Pc died emergency replacement.

[Hypa]

Okay recently my pc died. So I'm having to build sooner than I'd like. The plan is to go and build a quick pc that will tide me over till Zen2 launch so I can put the upgraded cpu in but I'm worried with the recent mobo support for the next gen ryzen if it's upgrade safe and if any improvements can be made to the general build.

(and I'm unsure if I should buy my gpu now and bottle neck it to all hell with a lower tier cpu hence the integrated graphics chip)

( this was the original plan for finished build except with the next gen ryzen chip)

So if you guys wouldn't mind casting your eyes over it to make sure all is well.

 

Appologies for any spelling/grammar and formatting  issues its 3am and I'm on a mobile phone.

It's likely fine as Motherboard OEM's have been coming out saying they'll add the Ryzen 3rd gen support to any board that can handle them, but only way to be 100% sure is to see them confirm it per product (a supported list of B450's that Gigabyte will confirm are getting bios updates to support using the new cpus).

That being said, the 2nd list you made looks like a fine gaming rig.  My quick thoughts are that the CPU cooler seems a bit overkill (especially on price when an air cooler does the job well and nearly as quiet for less than half that) and it looks like a well balanced setup.  If you value more SSD storage I'd consider going to an HP EX900/EX920 (really good prices on US sites, not sure if UK has it cheap also) or an MX500/Samsung 860 EVO as NVMe drives have few fringe cases that it'll be noticeably faster than standard Sata SSDs.

the only reason i considered the aio was due to keep some resemblance of a colour scheme haha. 

 

Was considering the integrated graphics due to being unsure if the newer gpus will go down in price closer to Zen 2 release but I'm in two minds about it. otherwise I'll consider the ryzen 5 cpu when I wake up making decisions on a tired brain isn't good for me. We have all woken up after the night before regretting stuff we have done.

was just looking through some of the reports and aparently the 300 series motherboards might struggle to utilize the new Zen 2 chips if u can recommend a different mobo that will work I've got a 2k budget for the tower so I still have 500 worth of wiggle room just incase so if the mobo is slightly  more expensive it shouldn't be too much of an issue

As in? The MSI boards not supporting zen 2 was a miscommunication error.

well in your opinion would the x470 prime pro be worth the increase in price

features look almost the same, not worth it.
