The Second PC I've Ever Built - Thoughts?

[kriptcs]

So this is one of my first computer that I have ever built and it has been made for editing/streaming.

Specs

• Ryzen 5 1600 - Stock Cooler
• MSI GTX 1050 
• 16GB Dual Channel Corsair Vengeance LED
• Asus Prime X370 - PRO
• NZXT S340
• Corsair CX450M
• Seagate Barracuda 1TB
• Phanteks LED StripSo,What are your thoughts on the build? Any tips on how can I make it better? All feedback is appreciated.Thank you!

Aesthetically or performance improvements? I personally would spend less on the mobo for a B350 one and get an SSD. Also I wouldnt but a premium graphics card, but rather a cheap single fan one. Not like the cooling is bad or the premium design gives much performance boost.

No RGB, thumbs down.

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding, it looks good, GPU seems to be in a sweet spot with the CUDA acceleration for editors. Depending on the software OpenCL could've been a better choice but thats only for a few programs. 

X370? A tad bit overkill? You could've saved a bit if you went for something cheaper as it would not affect performance of the system. An SSHD or just straight up SSD for import media would also have been nice to see in such a system.

There was a lot debate when I was in the market about the b350 motherboards having bad..*those things that give the cpu power,forgot their name) so my choices were  very limited.So to avoid the controversy and stay on the theme,I bought this.It is overkill but it opens a lot of room for upgradeability (maybe not for the cpu,but I can oc it).I am still considering an SSD but I bought as is ,because I might wanna get an m.2

There is nothing I can do now that I bought it.I focused on aesthetics as well on this build so I had to buy a 1050+ it has cuda cores,so a plus for me.

Looks like a pretty balanced build only thing aesthetics wise is the red gpu stands out against all the white. but if thats what you were going for nice!

I plan on painting it white

I like it, aesthetically it looks great.  I think maybe you could've gone for at least a gtx1060, especially for streaming purposes, but yeah I think you'd be fine - and again, it looks good.

My GPU has no purpose on the streaming side of things,it's a secondary pc,I also have a gaming one.The only.reason I bought the gpu is because ryzen does not have igpu

What's the cable coming from the middle of the motherbiard for? Leds? Yeah. either way looks like you can routhe that under the gpu for a cleaner look. right behind the pci slot. Looks really good tough

1050 TI is still the better performance for money deal in my opinion. Even if its a secondary pc.

I think it looks good, I actually like the red nice looking build

I was looking mainly for aesthetics
