see, i like most of the build....but....

1) You need a bigger power supply than a 450Watt Bronze. Try to get at least a good 600Watt+ model.

2) That 2TB hard drive might be fine to install your games onto, but really try to add a decent 500GB NVMe SSD drive as your main hard drive.

3) That TP-Link wireless card is garbage. I've used and sold them in the past. You really want an AC wireless card today.

4) That CoolerMaster case looks nice but doesn't have very good airflow. They do make other cases with tempered glass and some mesh front for better circulation.

Yeah I noticed I needed something more powerful. Currently looking into a replacement

3) That TP-Link wireless card is garbage. I've used and sold them in the past. You really want an AC wireless card today.

Is that the thing that plugs into the mains which is connected to the PC with an eternet cable. I heard it carries the signal through the home power cables to the router?

4) That CoolerMaster case looks nice but doesn't have very good airflow. They do make other cases with tempered glass and some mesh front for better circulation.

Ive heard the opposite as you can list/remove the panels for better ventilation....

I've built using that case before, not my pick but someone already had it chosen, so we used it. I'd say its best for two types of builds : low heat builds and builds where you use top/rear mount rads.

Your build with a 3600 and 2060 will run absolutely fine with any panel config you go with on that thing, there just isn't much heat put out by that combo.

That said, I feel the IO on that case is pretty poor, and it's a lot of money for what you get. Do check out the Gamers Nexus case roundup here :

They are the defacto gurus on cases, and things moved on a LOT between 2017 and 2019-2020, as companies finally began to figure out improving IO for modern hardware, and better still, excellent airflow for the better models.

Another thing to consider is that the stock 3600 HSF is not great. There are a number of entry level tower HSFs that are an enormous upgrade, and I'd highly recommend them EVEN FOR STOCK. AMD has cheapened out in the stock HSF department, and they're what I would call the barest minimum now.

Enjoy the new PC

the Aorus B450 Pro Wifi has over the Tomahawk Max:

1 additional m.2 slot (you'll want this in the future) (The aorus has 2x m.2 + included heatsinks)
1 additional PCI-E x16 slot (also backwards compatible with PCI-E x1
2 additional usb 3.0 ports in the rear (over 2.0 slots on the Tomahawk)
It has onboard wifi (only good if you're kind of close to the router, but works nonetheless)
It has onboard bluetooth
Realtek 1220 audio over Realtec 892 on the B450 (the 1220 is much better)

Dunno what the Tomahawk has over the aorus frankly, in terms of hardware. I know it has a good Bios, but r u going to overclock? I've also never seen the MSI bios, so i don't actually know if its better than the Aorus's
