Need advice - built ok?

[carver]

Need to upgrade my Homeoffice machine - components working since 2013... need some new hardware. I am forced to buy components in a special shop, since my company is paying for those parts... 10th gen intel are available, but no motherboards
anyway, is this built ok and able to run without any special techniques?
Any advice is really appreciated!

You really were due for an upgrade ! Were you actually still using 10.6.4 ?

See this Golden Build: https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...updated-for-10-14-6-and-nvram-support.275272/

This build should be compatible with MacOS High Sierra / Mojave / Catalina.

Looks good.

Here are my suggestions:

CPU: Try to get the -K version if possible (note: -K CPUs don't come with stock cooler)

Mobo: Good.

GPU: If you are going to run Catalina or later, then a Navi card wouldn't hurt.

RAM: Good. I'd try to get Vengeance LPX instead, but HyperX Fury is still a solid option.

PSU: The OEM of that PSU is CWT, which I have an RM850x (also CWT), and have had some small problems with it. You could get a newer be quiet! PSU, which the OEM is FSP (which is good), or if possible, try to get a Seasonic, or Seasonic-OEM unit (or an EVGA unit wouldn't be a bad idea either).

Case: I'm assuming that you are using your old one

CPU Cooler: The Noctua NH-U12s would be perfect for this. The Cooler Master Hyper 212 would also work.
