looks fine, that motherboard is great. I had the asus rog crosshair am4 (Bricked itself $250 board!) and swapped to that for my Ryzen 1700x and its working so much better.


Two adjustments I would make is springing for a 570 if you can swing it because the difference in frames from a 560 is actually decent.

 

Also on that Ram stick get at least 1 stick of 3200mhz if you can afford it. Reason being is Ryzen directly is impacted by Ram speed, so buying that stick allows you to overclock it (That PC MATE board has a A-XMP 1 click option that works like a freaking charm) and you can then add more ram as needed.

I would rather agree on what we share, than fight on what we don't. - Myself

How about this for a base build, and then someone with more budget can choose if he/she wants more RAM, an SSD, a better case, etc.

your build put too much emphasis on the CPU and not enough on the GPU IMO. (also why such an expensive case?)

Well it's under $650 so technically you can expand. I don't really think the G4560 is the best option at some points.

What iceberg dealt with team elite is a DOA ram stick so I suggest to switch the ram to a popular brand

Im mostly on discord now and you can find me on my profile

 

My Build: Xeon 2630L V, RX 560 2gb, 8gb ddr4 1866, EVGA 450BV 

My Laptop #1: i3-5020U, 8gb of DDR3, Intel HD 5500

Why?

It's enough for even BF1 (despite what the requirements say), and with the extra money, getting an RX 570 will provide a WAY better gaming experience.
