Any recommendations?

[TheGoot]

Hi, i am looking for any suggestions on what i should change/add in my build so far. So far i have bought my case, power supply, and motherboard. I do have wiggle room for my budget.

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

i am not sure whether i should get this or the 1600X because i want the fan with the 1600 but my friend told me id need to spend extra on an aftermarket fan anyway and should go with the 1600X.

 

CPU Cooler:Corsair H60 54.0 CFM CPU liquid cooler

 

Motherboard: Asus prime X370-A 

 

Memory:Crucial - Ballistix Sport LT 8GB

im going to be honest i dont really know too much about ram and can use some help

 

Storage: 240GB SanDisk SSDplus and 1TB wd blue HDD

 

Video Card: any gtx 1060 3gb after prices return to normal

Is it worth it to go to the 6gb version?

 

Case:Corsair Spec-alpha black Atx mid tower

 

I want a decent sized gaming monitor for less than 300 and decent peripherals.

The H60 is mediocre, get a decent air cooler instead (or use stock, can OC fine). The 6GB 1060 would be better, 3Gb of Vram isnt really enough anymore.

There is no reason to spend extra for the 1600X, just get the 1600.

I was going to argue that the SL308 is $30+ more than the HyperX Fury SSD but I checked what the 120GB version of the SL308 had spec wise and it's around $65 and has read speeds of 560 MB/s and write speeds of 460 MB/s which is better compared to the HyperX Fury SSD's read speed of 500 MB/s and write speed of 500 MB/s. Over all the SL308 wins but if you want to save $4 and still have the same performance more or less than go for the HyperX FurySSD SSD ?.

Clicked the wrong button and quoted you, sry/

 

 

But it is better then the SSD Plus, by quite a bit.
