PC Components

Greetings, 

I am thinking of building a gaming PC in September or October, and am slightly unsure of the parts to use. 

My current choices are as follows:

 

CPU; (Upcoming) AMD Ryzen 3600 

GPU: EVGA Dual-fan 1660 ti 

Motherboard: ASUS B450 PLUS

RAM: Corsair Value 8gb x 2 2666 Mhz

Storage: 1tb Seagate Firecuda 7200 rpm SATA 3 flash-accelerated

PSU: Corsair VS650 (650 watt 80 plus bronze rated)

Case: NZXT H500

Fans (No adequate fan included in the case): 4 x Noctua 140mm Industrial 2000RPM Fan

CPU Cooler: Included (Hopefully)

SSD: N/A

 

Monitor recommendations would also be appreciated. 

 

Monitor specs: 144 hz, at lest 75% colour gammit/Srgb, 1-3 ms response time, etc...

 

Thanks

think about that when you're ready to buy then, things change.

VS series are all 80+ white

brute forcing airflow in a below average airflow case is not how you should do things

Asus means overpriced and overhyped so far, we'll see how B550 and X570 boards do.

Just get separate SSD and HDD, most of these affordable SSHD only has 8GB flash memory comparing to a typical 120gb ssd.

only cpu & gpu is fine , re pick others.

Motherboard: ASUS - known to be overpriced, see if any B550 comes out

RAM: 8gb x 2 3000 Mhz as starting point

Storage: 1tb ssd is much better ~$100

PSU:  corsair cx / tx are much better

scrap psu and case, being honest? too shitty, case has no airflow so there's no point on getting fans and the PSU is too low quality for that build, get lower wattage and higher quality, G2 maybe, Focus Plus, RMx.

 

GPU... a 1070Ti maybe, same performance, I'd say a 590 but I'm not sure if it'll be enough for 144 fps (resolution?) think of price/performance

faster RAM, if Ryzen 3 works in the same as 2 does you'll need at least 3000MHz

storage definitely a standard 2.5" SSD + HDD combo instead of that one

 

there are better mobos but I guess that'll be OK-ish if you don't plan on overclocking, we don't know the power consumption of the 3600 (not TDP) yet though.

Thanks, I'll take up your advice

If you are not buying until Sep/Oct then you are better going with a B550 chipset board as they should have better VRM's and also work out of the box with Ryzen 3xxx unlike B450.
