Hi! I'm trying to do my build 'cause my actual PC doesn't allow me to really use MD and crashes a lot on Unreal. (I'm actually on a laptop... :/)
I would really appreciate some reviews as I'm not good on hardware and never had a desktop to compare. Here's what I tought:

CPU: AMD 3900x 12 Core 24 Thread (3.8 GHz/ 4.6 GHz)
CPU Cooler: Be Quiet! Dark Pro 4 1200 RPM min 1500 RPM max -I read that it was heavy, idk if it can be a problem?-
Motherboard: Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite (socket AM4)
GPU: EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 6Go 14000MHz GDDR6
RAM: Corsair LPX 2x16Go 3200MHz
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SATA III
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2To 7200 rpm 256Mo cache
PSU: Corsair 80+ Bronze 550W
Case: Corsair Carbide 270R 2 USB 3.0 + jack and 2 fan 120mm included (1 back/1 front) -will it be cool enough or do I need more fan?-
It also has 2 dust filters (on the front air intakes and those of the power supply)

Thanks for your help and sorry if my english isn't perfect :)

Hey Stilnotx,
The build looks great to me, I see no issues whatsoever and it will perform nicely for your workloads :)

The CPU cooler is heavy, but as it is mounted with a backplate on the Motherboard, it will be stable. You should take care though when moving your pc around to always lie it down flat.

One intake fan and another to push air out of your case is fine and will suffice for this kind of setup.
