Hey guys, some input needed.

 

As a man on a budget, I do not often buy a new PC (and unlike Linus, people definitely do not send me free shit). Instead I like to buy a quality PC and then stick with it for quite some time. Our current PC has survived for 6! years, but is straining. The cooler master case has been with me for nigh on 15 years, and is at the end of it's life. My methods has it's advantages. We can enjoy keeping up with new games for a number of years, although definitely not at full power near the end, and as time, the PC spirits and nature intended components are becoming affordable again after Bitcoinmania, and AMD is back in the game with the RYZEN (YEEEY). I've always been a fan of the AMD CPUs. The drawback is I have to dig into the hardware changes since last time (between build I only look at the big picture changes), and since this new pc has to last, I need to get it right in one go.

Now I have looked around and I created what I believe to be a nice PC, for a little over €1000. So my question to you guys is: Do you believe this to be a balanced build, and if not what would you change. Needless to say, pls stay around the 1K budget mark.

I chose.......... *drumroll please*

i think that it'll be a nice build, but id say try for a B450 Motherboard, like the MSI mortar.
