1. Budget & Locationo

I'm mostly concerned about the ram, heard rumors about Ryzen having issue with high frequency ram, should I get some like 2400MHz or 3000MHz instead? I'm in China so all the dollar prices are conversed from RMB,  and we don't yet have Gskill Flare on sale. Also if you have any suggestions on better budget planning for certain parts, pls let me know.

 

2. Aim  &  3. Monitors

Pure 1080P gaming on a single monitor, the planned rig would likely to stay with me for 2 years(possibly slamming an additional 8G ram). I would like to slightly overclock the CPU and GPU(like a 10% boost).

Crisis 3, Arma 3, Fallout 4(with heavy mod usage), ME Andromeda, Escape from Tarkov, etc.

Wait for Ryzen 5 reviews to actually come out before committing to buying one.

Looks good. PSU could be better.
However imo, you should wait for reviews on Ryzen 5.

Thx for the reply, though what you mean by "better"? It would seem that 550W is enough even for overclocking.

Also for Ryzen 5 review, there have been plenty on Youtube.

Perhaps switch the K282 to something that has holes for cable management. Like the Thermaltake Versa H15 (mATX), or the NZXT Source 210 (ATX)

"Better" quality. Wattage doesn't contribute to good quality. Get at least tier 3 from here:

Also for the Ryzen 5 review on Youtube, I believe that it is based on the Ryzen 7 CPUs by adjusting the cores, threads and clock speeds to match the Ryzen 5 specs. (correct me if I was wrong)

I dont know for sure but it seems that some people already got Ryzen 5, unless they are somehow faking it. Maybe they got it from pre-order or AMD gave it away for preview.

Personally, I will go for the Seasonic G and the Cooler Master V.

Thx for the input, I guess I will pick V550 just to be sure.
