What do you think?

[Herman Mcpootis]

get a better psu, the coolermaster B2 isn't good. try xfx ts, corsair cx450m instead. get a 1600 and overclock, cheaper and will perform the same after overclocks.get some faster ram if you can. what's your budget?

[Guest]

get a 1600 instead it's almost the same and comes with a cooler. The cooler you chose isn't better than amd one

uv400 has poor performance iirc

COoler master b2 is bad

I thought the B2 was 80 Plus Silver?!

also keep in mind that I'm going to have Crossfire so I need enough power for that

fun fact... I don't know how to overclock a CPU

Efficiency does not equal quality.

efficiency =/= quality

look up a couple guides on youtube or google, it's not very difficult.

budget?

for that budget, I'd go with an i7 and gtx 1070 for gaming instead.

I agree with the others so won't echo them too much but get the 1600 and use the saving to get a better psu

 

 

Get from Tier 1-3

For that budget I'd go with a more expensive processor  ok...

 

PSU is too weak and he has an RX 480 already and wants to crossfire. Did you not read the OP?

What's this thermalright macho rev.b????

 

[tom_w141]

@XplosiveNoctua99

 

My suggestion (couldn't find your case so just used one I like so the total would be less irl)

 

EDIT: Also Note I changed the motherboard as pc part picker wasn't allowing crossfire on the Asrock, this could be a bug or it is not supported by the asrock so be careful before buying.

Read above, SSD Plus is mediocre

 

Also you should get RAM that are on mobo compatibility list as Ryzen have issues with high speed RAM

Actually its a fair budget SSD which is required here. I already doubled the size going for a premium SSD as well would go way out of budget - im aware its not top spec but it'd do the job just fine.

 

The RAM he chose is fairly expensive for a reason... Take it you don't know G skill flare is made for ryzen and uses Samsung b die only (ryzen friendly). He chose this RAM in OP so I just used it because a) he isn't wrong and b) he already chose it.

this says it has Crossfire

and The Thermalright thing is not the cooler that i ever mentioned... so i don't know where you got that idea from

That's great that just means pc part picker is wrong  Proceed with the Asrock if that's the one you want. I was just being cautious and trying to make sure a mistake wasn't made.

Because of the infinity fabric you want 3000+ Ram trust me  (R7 1700 user here).

I'm creating two builds from scratch now...

an Intel one and a Ryzen one

I'll see what happens
