Ryzen 5 1600 MicroATX planning/build

[Shuaib Aliyu]

Currently,my budget is around $850 for a ryzen 5 1600 micro atx build. My friend is possibly giving me his old rx480,so gpu doesnt need to be included. Alot of the research ive done is a bit dated since its been a while since ryzen was released. I just want some of you tech enthusiasts's advice on the matter. Also please include a wifi adapter,i cant do a wired connection where im putting the pc. The smaller,the better. Please also include fans,and a AIO if possible.

considering you already have the gpu, you can do a lot with $850

 

250 gb ssd (samsung is the best, a lot of other brands are good)

2-3 tb hdd (find a good deal)

 

case: Meshify C Mini.?

Right now this is what I'm looking at. I dont want to waste money if i dont have to. So far i know that microcenter will let me get the cpu,motherboard,and aio for $250. I just dont feel comfortable with that ram. I just want to get the best price to performance i can for 1080p high AAA gaming/streaming.

Look quite solid overall.

 

16 GB RAM won't really benefit gaming though.

Really? Ive seen reports all over the place saying 16gb is going to be the minimum soon.

but more ram  beyond 8 doesn't add anything to the graphics nor does it improve the framerate more than maybe a few frames.

 

maybe pubg benefits from 16 gb only because its a poorly optimized game.  but 99.9% of games dont

I'll also be streaming and doing other things while gaming,so i do think more ram helps with that

better to get 16gb if you can, since 8gb can be cutting it close nowadays.

[minervx]

get 8gb now.  see how you like it.  if its not enough, buy another.

Yeah,i kind of got that one because I'm sorry to say but the evga glow got to me a bit...and is there a real point in going from bronze to gold rating on a psu?

It's not all about the efficiency rating.... reliability is the most important factor...

EVGA's G2 & G3 lineup of PSUs come under tier 1 of PSU ratings. . .which are considered to be the best....

While the corsairs cx(2017) lineup comes in tier 3....

 

Have a look at this post in the forum...

the 80+ rating is just an indicator of how well it converts wall power, don't bother with it unless power costs more than gold in your area.

picked the ATX board over its m-atx variant since it was cheaper, but you can always go m-atx if you want.

 

nvm, it's cheaper, so get that if you prefer small.

i assume the stock cooler is good enough for a 4GHz overclock?

i'm not sure about that, just see how far you can go when it gets here.

3.8-3.9ghz is achievable using stock cooler

After doing some more research and calling micro center. I decided to get the R5 1600 with Asus Prime B350 Micro ATX motherboard, and EVGA CLC 120mm AIO for $249. I know the AIO is overkill, but for how cheap it is and how much i love the look i think its worth. Thank you both for the help, and if you have any other recommendations id love to hear them.
