What pc is right for me?

I catered toward the top of the price range, since... I think if you are going to build you should build the best piece you can.

This is a very solid build given the price range, and will run your game very nicely (as well as whatever you want it to run in the future.)

 

There were a few cuts made, and if I were to build myself, I'd make these few changes:

  • Better MOBO, and the case is bigger since this one is ATX.

The game is pretty demanding.

I run it on a GT 1030 at 1080p with normal settings and 60fps

  • R5 1600 is cheaper and a better deal, R5 2600 is better at a similar price.
  • Ryzen needs dual channel RAM (so 2X4GB or 2X8GB) between 3000-3200mhz to operate well. With the 1x8 stick, you'll experience frame drops and diminished FPS. Here is a link for a similarly priced 2X4 3000mhz kit.
  • You'll want a SSD drive to boot on. It improves the computing experience drastically for around $20. 
  • The RX580 8GB is a solid choice. If you can front the extra $50-60 for a 1660Ti, it's a significant improvement. If not... I'd grab a different cooler unit than the Armor. It's known to have thermal issues in the AMD lineup. 
  • A 3TB constellation drive is going for the same price as that 1TB WD Blue... They are very comparable in quality. Get a better deal for your money!

I mean... No... 

 

The 1500X has fewer cores and costs more than the 1600. If you're concerned with the minute clock speed difference, grab the 2600 for about the same price as the 1500X. The 1500X is not the right offering in any case. See below.

 

A 480GB SSD is just fine. You can always slap an HDD in there later if you need more space. Note that once you've got it to like 65% capacity, it's time to grab a helper drive.

 

As stated, the 1660Ti is significantly more powerful than the RX 580 for only a few extra bucks. See below.

 

Your build is more expensive than the one I listed for inferior performance.

Even if there's not 5 slots on the MOBO, a 3-to-1 fan spreader is like $7. I use one to connect all 3 of my intakes from a single fan slot.

A spreader? It's just a 3-to-1 converter cable. It's generic.

Could always drop the HDD. 480GB SSD should at least hold a handful of big games you wanna play, and you can always slap another HDD in there later.

I cant rightly say. An LED fan splitter is just a fan splitter capable of working with LED fans. 

 

The Pro4 M natively supports 3 Chassis fans(2 front headers, 1 rear. It also of course supports a CPU fan, and an AMD unique socket called an AMD LED header, which I would guess is a controller header for the RGB Spire Pro. It does by rights appear just like a fan header. It may be worth seeing if it could support a fan as well. 

 

(Perhaps @LukeSavenije or @Stefan Payne could interject with insight on the AMD LED header and its function/use.)

 

The splitter I linked earlier wouldnt give you any problems. I cant speak to the connections on the one you posted. (They dont appear to be 4 pin.)
