Saved some money from the motherboard and put that into a much better PSU. The ASRock B450-Pro4 even has 2 more SATA ports should you need more storage in the future.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600  Heatsink: ID-Cooling Frostflow X GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 Mini 6GB RAM: KLEVV Bolt 3600Mhz (2x8GB) Mobo: ASUS B550-F ROG Strix (Wifi)  Case: Fractal Design Meshify C PSU: Deepcool DQ-M-V2L

What monitor do you have? What games do you play?

 

Only real suggestion is to switch that SSD to a much better one. WD Blue, Team Group L5 Lite 3D, Crucial MX500, Samsung 860 Evo. Or something NVMe like the Intel 660p (which has been on sale) or the HP EX920.

i like your idea... but not the way you did it. i would turn back to the cx, and invest in a better cooled 580, as the armor is known to be one of the worst 580 cards around

Interesting, tbh I don't follow much of the AMD cards so I wouldn't have known.

Well thats easily correctable, considering it was under OP's original budget anyway.

it was also for the pascal cards. since the 2000/1600 series they're decent, ventus took their spot as the loudest dualfan from msi now

Zotac and Gigabyte seem to be the go-to brands where I'm from, MSI are usually sought for their boards not their cards.

The few friends of mine that did go for MSI cards either don't care for noise or it was the cheapest one on sale. (this is for Nvidia)

 

AMD cards are almost Sapphire everywhere, every man and their dog is using a Sapphire if its an AMD card.

@klinga are you within reasonable driving distance of a Microcenter? if you are you can save the better part of $40 off that CPU by going to Microcenter, which frees up some cash for a better quality PSU (which can last you through multiple builds and upgrades) or go for a smaller SSD and combine those savings to get a 1 TB HDD to hold your games.

More than that. $40 off the CPU, another $30 off if you get the motherboard there as well (it's $70 there to begin with though, so only a $20 savings I guess). Plus you can use a $5.00 off coupon there from here (I use this every time I go):

 

https://instore.thread.co/retailmenot/microcenter.com/offer/XR5LE4ZL3NC7JNZU5ZL6OSUCJM?click_id=AE1E7D5E-F159-4562-949F-35A6117075FD&uq=QZRZEMQRRRH6VAZ7TOTQU5CG2A&df=LWEPJVKTUJGUXBTVQZ7KTHNW2Y&session=nxlJYLZ3Hx5cb76cb226426

 

So that would be a $65 savings.
