The first two pics are the new Ryzen build, the second involves a slight overclock. Although I don't have a screenshot, 2960 novabench is the builder buddy score with mostly the same gear but now 32gb ram plus a watercooled cpu, unsure if stock gpu cooling but he's running at the highest overclocks that are stable enough for him! -haha- As a point of reference, I'm also including the last HP Z420 novabench I did after GTX 1080 update in spring of 2017.

That CoolerMaster 212 EVO is big and requires an 8" wide case. I have the two fan version of it I'm going to use with an (FX-8350 - $120 when I bought). CPU Comparison -- This has some slower CPU's, but those aren't used for gaming.

I just got an Antec case and am putting a computer in it. newegg.com The case comes with two 120mm fans with one in the top and one in the back. Love this case, but the only peculiarity was installing a 120mm fan in the front. Normally fans are mounted with standard fan screws, but this front fan mounts with standard computer case screws. I had to buy a screwdriver that would fit though the front fan hole for this. $3.50 at Home Depot. Also, this fan installation wouldn't work with the Cooler Master fans I had, because the corners were closed. What I did was replace the back and top Antec fans with Cooler Master fans and use one of the Antec fans for the front. This picture shows the difference in the corners. The Antec is on the left and the Cooler Master is on the right. This is a video of the case I got and it is a great case. youtube.com Josh * * *
